Fishing at Worsham Lake, Twiggs County, Georgia

• Overview

  Set in Twiggs County, Worsham Lake is a Georgia water. The bank is 390 feet above sea level. Small at around 7 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it. Jeffersonville is the closest place, 1.4 miles off. Gordon follows at 13 miles, then Robins Air Force Base at 16 miles. No boundary runs near, so the county rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Worsham Lake

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Biodiversity records within roughly six miles include redbreast sunfish, redfin pickerel, warmouth and eastern creek chubsucker. Check the state or provincial list before planning around one species. On Worsham Lake that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 81°F at the top of summer and 46°F at the bottom of winter. Heat sets the pattern from late spring onward. The first and last hours carry the summer; the middle is slow. Late winter often fishes better here than midsummer does. Worsham Lake fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Should this one be busy, McCallum Pond is 1.4 miles off. Signs at Worsham Lake carry more weight than any list.
