Griffith Lakes, North Carolina: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Griffith Lakes sits within Mecklenburg County in North Carolina. It stands 768 feet above sea level. About 18 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. It is among the larger waters listed here for Mecklenburg County. For a base, Huntersville sits 6 miles out. Charlotte is the closest city, 6.8 miles away. The boundary is close enough to be worth checking before you fish.

• Where to Fish on Griffith Lakes

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. Records held for Mecklenburg County cover bluegill, redbreast sunfish and green sunfish. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. Griffith Lakes gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about 40°F and July at about 79°F, the water has a wide range to work through. No part of the year shuts this water. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to be out. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. Plan any trip to Griffith Lakes around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. The closest car park is 0.9 miles away, so pack accordingly. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Dillons Twin Lakes sits 3 miles off and takes the overflow. Treat access at Griffith Lakes as something to verify.
