A fishing license from either state allows fishing these waters from a boat (note: a GA license is required for fishing upstream from the GA Hwy 109 bridge). Quality spotted bass fishing attracts many anglers, and the lake also has a reputation for occasional lunker largemouth bass. Plenty of creek channels into the lake from all directions and create excellent cover and conditions all over the lake. West Point Lake is located on the western border state, at West Point, GA.
