AKA: West Point Reservoir

What to fish for...

Fishing for largemouth bass, spotted bass, channel catfish, black crappie, white crappie, bluegill, redbreast sunfish, redear sunfish, white bass, hybrid striped bass and bowfin at West Point Lake in Georgia.

A 26,000-acre paradise for anglers, West Point Lake is home to bass, crappie, catfish hybrid stripers and sunfish. This 35-mile stretch of the Chattahoochee River, along the GA - AL border provides 525 miles of shoreline for fishing, boating, watersports, picnicking and vacationing. Camping and lodging options are available in either state. 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.
