Anglers looking at Chatham County will find Lake Mayer, a lake; I would give one nearby section of bank a fair chance and resist moving until I see a pattern develop in the nearby water. A first trip should leave me with something specific, so I would stay around one short section of bank until I see a pattern develop in the opening stretch.
Lake Mayer Size, Maximum Depth and Volume
Reliable acreage, maximum depth, and storage figures are hard to verify for Lake Mayer, so I would leave those numbers open until a dependable agency source confirms the number and fish one sheltered section of bank until I get a useful answer from the first area.
Fishing This Water
A reliable fish list for Lake Mayer is difficult to confirm, so I would carry one light rod with a jig, worm, and float, fish one straightforward shoreline stretch, and leave the target open until I get a useful answer from the first adjustment. I would keep the tackle narrow on Lake Mayer, fish one promising shoreline stretch, and avoid changing everything until I get a useful clue from the first few casts.
A Practical Lake Mayer Game Plan
My first plan for Lake Mayer would be to fish one manageable section of water deliberately and make the simplest change first only after I get a useful clue from the nearby water. When I get a useful clue from the first hour, I would stay around one nearby section of water on Lake Mayer and build the rest of the trip around that pattern. If I see enough in the first area, I would count that as a successful first visit and come back to Lake Mayer with one short part of the lake already on the short list.
