Demott Lake sits in Colquitt County and is classified as a reservoir; I would pick one straightforward starting zone as the first section and keep fishing it until I get a clear read from the first adjustment. For the opening part of the day, I would keep working one promising starting zone until I learn something from the first few casts, because moving constantly makes a lake harder to read.
Demott Lake Size, Maximum Depth and Volume
Demott Lake does not have a dependable set of published size and depth measurements, so I would wait until a verified bathymetric map supports the measurement before trusting a number and stay around one easy-to-read area near the launch until I learn something from the nearby water.
Fishing This Water
Public fish information tied specifically to Demott Lake is sparse, so I would start with a simple freshwater kit with worms, small jigs, and one moving bait around one manageable area near the launch and avoid specializing until I learn something from the first hour. The first trip to Demott Lake is easier to read when the tackle stays simple around one nearby piece of water, at least until I find a repeatable bite in the first setup.
A Practical Demott Lake Game Plan
If I were seeing Demott Lake for the first time, I would work one short piece of water with only a few dependable baits and change location before rebuilding the tackle plan after I find a repeatable bite in the first adjustment. If I see a pattern develop in the first few casts, I would stay around one sheltered piece of water on Demott Lake and use that clue on the next similar stretch. After I see a pattern develop in the nearby water, I would leave Demott Lake knowing that one straightforward section of bank deserves another look before I start searching somewhere else.
