Edwards Lakes

Edwards Lakes sits in Gwinnett County and is classified as a reservoir; I would pick one short piece of water as the first section and keep fishing it until I get a clear read from the first hour. For the opening part of the day, I would keep working one sheltered piece of water until I learn something from the first setup, because moving constantly makes a lake harder to read.

Edwards Lakes Size, Maximum Depth and Volume

Edwards Lakes does not have a dependable set of published size and depth measurements, so I would wait until a dependable agency source confirms the number before trusting a number and stay around one straightforward section of bank until I learn something from the opening stretch.

Fishing This Water

Public fish information tied specifically to Edwards Lakes is sparse, so I would start with a small tackle bag with a few soft plastics and live bait around one promising section of bank and avoid specializing until I find a repeatable bite in the first area. The first trip to Edwards Lakes is easier to read when the tackle stays simple around one easy-to-read shoreline stretch, at least until I find a repeatable bite in the first adjustment.

A Practical Edwards Lakes Game Plan

If I were seeing Edwards Lakes for the first time, I would work one manageable shoreline stretch with only a few dependable baits and change one variable at a time after I see a pattern develop in the first few casts. If I see a pattern develop in the nearby water, I would stay around one nearby shoreline stretch on Edwards Lakes and use that clue on the next similar stretch. After I see a pattern develop in the opening stretch, I would leave Edwards Lakes knowing that one sheltered section of water deserves another look before I start searching somewhere else.
