McGee Lake is a reservoir in Dade County, and on a first trip I would start around one straightforward piece of water and stay there until I get a useful answer from the first setup. I would keep the opening plan simple around one promising section of bank and leave it alone until I get a useful answer from the opening stretch.

McGee Lake Size, Maximum Depth and Volume

A dependable standalone set of acreage, depth, and volume figures is not readily available for McGee Lake, so I would not guess at them until a dependable agency source confirms the number and would work one easy-to-read section of bank until I get a useful clue from the first area.

Fishing This Water

The fishery at McGee Lake is lightly documented, so I would use one light rod with a jig, worm, and float around one manageable shoreline stretch and let the first trip stay broad until I get a useful clue from the first adjustment. The best first setup on McGee Lake is a simple one around one nearby shoreline stretch, and I would leave it alone until I see enough in the first few casts.

A Practical McGee Lake Game Plan

I would approach McGee Lake by choosing one sheltered section of water, one target, and a small tackle selection, then make the simplest change first after I see enough in the first setup. If I see enough in the opening stretch, I would stop searching randomly and fish one straightforward section of water properly on McGee Lake. If I get a clear read from the first area, I would make a note of what happened around one promising section of water and use that as the starting point the next time I fish McGee Lake.
