Murrays Lake

In Cobb County, Murrays Lake is listed as a reservoir; my opening stop would be one sheltered shoreline stretch, and I would stay with it until I get a useful answer from the opening stretch. The first trip does not have to solve everything, so I would keep fishing one promising section of water until I get a useful clue from the first area before I add more distance or tackle.

Murrays Lake Size, Maximum Depth and Volume

Exact size and depth measurements are sparse for Murrays Lake, so I would leave the figures unstated until a trustworthy source publishes a defensible number and use one easy-to-read section of water until I get a useful clue from the first adjustment.

Fishing This Water

Species information for Murrays Lake is limited, so I would use a basic first-trip selection of small artificials and a bottom rig around one manageable part of the lake and wait to specialize until I see enough in the first few casts. I would choose one bait style that fits the target on Murrays Lake, work it around one nearby part of the lake, and keep it there until I see enough in the nearby water.

A Practical Murrays Lake Game Plan

For a first trip to Murrays Lake, I would fish one short part of the lake long enough to judge the plan, then make only the changes the first few bites justify after I see enough in the opening stretch. After I get a clear read from the first area, I would give one sheltered starting zone more time on Murrays Lake instead of immediately looking elsewhere. Once I get a clear read from the first adjustment, I would remember what worked around one straightforward starting zone and begin the next trip to Murrays Lake with that same clue.
