Banks Lake


April 28, 2024

Banks Lake is a popular fishing destination in Georgia, USA. The lake is known for its abundant population of largemouth bass, crappie, bluegill, and channel catfish. Anglers can also catch hybrid striped bass and white bass. Nearby activities include hiking, camping, and birdwatching. For fishing, it is recommended to use live bait or soft plastic lures. The best time to visit is during the spring and fall, with average temperatures ranging from the mid-60s to mid-70s °F. In the summer months, temperatures can soar into the 90s, making fishing less comfortable.
