300-acre lake near Wallis. The lake tops out around 18 ft. Contours on this water are modeled from its actual shoreline and max depth. Good for finding likely water, never for navigation. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
The drawn water covers 265 acres wrapped in 6.1 miles of bank. The 2.7 development index tells the story — a convoluted bank whose fishable edge far outruns the acreage. About 92% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Figure 1.4 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.8 mi at the beam. Forrest County claims this one. If the bite dies, Lake Perry is 20 mi to the east.
Spring largemouth bass on Geiger Lake hold shallow, usually 2 to 10 ft. By summer they slide out to 5 to 18 ft, and by winter most fish are in 5 to 18 ft.

The summer box starts with a texas-rigged 10" worm or a deep-diving crankbait.
