Discover the ultimate bass fishing secrets at Sutton Lake, NC with our meticulously crafted fishing waypoints. Leveraging the power of Google Earth®, Garmin® HD Contours as well as other tools, we've pinpointed the most productive hot spots where bass thrive. Delve into the intricacies of the lake breakdown, as our waypoints lead you to strategic locations like offshore spots, fish attractors, vegetation, rock, a hard spot, the plant's water output and the boat ramp, ensuring you're at the heart of the action.
Sutton Lake is a roughly 1,100-acre power plant cooling reservoir in New Hanover County, built in 1972 beside the Cape Fear River just outside Wilmington. Duke Energy owns the lake, NC Wildlife runs the public fishing area and boat ramp, and it has long been one of the best-known largemouth bass lakes in the region, with sunfish, flathead catfish and black crappie as well. It is an offshore lake, and this breakdown is built around that. Our breakdown marks 61 waypoints, including 35 offshore spots, 19 NC Wildlife fish attractors, 3 vegetation beds, 2 cover and structure spots (a hard spot and the plant's water output), a rock spot and the ramp, plus a traced ditch.
But that's not all – we've taken it a step further by uncovering offshore fishing hot spots. Explore creek channel swings, humps, ledges, drop-offs, and points that promise an exhilarating bass fishing experience. The simplicity lies in the seamless import of these waypoints into your fishing graphs, providing you with a hassle-free navigation experience.
When you make a digital file purchase, you'll receive a supporting email containing the essential files for your graph – a .gpx file and a .kml file. These files not only enhance your on-the-water experience but also offer the flexibility to view Simplistic Fishing waypoints through a mobile app or on Google Earth®.
Elevate your bass fishing game with precision and ease and let our lake breakdown guide you to success on Sutton Lake, NC.

On-the-Water Safety
On-the-Water Safety
Waypoints mark fishing structure, not safe travel routes. Brush piles, humps, ledges, rock, and attractors are exactly the kind of things a boat can hit. Many of the best spots sit in shallow or timber-filled water — idle in, watch your depth, and never run a straight line between waypoints at speed.
- You are the captain. Keep a proper lookout and run at a safe speed for the conditions, especially at night or in low light.
- GPS data can't guarantee obstacle clearance. Lake levels and structure change; a waypoint shows where something is, not that the water around it is safe.
- Looking for safe boat routes? Our Guide Lanes are verified navigation paths for select Texas lakes.
Safe operation of your boat is your responsibility. Simplistic Fishing is not responsible for damage, injury, or loss arising from use of this product.
