Not a cloud worth mentioning today, with a whisper of wind from the NNE with a softening glass. The fish at Hatters Pond are likely to sit near the warm end of the pond. The strongest window runs from the day. Stay mobile and follow the activity. Shortening days concentrate the feeding into fewer hours.

You will find Hatters Pond in Mobile County, Alabama. The country round it is warm green lowland from end to end. Small at around 16 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it. It is low-lying compared with other Alabama water we list. Start from Creola, 2.1 miles down the road. Satsuma is 4 miles and Saraland 6.2 miles. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.
We hold no depth figure for this one. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Public wildlife records from this area list flagfin shiner. Local agencies hold the definitive list for this water. Fish Hatters Pond where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.
Climate records put July near 82°F and January near 50°F. Nothing shuts down for cold, so the question is when in the day to go. Heat pushes fish deep from June onwards, so start early. Late winter often fishes better here than midsummer does. It holds true on Hatters Pond more years than not.
The paperwork position is blank for this one. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. Keep the gear simple: light line, small hooks, split shot and a couple of proven lures. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. The nearest alternative is Dead Lake, 5.1 miles out. Nothing here settles the position at Hatters Pond for certain.
