Smith Brothers Pond in Coffee County: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Smith Brothers Pond is a Coffee County water, in Alabama. It stands 269 feet above sea level. This is a pocket water of some 10 acres, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. You are 3.6 miles from Enterprise. The nearest city of size is Montgomery, 80 miles away. The county line runs close by, so rules can change within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Smith Brothers Pond

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Public wildlife records from this area list bluegill, blackbanded darter, channel catfish and choctawhatchee darter. Treat it as evidence of what swims in the area. The shape of Smith Brothers Pond rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 81°F in July and bottoms out near 48°F in January. Winter is the comfortable season here rather than the difficult one. Heat pushes fish deep from June onwards, so start early. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to fish here. Smith Brothers Pond fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. For the catfish, fish bottom baits into the deeper holes and let them sit. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Paschal Pond sits 1.3 miles off and takes the overflow. Nothing here settles the position at Smith Brothers Pond for certain.
