Tubmill Pond near Milford: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  This water sits in Kent County, Delaware. Salt water lies 6.4 miles off. Small at around 10 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it. It is a small entry by Kent County standards. Milford sits 2.1 miles from the bank. Then Riverview, 7.3 miles, and Harrington, 8.1 miles. The boundary is near enough that local access rules are worth double-checking.

• Where to Fish on Tubmill Pond

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Public occurrence data for Kent County names white perch, American eel, common carp, bluegill and tessellated darter. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. On Tubmill Pond the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 34°F in January and 77°F in July. Temperature moves within a narrow band, and so does the fishing. It is not guaranteed even in a cold spell, so check yourself. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. Plan around that when you fish Tubmill Pond. Warm rain lifts activity; cold rain flattens it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. There is somewhere to leave the car, half a mile off. Catfish want bait on the bottom: cut bait or worms, a simple running rig, and patience after dark. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. For a change of water, Silver Lake is 2.2 miles distant. For Tubmill Pond in particular, ask before you travel.
