Fishing at Pedrick Pond, Leon County, Florida

• Overview

  Pedrick Pond is one of the Leon County listings for Florida. The setting is warm bottomland. The water measures roughly 10 acres, so nothing here is far from anything else. The closest town, Tallahassee, is 6.5 miles away. Woodville follows at 12 miles, then Midway at 16 miles. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Pedrick Pond

  No chart reached our records; the first cast is your sounding. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Fish reported in the area, according to open records, include bluegill, largemouth bass and yellow bullhead. Reported species tell you what lives around here, nothing more. Pedrick Pond gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 51°F in January and 81°F in July. Warmth runs the whole year, so timing is about the hour, not the month. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer squeezes it into the edges of the day. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. On Pedrick Pond that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. You can park half a mile away and walk in from there. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Buck Lake at 1.4 miles is the sensible second choice. For Pedrick Pond in particular, ask before you travel.
