Quail Pond in Seminole County: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Quail Pond belongs to Seminole County, Florida. The sea is 31 miles distant. This is a pocket water of some 3 acres, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. Our Seminole County list holds plenty of bigger water. Supplies mean a trip to Casselberry, 0.7 miles off. After that come Fern Park at 1.8 miles and Altamonte Springs at 2 miles. Local rules may differ a few miles either side of here.

• Where to Fish on Quail Pond

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Records collected within a few miles name swamp darter, bluegill and warmouth. It reflects what has been logged, which depends on who was looking. Read Quail Pond for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 82°F and January at 59°F. Warm water year-round keeps fish moving through every month. Late winter and spring fish steadiest here. Spring and autumn carry the year; summer squeezes it into the ends of the day. Plan around that when you fish Quail Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. A slipway half a mile out gives trailer access. Parking is mapped about half a mile from the bank. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Lake Concord sits 0.2 miles off and takes the overflow. Where Quail Pond is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
