Still Pond, Florida: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Still Pond is one of the Alachua County listings for Florida. It stands 75 feet above sea level. At 9 acres it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. It is a small entry by Alachua County standards. For a base, Citra sits 5.8 miles out. After that come Hawthorne at 7 miles and Interlachen at 14 miles. The boundary is near enough that local access rules are worth double-checking.

• Where to Fish on Still Pond

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Fish reported in the area, according to open records, include bluegill, redear sunfish, warmouth, black crappie and largemouth bass. That is what has been logged nearby, not a stocking list, so check local rules before you plan around any one species. Fish Still Pond to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about 55°F and July at about 81°F, the water has a wide range to work through. Warmth runs the whole year, so timing is about the hour, not the month. Late winter and spring fish steadiest here. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. The season on Still Pond follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. If the gate is shut, Dean Pond at 1.2 miles is the nearest alternative. None of that is settled for Still Pond in what we hold.
