Brays Mill Pond Fishing in Schley County, Georgia

• Overview

  Brays Mill Pond sits in Schley County, out in Georgia. It sits at 397 feet above sea level. About 9 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. Ellaville lies 6.5 miles from the water. Then Oglethorpe, 11 miles, and Montezuma, 13 miles. A border sits close enough to be relevant to the paperwork. One side gets the morning sun and the other the evening.

• Where to Fish on Brays Mill Pond

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Records collected within a few miles name blackbanded darter, brown darter and bluegill. Records come from public data, not from a stocking programme. On Brays Mill Pond the obvious spot is not always the productive one.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is 46°F to 80°F. Warm months push fish deep; cool months bring them back. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to be out. Late winter often fishes better here than midsummer does. It holds true on Brays Mill Pond more years than not. A rising level after rain switches things on for a day or two.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. If the gate is shut, Lanceford Lake at 2 miles is the nearest alternative. None of that is settled for Brays Mill Pond in what we hold.
