Fishing at Daniels Pond, Emanuel County, Georgia

• Overview

  Daniels Pond belongs to Emanuel County, Georgia. Everything around it is open plain. At 18 acres it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. Swainsboro sits 2.1 miles from here and is the nearest stop. After that come Twin City at 8.8 miles and Wadley at 19 miles. Water in the same corner: Lake Caroline 0.6 miles, Lake Terresa within 0.6 miles, Lake Luck 0.6 miles, Gradys Lake within 0.7 miles and Hazel Lake 0.8 miles. This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Daniels Pond

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. Public wildlife records from this area list flier and mud sunfish. Local agencies hold the definitive list for this water. On Daniels Pond the obvious spot is not always the productive one.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs 47°F to 81°F. Temperatures stay workable through the cold season. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to be out. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. That is the shape of the year on Daniels Pond. Wind direction matters more than wind strength.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. The nearest mapped parking is 0.9 miles away, so the last stretch is on foot. Bluegill and other panfish take small jigs or worms under a float near any cover. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. If the gate is shut, Lake Caroline at 0.6 miles is the nearest alternative. Confirm access to Daniels Pond locally before you travel.
