Durrence Pond, Georgia: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Durrence Pond sits within Tattnall County in Georgia. The country round it is scrub and brush from end to end. About 8 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. Most waters listed here for Tattnall County are larger. For supplies, Glennville is 7 miles out. The big place round here is Savannah, 47 miles distant. A county line runs close by, so local bylaws can differ within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Durrence Pond

  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Open occurrence data for the surrounding area lists largemouth bass, speckled madtom, swamp darter and sailfin shiner. Check the state or provincial list before planning around one species. On Durrence Pond a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs 49°F to 82°F. Heat, not cold, decides when to be on the water. Shade and hour of day matter more than month. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. Durrence Pond fishes to that pattern most years. The first warm week of the year changes everything here.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Failing this one, try Stricklands Pond, 5 miles away. The position on Durrence Pond is worth confirming on the day.
