Herrin Pond Fishing in Ware County, Georgia

• Overview

  Herrin Pond lies in Ware County, Georgia. The bank is 164 feet above sea level. At roughly 12 acres, the whole thing is within casting reach of a single walk. It lies lower than most water we list in Georgia. Waycross lies 2.2 miles from the water. Sunnyside is 2.3 miles and Deenwood 3.7 miles. Being near a boundary, it pays to know which side you are fishing.

• Where to Fish on Herrin Pond

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Records collected within a few miles name bluegill, largemouth bass and redbreast sunfish. Records show what people reported, so treat the list as a guide to what lives in the area. Herrin Pond repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 51°F in January and 82°F in July. Fish feed through every month here. The first and last hours carry the summer; the middle is slow. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. Plan around that when you fish Herrin Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. There are toilets mapped about 0.9 miles away. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Monroe Pond sits 1.4 miles off and takes the overflow. Confirm before you fish Herrin Pond.
