Fishing Hodges Pond in Washington County, Georgia

• Overview

  Hodges Pond falls in Washington County, part of Georgia. It sits at 331 feet above sea level. This is a pocket water of some 3 acres, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. It is a small entry by Washington County standards. Tennille is the closest town at 11 miles. Wrightsville is 12 miles and Sandersville 14 miles. The boundary is near enough that local access rules are worth double-checking.

• Where to Fish on Hodges Pond

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Hodges Pond gives up more to patience than to distance. Watch for the line where weed gives way to clean bottom.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 81°F at the top of summer and 46°F at the bottom of winter. Cold never closes this one. October and November give a second good stretch as it cools. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. Expect Hodges Pond to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. Mapping shows no built access close by; expect to walk in from wherever you can leave the car. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Herds Pond sits 1.7 miles off and takes the overflow. None of that is settled for Hodges Pond in what we hold.
