Fishing Kicklighters Pond in Long County, Georgia

• Overview

  The Long County end of Georgia holds Kicklighters Pond. Beyond the shoreline you have open low country. At 17 acres it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. It lies lower than most water we list in Georgia. Nearest town is Glennville, 4.5 miles off. Ludowici is 16 miles away, with Reidsville at 18 miles. A county line runs close by, so local bylaws can differ within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Kicklighters Pond

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Biodiversity records within roughly six miles include warmouth, blackbanded darter, chain pickerel and dollar sunfish. It is a record of sightings and surveys, so use it as a guide. Kicklighters Pond repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 82°F and January at 49°F. Year-round warmth means year-round fishing, with early starts in summer. The first and last hours carry the summer; the middle is slow. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. The season on Kicklighters Pond follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. Mapping records no facilities at all near this water. A wire trace and a big bright lure handle the pike; deep water asks for a heavier spoon. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. If the gate is shut, Maggies Lake at 3.2 miles is the nearest alternative. Confirm access to Kicklighters Pond locally before you travel.
