Murry Pond near Abbeville: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Murry Pond belongs to Wilcox County, Georgia. It sits at 299 feet above sea level. Small enough that any disturbance crosses the whole surface. On size it sits at the modest end of our Wilcox County list. The closest town, Abbeville, is 6 miles distant. After that come Rochelle at 11 miles and Fitzgerald at 13 miles. A border sits close enough to be relevant to the paperwork.

• Where to Fish on Murry Pond

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Documented catches and surveys in the area cover bluegill, American eel and chain pickerel. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. Fish Murry Pond where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 82°F in July and bottoms out near 48°F in January. Cooler months are the productive ones on most of this water. March through May is the strongest run, with autumn a second stretch. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. Time your trip to Murry Pond by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Long Pond, 1.6 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Treat Murry Pond as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
