Rock Hole Pond in Baker County: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Rock Hole Pond lies in Baker County, Georgia. It sits in open low country. The water covers some 40 acres, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. Ground here is low by Georgia standards. The town to know is Morgan, 16 miles out. Putney is 16 miles away, with Camilla at 16 miles. The county edge is within a short distance of the bank.

• Where to Fish on Rock Hole Pond

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Fish reported in the area, according to open records, include redbreast sunfish. Records show what people reported, not what is stocked. At Rock Hole Pond light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 81°F in July and bottoms out near 48°F in January. The calendar barely matters here; the time of day does. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer squeezes it into the edges of the day. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. On Rock Hole Pond that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. No slipway, car park or made path shows up nearby in mapping, so treat access as rough. Bluegill and other panfish take small jigs or worms under a float near any cover. A phone call first saves an afternoon. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Should this one be busy, Goat Pond is 0.8 miles off. Treat access at Rock Hole Pond as something to verify.
