Trunell Pond Fishing in Bleckley County, Georgia

• Overview

  Trunell Pond belongs to Bleckley County, Georgia. It sits at 358 feet above sea level. A pocket of water where every cast reaches cover. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Bleckley County. For a base, Cochran sits 3.4 miles out. After that come Hawkinsville at 8.4 miles and Chester at 15 miles. The county line runs close by, so rules can change within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Trunell Pond

  No chart reached our records; the first cast is your sounding. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Documented catches and surveys in the area cover blackbanded darter, christmas darter, dollar sunfish, green sunfish and redbreast sunfish. Presence in the area does not guarantee a fish on the day. Take Trunell Pond a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 81°F, the coldest about 47°F. Temperatures stay workable through the cold season. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to be out. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Trunell Pond. Rain lifts the level and moves fish about.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. Catfish want bait on the bottom: cut bait or worms, a simple running rig, and patience after dark. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Smith Lake at 2.4 miles is the sensible second choice. The position on Trunell Pond is worth confirming on the day.
