Weldon Pond Fishing in Lamar County, Georgia

• Overview

  Lamar County in Georgia is where Weldon Pond sits. What surrounds it is open plain. About 11 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. Barnesville lies 7 miles from the water. After that come East Griffin at 7.1 miles and Griffin at 8.5 miles. Being near a boundary, it pays to know which side you are fishing. The road to Barnesville runs north.

• Where to Fish on Weldon Pond

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Biodiversity records within roughly six miles include bluegill, largemouth bass and redbreast sunfish. It reflects what has been logged, which depends on who was looking. Weldon Pond gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 79°F at the top of summer and 44°F at the bottom of winter. The year never really closes; it just gets uncomfortable in summer. October and November give a second good stretch as it cools. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. It holds true on Weldon Pond more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. If the gate is shut, Weldon Lake at 1 mile is the nearest alternative. Ask locally about Weldon Pond if anything is unclear.
