Fishing Letha Ponds in Anne Arundel County, Maryland

• Overview

  Letha Ponds sits in Anne Arundel County, out in Maryland. Tidal water begins 0.8 miles from here. This is a pocket water of some 3 acres, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. Some 2.9 miles away sits Riviera Beach, the nearest settlement. Then Lake Shore, 3 miles, and Green Haven, 4.7 miles. A county boundary sits nearby, which can matter for local access rules.

• Where to Fish on Letha Ponds

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. This is tidal water: the state of the tide decides where fish sit, so plan the session around it. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Records held for Anne Arundel County cover striped bass, common carp, blue catfish and white perch. On Letha Ponds the obvious spot is not always the productive one.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 77°F at the top of summer and 34°F at the bottom of winter. Neither winter nor summer shuts things down for long. Cover comes and goes, so treat it with suspicion rather than trust. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to fish here. The season on Letha Ponds rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. A marina is mapped about 170 yards away. A pier or jetty stands half a mile away, which helps on a crowded bank. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. The nearest alternative is Boyd Pond, 0.6 miles out. The position on Letha Ponds is worth confirming on the day.
