Fishing Foxs Pond in Ottawa County, Ohio

• Overview

  Look for Foxs Pond in the Ottawa County part of Ohio. The surface lies 564 feet up. It covers about 18 acres, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. Ground here is low by Ohio standards. Some 15 miles away sits Port Clinton, the nearest settlement. Then Sandusky, 19 miles, and Colchester, 20 miles. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Foxs Pond

  We hold no depth figure for this one. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Open biodiversity records for Ottawa County list yellow perch, freshwater drum and white bass. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. At Foxs Pond light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 73°F in July and bottoms out near 25°F in January. A long season, with weather mattering more than the month. It should never be assumed safe, whatever the month says. November and March are the quiet, comfortable months to be out. Expect Foxs Pond to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. Parking is not close: half a mile from the bank, and no nearer option is mapped. A pier or jetty stands half a mile away, which helps on a crowded bank. There is a toilet block some half a mile out. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. If the gate is shut, Hauncks Pond at 1.9 miles is the nearest alternative. Nothing on Foxs Pond should be assumed from this page alone.
