Dixon Pond, South Carolina: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Within Calhoun County, South Carolina, you have Dixon Pond. It lies 210 feet above sea level. About 8 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. Gaston lies 3.5 miles from the water. For a city, Columbia is 11 miles off. Being near a boundary, it pays to know which side you are fishing. The near end sees the visitors; the far end rarely does.

• Where to Fish on Dixon Pond

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Nearby survey and observation records mention bluegill, dollar sunfish, tadpole madtom, swamp darter and yellow perch. It is a record of sightings and surveys, so use it as a guide. The shape of Dixon Pond decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 81°F, the coldest about 44°F. Winter is the comfortable season here rather than the difficult one. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer squeezes it into the edges of the day. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to fish here. That shapes the year on Dixon Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. For the panfish, a small hook, a float and a piece of worm outfish everything fancy. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Lexington Acres Pond, 0.6 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Confirm before you fish Dixon Pond.
