Lexington Acres Pond near Gaston: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Look for Lexington Acres Pond in Lexington County, South Carolina. This is open plain ground. At about 57 acres, a day is enough to walk the shoreline properly.

Pineridge is 5.5 miles away, with South Congaree at 6.6 miles. The line between counties passes nearby, which can change who manages the water.

• Where to Fish on Lexington Acres Pond

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Public wildlife records from this area list dollar sunfish, margined madtom and tadpole madtom. That is what has been logged nearby, not a stocking list, so check local rules before you plan around any one species. Fish Lexington Acres Pond where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 81°F and January at 44°F. Heat sets the pattern from late spring onward. The first and last hours carry the summer; the middle is slow. Spring and autumn carry the year; summer squeezes it into the ends of the day. Expect Lexington Acres Pond to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. There is no mapped parking or launch nearby, which keeps numbers down. For the catfish, fish bottom baits into the deeper holes and let them sit. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Dixon Pond sits 0.6 miles off and takes the overflow. Treat access at Lexington Acres Pond as something to verify.
