Hard light and clear air over the water, with almost no wind to speak of and pressure easing off. Expect most activity at Sycamore Pond around the warm end of the pond. The productive run goes night into morning. Start on the obvious water and expand from there. Autumn fish are feeding up and less fussy than in summer.

Sycamore Pond sits within Chesterfield County in South Carolina. It stands 453 feet above sea level. Surface area runs to about 13 acres — small enough to read in one session. Start from Pageland, 12 miles down the road. The big place round here is Charlotte, 52 miles distant. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.
Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Reported across Chesterfield County: bluegill, sawcheek darter and dollar sunfish. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. Fish Sycamore Pond where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.
In an average year July sits at 80°F and January at 42°F. Cold never closes this one. October and November give a second good stretch as it cools. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to fish here. At Sycamore Pond the season follows that pattern closely. Wind on the bank for a day or two lifts the fishing there.
Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Pool K at 2.5 miles is the sensible second choice. Nothing on Sycamore Pond should be assumed from this page alone.
