Fishing Ten Acre Pond in Florence County, South Carolina

• Overview

  Look for Ten Acre Pond in the Florence County part of South Carolina. This is oak and grass country. Surface area runs to about 7 acres — small enough to read in one session. By elevation it sits in the lower part of our South Carolina listings. You are 5.4 miles from Pamplico. After that come Marion at 11 miles and Red Hill at 13 miles. A county line runs close by, so local bylaws can differ within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Ten Acre Pond

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Fish reported in the area, according to open records, include white catfish, longnose gar, redear sunfish and shorthead redhorse. Reporting is uneven, so absence from the list means little. On Ten Acre Pond a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about 45°F and July at about 80°F, the water has a wide range to work through. The awkward stretch is midsummer, not midwinter. March through May is the strongest run, with autumn a second stretch. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. On Ten Acre Pond that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. For the catfish, fish bottom baits into the deeper holes and let them sit. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Rye Ridge Pond at 0.9 miles is the sensible second choice. Check the position on Ten Acre Pond before loading the car.
