• Overview

  Griffin Pond is set in Hardin County, Texas. It sits at 112 feet above sea level. This is a pocket water of some 13 acres, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. It is among the larger waters listed here for Hardin County. Nearest town is Wildwood, 14 miles off. Beaumont is the closest city, 34 miles away. It sits near the edge of the county, so check which rules apply.

• Where to Fish on Griffin Pond

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Fish reported in the area, according to open records, include redfin pickerel, black bullhead and bluegill. Records come from public data, not from a stocking programme. Griffin Pond gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is 49°F to 82°F. Fish feed through every month here. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer squeezes it into the edges of the day. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. Plan any trip to Griffin Pond around it. Water temperature lags behind air temperature by days, not hours.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. Public mapping marks it as seasonal water rather than permanent. Access is unmapped, which usually means a farm track and a walk. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Jack Williams Lake sits 12 miles off and takes the overflow. Treat Griffin Pond as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
