Log Town Pond near Kirbyville: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Newton County, Texas, is where Log Town Pond sits. The water sits 98 feet up. At 9 acres it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. Kirbyville sits 7.1 miles from here and is the nearest stop. The nearest city of size is Beaumont, 47 miles away. The boundary is near enough that local access rules are worth double-checking.

• Where to Fish on Log Town Pond

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Records collected within a few miles name dusky darter, bluntnose darter, bluegill and freckled madtom. Take it as evidence of what swims here, not a promise for one session. Fish Log Town Pond where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about 48°F and July at about 82°F, the water has a wide range to work through. The calendar barely matters here; the time of day does. Shade and hour of day matter more than month. Late winter often fishes better here than midsummer does. Plan any trip to Log Town Pond around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. The nearest alternative is Walker Lake, 6.3 miles out. Check the current arrangement for Log Town Pond.
