POND HISTORY AND DEMOGRAPHICS: A lot of people ask “where” to catch certain fish in the pond so I’m going to give you loyal followers the secrets! The south side of the pond (closest to the road) is the original part of the pond which was established from 2 natural springs sometime over 60 years ago. This is the deepest and coolest part of the pond where the bass love to hang out and where all the biggest bass have been caught. The north side of the pond (closest to the house) was part of the pond expansion which happened around the year 1999-2000 by the Starnes family. This part is not as deep (8-10 feet) and stays warmer so the smaller fish like the brim, sunfish and crappie like to hang out. It’s pretty much a guarantee that if you fish from the gazebo or the island you will catch something! We have about 3000 sunfish, 2000 crappy and 400 bass in our 2-acre pond.
Hope to see you soon and happy fishing!
