Ocheesee Pond

Although they can be a beacon for some of the system’s largest Bluegill, stumps and snags are numerous here and can also pose a hazard for boaters unfamiliar with the pond, so use caution. Try fishing in 3 to 5 ft or deep holes in the main section of the lake with grass shrimp, crickets, wigglers, or various colors of 1/16 to 1/8 oz. beetle spins. Redear Sunfish (shellcracker) can also be found in these areas using worms. Florida Bass fishing should also be fair throughout the fall. Try fishing early morning and late afternoon along weed lines and cypress trees. Best baits include spinner baits, crankbaits, dark plastic worms, or live shiners. Ocheesee Pond also contains some decent sized Black Crappie, which should pick up in late fall.
