Coursey Pond is a reservoir in Delaware, near Kent County.
Coursey Pond is shallow Murderkill River water with spatterdock beds and a small public access beside Canterbury Road. It suits bass and panfish fishing from a small boat, with limited bank fishing around the ramp and bulkhead. The spillway below the pond is a separate piece of river.
Work a weedless worm along spatterdock edges for bass. For panfish, let a tiny jig settle beside a pocket in the leaves rather than pulling it straight across the top. Summer algae can turn the water green, so experiment with a lure that remains visible at short range.
The ramp can serve a range of boat sizes, but the parking lot and turning space are tight. Additional parking is across Canterbury Road below the spillway. Public shoreline fishing is available near the main ramp and bulkhead; downstream bank access does not put you on the pond itself.
The state map shows a maximum depth around four feet. A fish ladder at the dam has seasonal protection around its entrance and exit, so leave it alone during the spring migration period. Keep courtesy-dock space available for launching and retrieving boats.
