A Simple Fishing Plan for Maria Pond

When you first fish Maria, check one quiet cove, one rocky or firm point and the nearby deep water with a moving lure, then use a jig or worm where you find fish.

When to Fish Maria Pond

Spring on Maria is a good time to check warm coves and incoming water, and summer is a good time to fish shade, weeds and the first drop into deeper water. Fall on Maria can bring fish back to windy points and banks, while winter calls for smaller baits fished slowly.
