Carroll Pond

Carroll Pond is one of the named lake waters in St. Mary's County. I would begin around one easy-to-read piece of water and avoid a long move until the first adjustment shows a depth preference.

Carroll Pond Size, Maximum Depth and Volume

Published figures put Carroll Pond at about 18.3 surface acres, and I would use one nearby piece of water to judge the next move. I would use those numbers to judge the scale of the trip while the first few casts shows me what to change next.

Fish Species and Best Baits

For anglers, the useful species information includes Bluegill and Largemouth Bass, while I use one short starting zone as the next comparison point. For bass, I would cover one easy-to-read piece of water with a spinnerbait or crankbait, then slow down with a jig or soft plastic.

A Practical Carroll Pond Game Plan

If I were seeing Carroll Pond for the first time, I would work one sheltered section of water with a few dependable baits and change the plan after the opening section shows me what to change next. Once the first hour starts producing bites, I would make a note of what happened around one easy-to-read area near the launch before moving.
