Wheatmore Pond

In Randolph County, Wheatmore Pond is listed as a reservoir; my opening stop would be one short area near the launch, and I would stay with it until I find a repeatable bite in the first adjustment. The first trip does not have to solve everything, so I would keep fishing one sheltered piece of water until I see a pattern develop in the first few casts before I add more distance or tackle.

Wheatmore Pond Size, Maximum Depth and Volume

Exact size and depth measurements are sparse for Wheatmore Pond, so I would leave the figures unstated until a current management document publishes a figure and use one straightforward piece of water until I see a pattern develop in the nearby water.

Fishing This Water

Species information for Wheatmore Pond is limited, so I would use a small tackle bag with a few soft plastics and live bait around one promising section of bank and wait to specialize until I see a pattern develop in the first hour. I would choose one bait style that fits the target on Wheatmore Pond, work it around one easy-to-read section of bank, and keep it there until I get a useful answer from the first setup.

A Practical Wheatmore Pond Game Plan

For a first trip to Wheatmore Pond, I would fish one manageable section of bank long enough to judge the plan, then change depth before changing every bait after I get a useful answer from the opening stretch. After I get a useful clue from the first area, I would give one nearby shoreline stretch more time on Wheatmore Pond instead of immediately looking elsewhere. Once I get a useful clue from the nearby water, I would remember what worked around one short shoreline stretch and begin the next trip to Wheatmore Pond with that same clue.
