Elders Pond is a reservoir in South Carolina, near Richland County.
Elders Pond sits in Richland County and is classified as a reservoir; I would pick one easy-to-read section of bank as the first section and keep fishing it until I see enough in the first adjustment. For the opening part of the day, I would keep working one manageable section of bank until I get a clear read from the first few casts, because moving constantly makes a lake harder to read.
Elders Pond does not have a dependable set of published size and depth measurements, so I would wait until an official lake survey confirms the number before trusting a number and stay around one nearby shoreline stretch until I get a clear read from the nearby water.
Known fish for Elders Pond include Bluegill and Largemouth Bass, so I would build the first part of the day around one primary species at one short shoreline stretch and avoid switching until I get a clear read from the opening stretch. If bass are present in Elders Pond, a spinnerbait plus a Texas-rigged plastic gives a practical combination around one straightforward section of water; I would change it only when I learn something from the first area.
If I were seeing Elders Pond for the first time, I would work one promising section of water with only a few dependable baits and make the simplest change first after I learn something from the first adjustment. If I find a repeatable bite in the first few casts, I would stay around one easy-to-read section of water on Elders Pond and use that clue on the next similar stretch. After I find a repeatable bite in the nearby water, I would leave Elders Pond knowing that one manageable part of the lake deserves another look before I start searching somewhere else.
