Kellys Pond

In Georgetown County, Kellys Pond is listed as a lake; my opening stop would be one sheltered part of the lake, and I would stay with it until I get a clear read from the nearby water. The first trip does not have to solve everything, so I would keep fishing one straightforward starting zone until I get a clear read from the first hour before I add more distance or tackle.

Kellys Pond Size, Maximum Depth and Volume

Exact size and depth measurements are sparse for Kellys Pond, so I would leave the figures unstated until a reliable lake-specific record provides the figure and use one promising starting zone until I learn something from the first setup.

Fish Species and Best Baits

The available fish information for Kellys Pond includes Bluegill and Largemouth Bass, so my opening plan would use one first-choice species around one easy-to-read area near the launch and hold there until I learn something from the opening stretch. A compact spinnerbait, crankbait, and Texas-rigged plastic cover the basic bass approaches around one manageable area near the launch on Kellys Pond; I would stay with them until I find a repeatable bite in the first area.

A Practical Kellys Pond Game Plan

For a first trip to Kellys Pond, I would fish one nearby area near the launch long enough to judge the plan, then change one part of the plan before the rest after I find a repeatable bite in the first adjustment. After I find a repeatable bite in the first hour, I would give one short piece of water more time on Kellys Pond instead of immediately looking elsewhere. Once I see a pattern develop in the first setup, I would remember what worked around one sheltered piece of water and begin the next trip to Kellys Pond with that same clue.
