McGee Pond

In Anderson County, McGee Pond is listed as a reservoir; my opening stop would be one short piece of water, and I would stay with it until I learn something from the first few casts. The first trip does not have to solve everything, so I would keep fishing one sheltered section of bank until I learn something from the nearby water before I add more distance or tackle.

McGee Pond Size, Maximum Depth and Volume

Exact size and depth measurements are sparse for McGee Pond, so I would leave the figures unstated until a dependable agency source confirms the number and use one straightforward section of bank until I learn something from the first hour.

Fish Species and Best Baits

The available fish information for McGee Pond includes Bluegill and Largemouth Bass, so my opening plan would use one primary species around one promising shoreline stretch and hold there until I find a repeatable bite in the first setup. A compact spinnerbait, crankbait, and Texas-rigged plastic cover the basic bass approaches around one easy-to-read shoreline stretch on McGee Pond; I would stay with them until I find a repeatable bite in the opening stretch.

A Practical McGee Pond Game Plan

For a first trip to McGee Pond, I would fish one manageable shoreline stretch long enough to judge the plan, then change one variable at a time after I see a pattern develop in the first area. After I see a pattern develop in the nearby water, I would give one short section of water more time on McGee Pond instead of immediately looking elsewhere. Once I see a pattern develop in the first hour, I would remember what worked around one sheltered section of water and begin the next trip to McGee Pond with that same clue.
