Mills Pond

Mills Pond is one of the named reservoir waters in Horry County, so I would begin around one promising section of water and avoid a long move until I learn something from the first area. I would rather understand one section well than skim five, so I would stay around one easy-to-read part of the lake until I learn something from the first adjustment.

Mills Pond Size, Maximum Depth and Volume

Published physical measurements are limited for Mills Pond, so I would avoid borrowing numbers from another lake until an official reservoir report documents the value and fish one manageable part of the lake until I find a repeatable bite in the first few casts.

Fish Species and Best Baits

Fish recorded for Mills Pond include Bluegill and Largemouth Bass, so I would make one clear target the opening focus around one nearby part of the lake and stay with it until I find a repeatable bite in the nearby water. For largemouths at Mills Pond, I would start with a search bait around one short starting zone and move to a jig or Texas rig when I find a repeatable bite in the opening stretch.

A Practical Mills Pond Game Plan

On Mills Pond, I would begin around one sheltered starting zone with one clear target and fix the first weak link in the approach only after I see a pattern develop in the first area. The moment I see a pattern develop in the first adjustment, I would stay with one straightforward area near the launch on Mills Pond before making the next move. When I get a useful answer from the first few casts, I would treat one promising area near the launch as the first useful reference point for my next visit to Mills Pond.
