Moores Pond

Anglers looking at Richland County will find Moores Pond, a reservoir; I would give one sheltered part of the lake a fair chance and resist moving until I learn something from the first area. A first trip should leave me with something specific, so I would stay around one straightforward part of the lake until I learn something from the first adjustment.

Moores Pond Size, Maximum Depth and Volume

Reliable acreage, maximum depth, and storage figures are hard to verify for Moores Pond, so I would leave those numbers open until an official reservoir report documents the value and fish one promising part of the lake until I find a repeatable bite in the first few casts.

Fish Species and Best Baits

The fish community recorded at Moores Pond includes Bluegill and Largemouth Bass, which makes a single target fish a practical way to start around one easy-to-read starting zone until I find a repeatable bite in the nearby water. For bass on Moores Pond, I would use one moving bait and one bottom-contact bait around one manageable starting zone, changing only when I find a repeatable bite in the first hour.

A Practical Moores Pond Game Plan

My first plan for Moores Pond would be to fish one nearby area near the launch deliberately and change one part of the plan before the rest only after I see a pattern develop in the first setup. When I see a pattern develop in the first adjustment, I would stay around one short area near the launch on Moores Pond and build the rest of the trip around that pattern. If I get a useful answer from the first few casts, I would count that as a successful first visit and come back to Moores Pond with one sheltered piece of water already on the short list.
