Smiths Millpond is a reservoir in South Carolina, near Lexington County.
In Lexington County, Smiths Millpond is listed as a reservoir; my opening stop would be one sheltered section of bank, and I would stay with it until I find a repeatable bite in the first few casts. The first trip does not have to solve everything, so I would keep fishing one straightforward shoreline stretch until I find a repeatable bite in the nearby water before I add more distance or tackle.
Exact size and depth measurements are sparse for Smiths Millpond, so I would leave the figures unstated until an official lake survey confirms the number and use one promising shoreline stretch until I find a repeatable bite in the first hour.
The available fish information for Smiths Millpond includes Bluegill and Largemouth Bass, so my opening plan would use the species I most want around one manageable section of water and hold there until I see a pattern develop in the first setup. A compact spinnerbait, crankbait, and Texas-rigged plastic cover the basic bass approaches around one nearby section of water on Smiths Millpond; I would stay with them until I see a pattern develop in the opening stretch.
For a first trip to Smiths Millpond, I would fish one short section of water long enough to judge the plan, then make the simplest change first after I get a useful answer from the first few casts. After I get a useful answer from the nearby water, I would give one sheltered part of the lake more time on Smiths Millpond instead of immediately looking elsewhere. Once I get a useful answer from the first hour, I would remember what worked around one straightforward part of the lake and begin the next trip to Smiths Millpond with that same clue.
