Boatwright Pond

Boatwright Pond is a reservoir in Danville (city) County, and on a first trip I would start around one short piece of water and stay there until I see enough in the first setup. I would keep the opening plan simple around one nearby section of bank and leave it alone until I find a repeatable bite in the first area.

Boatwright Pond Size, Maximum Depth and Volume

A dependable standalone set of acreage, depth, and volume figures is not readily available for Boatwright Pond, so I would not guess at them until an official reservoir report documents the value and would work one manageable section of bank until I get a useful answer from the first area.

Fish Species and Best Baits

For anglers, the useful species information for Boatwright Pond includes Bluegill and Largemouth Bass, so I would start with the species I most want around one easy-to-read shoreline stretch and let it run until I see enough in the first few casts. Bass anglers on Boatwright Pond can start with a shallow crankbait or spinnerbait around one promising shoreline stretch, then switch to a worm or jig when I learn something from the first few casts.

A Practical Boatwright Pond Game Plan

I would approach Boatwright Pond by choosing one promising section of water, one target, and a small tackle selection, then change depth before changing every bait after I find a repeatable bite in the first hour. If I get a useful answer from the first hour, I would stop searching randomly and fish one straightforward section of water properly on Boatwright Pond. If I see enough in the first hour, I would make a note of what happened around one sheltered section of water and use that as the starting point the next time I fish Boatwright Pond.
