Ponds at edisto

What is in the ponds across from edisto watersports? Are they salt water ponds and are they open to the public and what kind of fish or bait could be caught in the ponds? Thanks for any input.

yes they are both, salt/brakish and open
See people their all the time

There are huge redfish in the saltwater ponds that rarely take a bait. Whole bunch of mullet too. The middle pond in Wyndham and is fresh and slam full of LMB that will take a bait, but it better be a weedless presentation. There’s also a surprising amount of Tilapia in there too…

Thanks. Sounds like an interesting option.

No problem. Don’t be discouraged to try the saltwater ponds. I saw some tourist have an epic battle with a stud redfish on a 10 foot bright yellow surf rod for about an hour there one day. It’s possible.

Watch out for that big gater that loves to hang around!

Really? There is a gator hanging around the pond? Im bringing my dad and he loves to fish and thought maybe he could try and fish those ponds, he don’t really care what he catches as long as he is fishing.

There’s one big one that lurks in that freshwater pond. I almost stepped on him fishing one day lying in the weeds. I may have peed a little when he exploded off.

Threw a spook into one of those ponds one time and had a little one come up and grab it. Almost got it in too.

I have caught big mullet in cast net in those ponds but not have much success catching fish with them . Maybe because of chemical runoff from golf course
