Beeks Bight Pond

This pond has the biggest population of stunted bluegill I have ever seen. You can literally catch a fish every cast for hours on end and not one of them will be bigger than 5 inches. There are some good bass in here, however. It takes about 15 minutes to hike to this pond. Follow the path shown in the pictures below.
