Two good ponds to fish at here, one on the main driveway offers multiple cutouts in the brush and the other pond is surrounded by a fish able trail. Lots of fun and very productive in early summer when crappie move inshore to spawn, a flashy spinner always seems to do the trick. I’ve also caught big bass on creature baits and worms right from the back. #fishbrain challenge
If you catch a pickerel, kill it immediately. DO NOT RELEASE. Please don’t keep Bass, this place used to have 6, 7 pounders on the regular. Due to predators such as pickerel and morons eating Bass, it has seen a decline in fish size over the course of the last decade. Been fishing here for over 15 years. There are old timers who have been doing it longer. Treat it with the respect it deserves.
