I grew up on this pond and fished it every off a John boat. The best spots are 1-left side half way down you’ll see a house through the cleared trees and there is a fallen tree in the middle of a stone wall that wraps around the property line about 20’ off shoreline. I’ve pulled a 7lb, 5lb and numerous over 2 fishing that area especially in pre spawn months. Caught off suspending jerk bait or watermelon lizard/red shad worm. 2-The house that is on the water has a concrete structure along the waterline, I’ve pulled a lot of bass along that area and was always my second go to 3-dock at the very end of pond 4-the cove on the other side of peninsula opposite of where you fish offshore always held some decent fish especially when it’s windy it’s a good spot to hide out and catch some decent fish without getting blown around 5-there is a cluster of big rocks deep in middle off pond more or less across from house with concrete wall, if you can find the spot you can pull some fatty’s

This place is best for stripers and black sea bass!!! All u really have to do is catch some of the many minnows in narrow river and hook em up and throw it in the spit where the ocean meets narrow river. The best tide to use this bait is when the tide is going out because the big fish wait while the minnows get pushed out and u will get atleast 1 bite a cast!!! Amazing spot! Highly recommend!!!
