Black Pond

[trophytrout89]

Has anyone ever fished at Black Pond in Meriden/Middlefield? If so has any particular lure worked best for you. I've gone twice this weekend and only caught 2 very small largemouths. I tried almost everything. I don't know if the weather or the time of year has anything to do with my troubles but if anyone has any suggestions it would well be appreciated. Thanks

I've fished it many times for trout useing live bait. [ minnows] It's a tough place to bass fish from shore, but I never did fish it for bass. Theres cat fish in there as well, so keep a line on the bottom for those boys. Sorry can't offer any favorite bait for that pond for bass.

Thanks. I've never used minnows as live bait before. I assume you just rig them under a bobber? I fish Salmon River a lot for trout. Meal worms and garden worms work great for me over there. I do want to give the minnows a try though. I'm sure bass and pickerel will hit a minnow as well. I've only caught a few pickerel this year and I'm determined to get one more before it gets too cold lol.

I've caught alot of pickerel there through the ice. Theres a drop off about 30-40ft from the boat launch. Always had luck there.
