Berlin Turnpike pond????
Message:
Still working 12 hr days. I was on my way to Mickey Finns on the Berlin turnpike to grab a new pair of work boots when I noticed a truck pulled off the road and saw a guy casting his rod in what I always thought of as a highway drainage culvert. When I walked over to the guy, I asked what he was fishing for, no sooner his light action rod bent under the stress of his hookset on what ended up being a cookie cutter bass! There's bass in that little pond! I have a locking hard cover over my pickup bed so I always have my stuff with me, I went to my truck and grabbed two of my rods, a soft jerkbait on one and a hollow frog on the other. In less than 20 minutes of casting I ended up with a total of six Largemouth the heaviest of which weighed 3lb 1 oz. The other 5 were on the big side of average, about 14" in length with healthy girth's. They fought like MMA cage fighters! This little gem was stocked at some point by someone. I've been stopping there after work for about a half hour per night and have landed at least three bass every night for the past 7 days. There's also some large Bluegill in there. There's a lot of frogs and minnows and the water's pretty clear with a little tannic tint to it. You can cast clear across this place so it's quite easy to cover the majority of the pond from shore. The pond is located on the northbound side of the Berlin turnpike right before the bridge by Mickey Finns. Does anyone else have any experience fishing this little oasis?

I live in Berlin and pass that pond frequently. I've thought about what kind of fish it would hold but didn't know if the cops in town would have a problem with me parking near it.

I'd like to know who built this little pond. There is river rock neatly placed on the eastern shoreline. It is obviously a man made pond and pretty well stocked with largemouth and bluegill that I saw and caught.
