looking for a pond full of shorts in the northeast corner
Message:
Reading reports like Peco’s “Lake Basile” report from this weekend makes me wonder if there’s somewhere like that in the northeast corner of the state. Basically I’m looking for a pond with lots of action from smaller ~1-2 pound bass.
I’m interested for two reasons – first of all it sounds like a lot of fun to catch that many fish in a day! Second, my girlfriend is just learning how to fish (at age 21), but so far she’s been catching nothing but small panfish with little spoons (my gold phoebe is just about the only lure she’ll use). I’d like to get her to catch some bass....but it’s tough to do when bass are generally so few and far between compared to panfish. When she knows she could catch a bluegill or perch every 5 mins, she gets frustrated pretty quickly dragging a senko around for an hour with no action.
Not asking anyone to give away the location of their secret lunker pond… rather, where’s that spot you never go because it’s overpopulated with shorts? All I have is a 10’ “car topper” johnboat, so I don’t even need a real boat launch to put in. Thanks!

Try Morey Pond in Union. Lots of small bass and pickerel.

I took a trip out to crystal pond in eastford after hearing of a 9lber being in there. I figured it might be a lunker-rich pond, and it very well may be, but between my buddy and I , we must have hit close to 40 bass, all around 8". Kinda frustrating when you want to hook somthing descent and as soon as your bait hits the water you have a dinker smacking it every cast. But very fun if thats all your looking for!
We could have hit many more but we kept casting the deeper drop offs trying to find something bigger. I would imagine the place is like that throughout the whole summer. Give it a shot!
