Coopers Pond in Bergenfield Tips/Report 5/21/19

[BergenBassin]

Headed over to the Coopers Park Pond in Bergenfield off of Church Street, Very nice little park.

I arrived at the bank near the little creek bridge and saw a bunch of Spawning Bass and A family of Carp, I tried throwing a Football head jig black/blue fleck for a bit, no hits but the fish were definitely there and Bass were chasing sunfish but didn't seemed interested in anything, also tried a senko watermelon with red flake and only got a hit near the big fountain.

Does anyone have and tips on how to catch the bass in here? Maybe some different lures to use etc?

Go at sunset or after dark and throw a topwater. We have been getting a few at night while walleye fishing.

They stocked it a few years ago with bass, minnows and sunfish, but the place is still overrun with carp still. Try go to ng this time of year and you'll always see a few bass chasing sunfish and spawning near the little generator between the bushed
