Default Re: Spooky Brook Pond

I live real near this pond and have had success there...lots of dinks to weed through.

They do stock this pond with trout (~ 250) and they can be great! Unfortunately, this is a very shallow pond and quickly becomes overgrown with moss and weeds making fishing difficult after May. They do not mow the grass near the pond so also look out for snakes.... I found one last year choking on a bluegill...freed the bluegill and the snake swam away as well.

Two years ago I caught a trout there that had a tag in it's mouth. Part of the "Hook a Winner" program in NJ where ~ 1000 trout are tagged and released all over the state. Who new in spook brook pond!

Unfortunately, this pond is poorly managed and fishing is only possible in early May and very late fall with anything other than a weedless rig due to the weed/moss bloom.

Perhaps they need grass carp?
