Re: Fishing for crappies and bass at spooky brook
a Great idea under normal conditions...this pond reaches nearly complete coverage of weeds by mid summer and nearly NO access due to the fact that the edges of this pond are not maintained and reach 3-5 ft weed growth by june nearly around the pond. Watch out for the snakes that thrive in the matted weed growth. Unfortunately Somerset Co. has dropped the ball on the management of this previously well attended pond. I have tried to get them to do something about this including stopping trout stocking-nearly none of these stocked trout are caught-all the stocked trout are dead by mid June due to weed growth, lack of O2, or ability to swim. The average depth is < 8 ft in the very deepest so weed growth is cannot be controlled due to the lack of wate flow. Go somewhere else and fish after May!
