MartinTheFisherman Posted May 28, 2019 Posted May 28, 2019 (edited) I had the best day of fishing I have had since last year. Went out for around 2 hours, caught around 40-ish bluegills, 10 pumpkin seed, 13 black crappies, an 24" pickerel, and two bass, one 8" the other at least a pound. (catch & release) Not a good day of fishing for most people, but a great day for me since the fishing here has been really tough. Caught all the sunfish with a 1/32oz trout magnet. The pumpkin seed were all at least 10", caught the pickerel on a small 1/8oz jig head with a 2" BPS speed shad. I caught them all at a new pond which is now my favorite, Mill Pond in Nashua, NH.

Their original native range was southern Canada to North Carolina, west to Iowa. They've been introduced as far west as Washington and Oregon and some southern states as well as Europe In Europe, they're considered an 'invasive species'...much like Asian Carp here. 1 Quote
