Took a trip to Black Pond in Meriden for a day of fishing with my 3 buddies. I had gone here the week before and got nothing off of shiners. This time we brought nightcrawlers, more nightcralwers, and floating minnows. We stopped at a spot where there was a fallen branch and threw our lines in. I got a 10 inch Black Crappie on my first cast off the silver floating minnow. Another one followed on the next cast. Unfortunately, the fish took the lure with him. I then switched to the nightcrawlers as my friends were having luck on them. The best catch of the day was a 23 inch trout. It put up quite a fight. Besides that, a BUNCH of sunfish and a few small LMB as well as some descent sized pickerel. Overall, a good day even though not much size on most of the fish. In total, the 4 of us combined to catch 47 fish, which was awesome. A great place to take your kid for his or her first time fishing.

I hate this place.

The weeds are out of control, there is no isolated structure in the deepest part, the lilys in the back are nice and all, but topwater ain't my bag, and the local drunks love using it as a drinking spot.

That said, I'm sure I'll end up taking my boat there at some point within the month, as I always do.

Can't argue with a 2 foot long trout. Did you catch him off the bottom or the top?

Fishing from shore and the trout was actually off a fairly big Grizz Bait spinner. That was the only fish caught on that lure all day.
