It is a very small pond, so most of the fish are dinks but fun on light tackle. This pond is actually the first place I ever went fishing at, and the first place I caught a fish at. That was a year ago, we returned over the weekend with a year of experience with us. Friday night we fished 8-9:30 at night, I was dunking nightcrawlers and hooked two bass, both were dinks that threw the hook. My dad hooked a bass on a Hula Popper but it threw the hook as well. Our hooksets must not have been very good, I know I lost those 2 fish because I was using my ultralight rod w/ 4 lb test and the rod isnt very stiff so was struggling to get a good hookset. We returned Saturday night and fished from 7:45-9:15. I was dunking nightcrawlers again, I finally got a scrappy 10 inch bass. It was on 4 lb test so it was a fun fish. My dad and brother caught a few bluegills as well. I am not sure if there are any big fish in this pond, I have seen several large carp but I doubt there are any large bass in a pond this small but I really dont know. They are fun fish anyway especially on light tackle. Good luck to everyone else,
