Harold Parker Trip
went to harold parker, fished field pond, had some bites caught about 4 fish between 1/2 pound to 1 pound nothing to write home about as far a size but encouraging nontheless. Certainly worth the trip as far as im concerned.
So much fishing pressure there, been like that for DECADES. Brought the kids there earlier this year, it was more interesting catching the little frogs. Even when I was younger I never caught anything big there. If you go just 1 mile down Rt. 125, through the woods, Fosters Pond will provide you with some big fish. Or, go further North up Rt. 125 and hit Lake Cochichewick. Both have great fish.
oh yeah ive fished brackett a few times havent had much luck but again ive heard of some good size fish in that pond
I was talking about Spot pond being open to boats. You can only rent one of their boats. I fished fields with my cartopper a lot when I first got it. That place sucks
Haha, it very well could have been 2.5 lbs. I always feel like there's big fish in there, but I personally have never seen one.
It's a hugely popular place to fish, so there has to be something of size to keep people going back there.
I've had better luck (still nothing over 2) at Brackett across the street. Not the small pond directly across from field, but if you walk through the woods it opens up, and it's usually a lot less crowded.
Yeah maybe I'm kidding myself with that 2.5 lb bass....when in doubt exaggerate right haha
Field is full of clones, I've never caught anything that is over 1.5Lbs there. I always end up there a bunch of times at the beginning of each season hoping for a change, but it never has. I have heard rumors of larger fish, but I'm pretty skeptical.
Shawn, they do allow boats on field pond. Just no gas motors. I see cartopppers/kayaks/canoes in there all the time when I drive by.
yeah i went to spot pond today and caught three bass same size as harold parker, it was three more than i thought id get
harold parker gotta love all the timber in there....but like your trip never caught anything of size.
Good luck. I've only fooled around there by throwing my MS Slammer when I first got it but from what I hear it's a tough place to fish that holds some beasts. I wish they'd make it open to boats
yeah i agree there isnt anything bigger than that in there, im trying spot pond for a third time tomorrow
