Pin fish leaders forum south pond

[KillerFish]

Pin fish leaders, couple cool ones:

8.5 lb brown from south pond
45” pike from south pond

I guess despite the fact that I am 0 for 5 there, it is well worth another chance next season!

(I have had some success trolling there...)

I just took a look, there are a lot of current leaders from the Brookfields

I live few minutes from south and quaboag and I did not touch either this year. Too busy in the berks

big browns get stocked there first week of hunting season every year, I have seen a 12lb brown taken from there on the point

My buddy caught a pin crappie there 2 weeks ago 14" 1lb 11oz.

I’ve heard that they put many broodstock in there - They also get fat on alewives - the lake has outstanding growth rates, that’s why it’s the only designated brown trout water (though Ill never understand how Onota and Wachusett among others never got designated)

I’m way more surprised by the pike - was always skeptical that the state record came from there - but it’s clear big pike are in there

Onota has a better shot at a bigger brown. 5lb browns are almost common out of onota but you have a better shot at a double digit brown out of south but far slower fishing. Biggest for me out of south is a hair under 8lbs but I have spent a lot of time trolling there deep with shiners.
