Brimfield Ponds

 Has anyone fished Brimfield?  Jsut moved here from Chicago and am looking for a place to fish as soon as the wheather cooperates.

I fished the brimfield res, "long pond".  You should do well there for bass, pickeral... there are pike but I have never caught any... supposidly the state record "was" held there for a while.  I do better on the part without the public beach.  Otherside of the road (route 20).

Thanks for the info,  I was beginning to think that no one fished on that lake.  I will make a trip out with my four year old son as soon as the ice is safe and post my results from the outing.  He is begging to go ice fishing.

If you go off the boat ramp, to the right, through the area where it looks like an old railroad track was.  Keep to the left and there will be a point just before a cove.  There are a few logs/timber under the water and plenty of drops.  You will find a lot of pickeral action and some nice bass there.  I have not caught anything large there through the ice but plenty of action.  You might want to stay away from the cove, I have tried it through the ice and never had a flag but 50-75' away (before the cove) is better.  I catch bigger bass out of there in the summer.
