you're not going to get GPS locations to a good shiner pond on a public forumhere's how to do it...you want a tiny pond (not a giant lake or reservoir). the less predator fish, the better. low flow (or no flow).so, think fire ponds, beaver ponds, small ponds nearby rivers or lakes or larger ponds that only flood in high water - that sort of stuff.....not a hard flowing stream, not a big lake.if you look at google maps, i guarantee that there are a couple possibilities near you. they can be very small ponds - as long as they don't dry up completely in summer (so no vernal pools).next you need a trap w/ camo paracord (not bright white rope). (for some reason, ppl like to mess w/ traps - either other trappers, kids or ppl against trapping). set the trap right before dusk to the left or right of easy access, then pick it up early in the morning before the yahoos wake up.try 3 spots like I mentioned above....1 of them should be good. next year, go to the good spot 1st. sort thru the bait & keep only what you need. if it dries up or gets over-trapped, have to find another spot.that's it! good luck!
Anyone know a good shiner pond in Berkshire county, have had luck netting perch at plunkett reservoir.Trying to stock up and save a few bucks this season.
If you go a mile down the road from where you were the other day near a cement block and a gnarly overhanging tree they are around there
