Goose Pond

[merk42]

Anyone fish Goose Pond? White Perch in there? They draw the water level down for winter, not sure why!. Is that good for fishing or bad?

[Chefmike64]

Yeah I've caught some nice white perh there near the boat ramp area. Good bass in there too. State record small mouth came from there a while back

[merk42]

thru the ice?

[Chefmike64]

I've only iced fished there once. Had a couple of bass and couple yellow perch. Caught them from a boat on more than one occasion.

Goose pond is a large watershed they drain it down for spring runoffs. As far as ice fishing get the occasional white threw the ice lots of yellows some bass and pickerel. They are there I personally have not got into them  in winter summer different story

[bassin212]

any size to the white's in there? Seems like smelt lakes typically produce better quality white fish

[Chefmike64]

In the summer I've had up to 12"

[bassin212]

thats pretty good! Maybe one day i'll drill lots of holes and search for them through the ice.

Little goose is awesome for whites. I've caught tons of them there just usually under 10"

[Chefmike64]

If you really want nice size white perch try upper Baker pond on rt 25a in orford. Couple years back I pulled a 14" fatty out of there

Just curious did you fish near the boat ramp or the bottom section near the dam part
