Fish and Useful Baits at Curlew Pond

Fish reported from Curlew Pond include banded killifish, banded sunfish, black crappie, bluegill, brown bullhead, chain pickerel, golden shiner, largemouth bass, pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, white perch, and yellow perch.

Bass

Largemouth bass in Curlew Pond can be searched with a spinnerbait before a Texas-rigged worm is worked through the best cover. Rocky points on Curlew Pond suit a grub, tube or compact crankbait when smallmouth are the target.

Crappie, Perch and Sunfish

A soft-plastic minnow or live minnow placed beside cover is a sound crappie approach on Curlew Pond. For sunfish on Curlew Pond, keep a cricket or tiny jig close to weed edges and shaded wood. For Curlew Pond yellow perch, work a light jig slowly along the first firm-bottom break.

Walleye and Larger Predators

Chain pickerel in Curlew Pond can be found with spoons, spinnerbaits and small swimbaits along vegetation.
