Fish and Useful Baits at Gordon Pond

Fish reported from Gordon Pond include black crappie, bluegill, chain pickerel, channel catfish, largemouth bass, and yellow perch.

Bass

When largemouth bass hold tight to cover on Gordon Pond, a compact jig or weedless worm is more useful than repeated open-water casts.

Crappie, Perch and Sunfish

Crappie at Gordon Pond respond to a small jig or live minnow beside brush and suspended cover. Use a tiny jig or natural bait under a float when fishing Gordon Pond for bluegill and related sunfish. A small minnow or worm on a light rig fits yellow perch fishing at Gordon Pond.

Chain Pickerel

For Gordon Pond pickerel, cover weed edges with a flashy moving lure and use a short leader when bite-offs become common.

A Simple Fishing Plan for Gordon Pond

Keep one search bait and one slower follow-up bait ready so a short feeding window is not wasted on Gordon Pond. Then compare the incoming-water end of Gordon Pond with the dam side and any point that reaches the old channel.

When to Fish Gordon Pond

On Gordon Pond, spring fish often move onto protected banks before the open basin warms. Summer fishing on Gordon Pond is usually best at low light, beside shade or along the outside edge of healthy cover. During fall at Gordon Pond, revisit creek mouths and main points with baitfish-sized lures.
