Fish and Useful Baits at Bunnells Pond

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

Bass

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

Crappie, Perch and Sunfish

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

Catfish, Bullheads and Carp

After dark, try a nightcrawler or cut bait near a channel turn when fishing Bunnells Pond for channel catfish.

A Simple Fishing Plan for Bunnells Pond

When to Fish Bunnells Pond
