Pumpkinseed sunfish in Sanctuary Pond
« on: October 03, 2016, 04:00:58 PM »

Is seems like the Sanctuary Pond is suddenly full of pumpkinseed sunfish.  Has someone put a few buckets of them into the pond this summer?

They have been there for years, along with the Carp/Goldfish.

Oh I see.  Maybe I didn't notice them during previous visits because the trout were more active.  On the weekend the sunfish were really going after the bait.

Have you gone more recently? I’ve been thinking going with a couple of friends but I’m not sure if the sunfish are still here, active, or what bait to use.

Pumpkinseeds love worms under a float. If you aren't getting bites keep trying different depths or areas.

Sorry, I know it's not the actual topic, but I wanted to check out Sanctuary Pond and try for some trout but I wasn't sure where to park. Didn't want to pay for parking in one of the PNE/Playland lots. Can anyone tell me where the best place to park is here? Is it by Agrodome?

Yes it's near the Agrodome. There's plenty of free parking. Reminder, you can only fish off the small dock.
