I went to a pond today in Brampton and there were lots of pumpkinseed, got 1 rockbass and lots of pumpkinseed. The rockbass was about 9 inches and the larger pumpkinseed were around 7 inches. There were many baby pumpkinseed less than 4 inches hiding under rocks close to shore. I figure they're probably last year's catch as they grow about 2 inches in their first year. They were in less than 2 feet of water. The bigger fish were out a little deeper. I fished from about 9:45-11:30. Everything was caught on live worms, I started off using a Beetle Bou Maraboo but that wasn't catching so I switched to live worms.

Looks fun! I love catching anything. Always brings a smile on my face. Little fish our the best when your on a cold streak!

I used a 5'6 UL and the larger pumpkinseed around 6+ inches sure could fight. These fish were caught right in an urban area also, you never know what can be found in the city.
I'm yet to catch fish on an artificial lure, I saw that my spinnerbait wasn't catching and the worms were getting bites often.

I went to this pond again yesterday and caught by largest fish ever! I landed it using my 5'0 UL rod with a worm as bait. I used to use little pieces of worm to fish , then I decided to put on a large piece and casted where a man there told me there's Largemouth Bass . I caught my largest fish, I estimate it to be around 14 inches and 1 pound.

Congratulations on catching your PB largie, but I'm sure that there are bigger ones to catch in your future,

Thank you, I'll probably be catching larger bass soon as I'm going to be at West Lake on Tuesday.

The most beautful fish in our systems, they were made for aquarums Cool report and nice sized bass. Save up some money and buy yourself a topwater lure and cast around weeds, you will have a blast

... but if they found away to give these guys STERIODS and get them up into the 5-10 lbs range. Wow! ... what a fight that would be.

That would make them peacock bass..lol
