It was very windy ( gusts up to 20MPH) so I headed to Stump Pond on Staten Island
Stump Pond has crappie, BG's bass and carp. It is located in the Staten Island Green Belt.
One can literally walk for miles in this area and be totally isolated from city life. On a hot day the forest will protect you from the sun. It is always quiet and peaceful.
This is a picture of Ohrback Lake. The lake belongs to the Pooch Boy Scout camp. You can
fish there but a permit must be obtained from the Boy Scout Camp. Big bass and big pickerel
can be caught there.
Stump Pond looking south.
The water was clear and because of the trees surrounding the pond there was no wind
in this area.

Where there is a predator there are fish
Protected and windless
Tranquil and quiet.
Hi, i follow your blog quite a lot and enjoy it. I moved to New York from Sweden about a year ago. I used to fish a lot in Sweden, but mainly northern pike and trout species. I recently started fishing here in New York and have been mostly to Prospect park, but I enjoy your blog and wondered if perhaps i could join you on one of your fishing excursions? My email is: carl.wernhoff@gmail.com
