were renting a vacation house on Neals Pond on the vermont/new hampshire border. what kind of fish should i expect to be able to catch? even if you didnt fish hear what about the area in general if it helps its a very large pond i guess its 185 acres

[Kkeltic]

Walleye, Largemouth Bass, Buffalo Carp, rainbows, and native brown trout.

Pickerel too. Brookies are sometimes a possibility near the inlet and outlet.

[mattreney]

ok thanks. any tips for bait? are walleyes and pickeral caught on the same lures as bass? and what do i use to catch carp?

[shane]

If you use a tube jig, you will probably catch everything in it. Wacky worms work great up there too.

Can't go wrong with a minnow plug either.

Use a Jitterbug at night.

[Kkeltic]

Standard lures for bass-jig, worms, crankbaits, spinnerbaits, lipless cranks or rattle traps,maybe some stickbaits.
Don't fish for walleye or pickerel, but I know walleyes will hit bass lures. Try crankbaits, spoons, jerkbaits and get a planer board if you're going to troll for them.
Doughballs work on carp and catfish.
Live bait will work when they aren't hitting artificials! Shiners, shad, minnows, etc.
