Hardcastle Pond New Milford NJ Report 6/8/19

[BergenBassin]

First time checking this place out, it's behind the shoprite in New Milford. Brought my Abu Garcia Medium Heavy 7 foot combo and some soft plastics I had in the car. Texas rigged a Green Pumpkin Lizard and worked my way around the pond, a lot of small bass action and bedding fish, only saw one carp and a lot of panfish, I eventually switched out my texas rig for some topwater action on the whopper plopper and I felt bad because so many small largies kept going up to it but couldn't blow up on it, got dark so I hit the road home.

Anyone got tips for this little pond? There's a lot of veggie cover and I saw some nice size bass cruising through but wouldn't bite anything, only agressive smaller ones that were the size of a finger. Hope to go back there with some results during the later half of the week.
