I caught the 7lber out of the big one. Here is what I found to be in Dorchester. Pond one: I've caught a 7lb 3oz; 6lb 9oz; two fish in the 5lb range; 6 or so in the four pound and countless in the 3 and under. 2nd pond I caught one 6lb 3oz; two 5lbers; and a lot of 3 and under. The third and 4th ponds are the ones that are a little harder to see off the circle. Sea raven court is the road to the third and fourth ponds. Both of those ponds have produced more 5 and 6 lb bass than the other two but the biggest was out of the 1st pond. I must warn you.... the third and fourth ponds have chain pickeral and they will bite your line off like a razor!! Set the hook quickly and you will stand a better chance keeping your hook if it is a pickeral. 3 and 4 are not as heavily fished as the other two. Have fun and keep us posted!

alright! tahts awesome about the pickeral but it sucks too! cuz i know that they hit bass lures, and i DO have pickeral leaders, but the bass dont tend to like those too much, so that could be a problem. i'd hate to lose a rapala to a pickeral....
thanks for that great report on the sizes of fish and the ponds and stuff by the way!

i just saw on google earth one pond off sea raven court, but i saw another off of topsmelt court, which is at the end of tattler court. then there is this one pond kinda behind the one on searaven that looks like its not part of dorchester. do you have google earth? if so, could you do something to help me out? what you'd have to do is go to google earth adn go to dorchester (type in dorchester waldorf md). then hit the print screen key on your keyboard. (right above the insert key, which is to the left of the home key) then open up microsoft paint and hit ctrl+v. that will paste the image of dorchester in ms paint. then take like a red paintbrush or sumthing and circle all the ponds. then save it and post the pic up here. you dont have to but that would be great if you did! thanks.
o and how often is it that you catch pickeral there?
