• Where to Fish on Wunneweta Pond

  Depth figures are not published for this one. Salt or brackish and tidal: fish the flow, rest at slack, and watch the mud on a falling tide. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Fish documented in Suffolk County include alewife, blueback herring, pumpkinseed, bluegill and largemouth bass. On Wunneweta Pond that means starting tight and working out.
