Hi, I live in Trumbull, Connecticut and recently I have found a pretty large lake that contains trout, bass, pike, and perch. I fished there a few times. However recently I realized that next to it, there are a few small ponds a few minutes away, but they have no name and I’m pretty sure no one fishes there. But I’m curious to know if there are bass there, because I only caught one in my life. What are the chances that there will be bass there? I don’t want to waste my time on an empty pond, so how would I know if there are bass there? (P.s., if anyone here is from my area, let me know so we can discuss our fishing area because fishing for me this year hasn’t been successful at all)
