We had nine members fish Patchogue Mill Pond on June 27, 2010. The Lake was very overgrown with aquatic plants which made moving around and fishing a bit tough. It was very hot and the slight shower that occurred was a short relief to the heat. Several anglers fished with live freshwater shiners purchased from J&J Tackle and had some success.

Tom Wasilewicz had the best luck shore fishing He weighed-in a 2lb 8oz largemouth bass and a 14oz pickerel. The only other weigh-in was by Tom Ganetis with a 9 oz pickerel which was released. Cliff Bennett fished with me (Bill R.) and had a nice largemouth next to my canoe but it spit the small bluegill before we could land it. Bob Cromeyn fished in his own boat and Joe Phelan fished from his boat with Tom Ganetis. Chuck Moffett, Rich Steinbart and his son tried from the shore.

Over the past years we have held the freshwater tournaments at Kahler's Pond in Moriches, Swan (East) Lake, West Lake and the Mill Pond in Patchogue. I am open to trying some completely new place in 2011 such as Lake Ronkonkoma, Carman's River, Forge Pond or all of Peconic River. My only steadfast requirement is to have the fishing take place with anglers fishing in close proximity to each other.
