Jamaica Pond Stockings!!!!!!

Why is it that the Mass Wildlife website can't update their trout stocking schedules on a timely basis, like say, by at least 2 weeks after they stock the ponds, but they can get press coverage on the stocking of THE ONLY STOCKED POND IN THE CITY!

And they wonder why people get pi$$ed off that they can't catch any trout in that pi$$-hole.

Let's see, you put in around 1000 fish, you advertise the day that you did it, where you did it, and expect that 1000 fish to survive the season? They'll be lucky to see the end of the month!

In my opinion, the state would do much better wasting our money trying to manage the goose and cormorant problems in this pond than on the trout. That pond USED TO have fantastic fishing, for every level of angler. Now, unless you stalk the stocking truck, you're lucky to catch anything other than small sunnies and perch.

I grew up in that area, and fished it for decades. Now, I won't make the trip there because it's not worth the aggravation.

Sure, there may be some decent gamefish left in that pond, but with the deteriorating quality it's turned from a self-sustained ecosystem to a "put and take" pond that requires constant maintanence.
