The pond i catch them at, the black bandeds and bandeds are the most common fish species. The mud sunfish are rare, and so are some pirate perch. This pond also has white horse chubs and pumpkin seeds, yellow bullheads, tadpole madtoms, and brown bullheads. We also have largemouth bass and bluegills which are not as common in this pond. It is almost a pure pine barrens pond (a huge flooded out creek). When I return back from my university, I will post a bunch of pictures. It is really neat the stuff i pull out. I think NJ is trying to do its best protecting what little native wildlife we have left. I love my little mud sunfish though, they have all the personality of a bass, in this little carnivourous, pelicular looking fish.
