Discover Killens Pond's scenic sister pond, Coursey Pond, and the majestic beauty of the Murderkill River, which connects the two. This pond is in Killens Pond State Park.The shoreline just north of the boat ramp is a popular bluegill concentration area in late spring and easily accessible to shore anglers. Several citation largemouth bass and black crappie are taken from this pond each year. Chain pickerel are not abundant, but some citation-size ones have been taken. A fish ladder was installed to allow river herring access to freshwater spawning areas during the spring.River herring use the fish ladder to gain access to the pond during the spring months. It is unlawful for any person to fish within ten feet of the entrance or exit of a fish ladder or remove fish from any ladder between March 15 and May 30. This regulation was passed to protect the river herring from harvesting while they are confined in the fish ladder. Coursey Pond is a 58-acre impoundment, located in the central part of the state 3 miles south-west of Frederica, DE.
Spatterdock is abundant along much of the shoreline in the back half of the pond, especially during the summer months. A bright green coloration in the water during July indicates the presence of a blue-green algae bloom, but fishing is not usually impacted.
The ranking score is used to determine how "popular" a trip or location is. It is calculated based off of a weighted average of the number of reviews and the user ratings. For example, a location with 2 reviews and an average rating of 5 will have a lower "ranking score" than one with 10 reviews and an average rating of 4. This is because even though the first location has a better average rating, it has not been reviewed as much as the second location, so it is not as "popular". In the future we may modify the ranking score to take in additional factors, such as the number of views, comments, and photos.
