The fishery in the Atlantic Quarry Pond was evaluated in 2022 when an electrofishing survey was completed. Game fish sampled included largemouth bass, black crappie, bluegill and hybrid striped bass. Largemouth bass averaged 11-inches. Hybrid striped bass stocking provides an additional species for anglers to target. Quality sized (12-inches) black crappies were sampled in low numbers. Channel catfish are stocked in the fall during odd numbered years. This pond is connected to the river during flood events and a number of river species are present including gizzard shad, bigmouth buffalo, and common carp.(2022)
