• Where to Fish on Mulberry Pond

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. This is tidal water: the state of the tide decides where fish sit, so plan the session around it. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. On Mulberry Pond the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

  Typical July readings run about 76°F; by January the average is down near 36°F. Cooler months are the productive ones on most of this water. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to be out.
