Blackmore Pond Fishing Guide, Plymouth County, Massachusetts

• Overview

  Set in Plymouth County, Massachusetts, this is Blackmore Pond. It stands 16 feet above sea level. It runs to roughly 43 acres — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. It is low-lying compared with other Massachusetts water we list. Nearest town is Wareham Center, 1.6 miles off. New Bedford is the closest city, 12 miles away. The boundary is near enough that local access rules are worth double-checking.

• Where to Fish on Blackmore Pond

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Fish documented in Plymouth County include tessellated darter, striped bass, bluegill, swamp darter and chain pickerel. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Read Blackmore Pond before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is 28°F to 72°F. Temperature moves within a narrow band, and so does the fishing. In milder years the edges alone go, and the middle never sets. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. Blackmore Pond runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.
