Bloody Pond near White Island Shores: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

  Bloody Pond lies within the bounds of Plymouth County, Massachusetts. What surrounds it is mixed woodland. It measures about 101 acres, which is a comfortable size for bank fishing. Shoreline comes to about 1.8 miles, small enough to learn in a day. It is among the larger waters listed here for Plymouth County. White Island Shores at 4.3 miles is the nearest place to stop. Then Sagamore, 6.2 miles, and Buzzards Bay, 7.4 miles. The boundary is close enough to be worth checking before you fish.

• Where to Fish on Bloody Pond

  We hold no depth figure for this one. Being tidal, the water moves twice a day, and the fishing moves with it. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Survey and observation records for Plymouth County include tessellated darter, striped bass, bluegill and swamp darter. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. On Bloody Pond the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 71°F, the coldest about 29°F. Spring and autumn are the strongest, but nothing is truly closed. Some winters give nothing at all, so plan for open water. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. The season on Bloody Pond follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. A carry of half a mile from the nearest parking is the price of fishing here. This sits inside Grassy Pond Nha (Plymouth), so read the reserve notices first. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. The nearest alternative is Round Pond, 1.1 miles out. Rules at Bloody Pond are worth checking on the day.
