Cooper Pond Fishing near Plympton, Massachusetts

• Overview

  Plymouth County in Massachusetts is where Cooper Pond sits. The bank gives way to rolling hill. This is a pocket water of some 22 acres, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. The nearest place of any size is Plympton, 2.7 miles away. After that come Carver at 2.8 miles and Kingston at 6.2 miles. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Cooper Pond

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Fish documented in Plymouth County include tessellated darter, striped bass and bluegill. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. Anyone new to Cooper Pond should walk it once before setting up.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 72°F in July and bottoms out near 28°F in January. Spring and autumn are the strongest, but nothing is truly closed. It is not guaranteed from one year to the next. Spring and autumn carry the year; summer squeezes it into the ends of the day. It sets the rhythm of the year at Cooper Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. Reserve land runs up to the bank here, so read the notices. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Plymouth Road Pond sits 0.4 miles off and takes the overflow. Nothing on Cooper Pond should be assumed from this page alone.
