Egger Bog Pond in Plymouth County: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Egger Bog Pond stands in Plymouth County, Massachusetts. The shore lies 7.3 miles out. With some 25 acres of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. Ground here is low by Massachusetts standards. Some 3.1 miles away sits North Lakeville, the nearest settlement. Beyond it, Freetown at 4.8 miles and Assonet at 5.2 miles. The county line runs close by, so rules can change within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Egger Bog Pond

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Reported across Plymouth County: tessellated darter, striped bass, bluegill and swamp darter. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. At Egger Bog Pond the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 28°F in January and 72°F in July. Neither winter nor summer shuts things down for long. In milder years the edges alone go, and the middle never sets. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Egger Bog Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. The nearest alternative is Pierce Avenue Pond, 1.2 miles out. Confirm access to Egger Bog Pond locally before you travel.
