Fuller Pond, Massachusetts: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  In Massachusetts, Fuller Pond belongs to Norfolk County. It stands 220 feet above sea level. The town to know is Plainville, 1.1 miles out. The big place round here is Providence, 14 miles distant. Also worth knowing: 0.5 miles away is Cargill Pond, Wetherells Pond within 1.1 miles, 1.5 miles away is Whiting Pond, Turnpike Lake within 1.9 miles and 2.9 miles away is Diamond Hill Reservoir. The county line runs close by, so rules can change within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Fuller Pond

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Norfolk County records list bluegill, pumpkinseed, chain pickerel and yellow perch among the fish reported. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. Fuller Pond repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about 26°F and July at about 71°F, the water has a wide range to work through. Conditions shift steadily rather than sharply. It is not guaranteed from one year to the next. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. Plan around that when you fish Fuller Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. Expect a half a mile walk in from where the car goes. The water borders West Bacon Street Land, so reserve rules are likely to apply. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Cargill Pond, 0.5 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Check the position on Fuller Pond before loading the car.
