• Overview

  Out in Plymouth County, Massachusetts, sits Grassy Pond. Everything around it is rolling hill. At 3 acres it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day.

Local rules may differ a few miles either side of here.

• Where to Fish on Grassy Pond

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Reported across Plymouth County: tessellated darter, striped bass, bluegill, swamp darter and chain pickerel. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. Grassy Pond gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 71°F in July and bottoms out near 29°F in January. The year gives four workable seasons without severe ends. In milder years the edges alone go, and the middle never sets. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. Expect Grassy Pond to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. Abner Pond runs up to the bank here, which usually means extra restrictions. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Fearing Pond at 0.4 miles is the sensible second choice. Treat access at Grassy Pond as something to verify.
