Hunts Pond, Massachusetts: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  You will find Hunts Pond in Plymouth County, Massachusetts. Land around it is open valley. It covers about 6 acres, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Plymouth County. Abington lies 1.6 miles from the water. After that come Whitman at 2.3 miles and Brockton at 2.4 miles. A county line runs close by, so local bylaws can differ within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Hunts Pond

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Public occurrence data for Plymouth County names tessellated darter, striped bass and bluegill. The county list is broader than any single water. Hunts Pond responds to conditions more than to tactics.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is 28°F to 72°F. Mild ends to the year keep the season long. In a normal year the cover is thin and short-lived. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. Hunts Pond fishes to that pattern most years. Wind on the bank for a day or two lifts the fishing there.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. Expect a half a mile walk in from where the car goes. This sits inside Laurie Avenue Property, so read the reserve notices first. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. The nearest alternative is Cleveland Pond, 1.7 miles out. What applies at Hunts Pond may have changed since it was mapped.
