  Langsford Pond sits in Essex County, out in Massachusetts. Tidal water begins 0.9 miles from here. The water measures roughly 4 acres, so nothing here is far from anything else.

The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Langsford Pond

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Reported across Essex County: Atlantic cod, alewife and bluegill. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. On Langsford Pond a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from 27°F in January up to 71°F in July. Spring and autumn are the strongest, but nothing is truly closed. In a normal year the cover is thin and short-lived. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. Time your trip to Langsford Pond by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Mapping shows a jetty some half a mile off. Part of this sits inside or beside Annisquam Woods, so read the notices. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. The nearest alternative is Loop Pond, 1.9 miles out. Check the position at Langsford Pond before loading the car.
