Magoun Pond near North Pembroke: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Plymouth County, Massachusetts, is where Magoun Pond sits. The land about it is mixed woodland. Surface area runs to about 6 acres — small enough to read in one session. It is a small entry by Plymouth County standards. Nearest place of any size is North Pembroke, 2.2 miles away. The nearest city of size is South Boston, 21 miles away. The county line runs close by, so rules can change within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Magoun Pond

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. Species logged across Plymouth County include tessellated darter, striped bass and bluegill. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. Magoun Pond repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 72°F, while January sits near 28°F. The calendar is generous: something works in nearly every month. In a normal year the cover is thin and short-lived. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. The season on Magoun Pond follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. Expect a half a mile walk in from where the car goes. The water borders Edgewood Forest, so expect the reserve rules to apply. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. The nearest alternative is Mounce Pond, 0.7 miles out. The position on Magoun Pond is worth confirming on the day.
