South Triangle Pond, Massachusetts: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Plymouth County in Massachusetts is where South Triangle Pond sits. The surface lies 105 feet up. Surface area runs to about 17 acres — small enough to read in one session. Supplies mean a trip to Plymouth, 3 miles off. Then North Plymouth, 4 miles, and Carver, 5.6 miles. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge. Cooks Pond, 0.6 miles out, is the name people recognise.

• Where to Fish on South Triangle Pond

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Species logged across Plymouth County include tessellated darter, striped bass, bluegill and swamp darter. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. South Triangle Pond gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 71°F, the coldest about 29°F. A lid forms in a hard winter only. It should never be assumed safe, whatever the month says. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. That is the shape of the year on South Triangle Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. There is somewhere to leave the car, half a mile off. South Triangle Pond Natural Heritage Area covers ground next to the water; its rules will apply on that side. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. The nearest alternative is Cooks Pond, 0.6 miles out. Check the current arrangement for South Triangle Pond.
