• Where to Fish on Weeks Pond

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Public occurrence data for Worcester County names bluegill, chain pickerel, largemouth bass and pumpkinseed. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. On Weeks Pond that means starting tight and working out.

Climate figures give an open season running late March to late December. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. It holds true on Weeks Pond more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. There is recorded parking some half a mile off. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. For a change of water, Hunt Pond is 0.2 miles distant. For Weeks Pond, the notice at the access point is the final word.
