• Where to Fish on Coxhat Pond

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Salem County records list bluegill, pumpkinseed, largemouth bass and chain pickerel among the fish reported. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. On Coxhat Pond that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 76°F and January near 32°F. Neither winter nor summer shuts things down for long. It is not guaranteed even in a cold spell, so check yourself. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. On Coxhat Pond that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. The water borders Thundergut Pond Wildlife Management Area, so reserve rules are likely to apply. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Failing this one, try Thundergut Pond, 0.4 miles away. What applies at Coxhat Pond may have changed since it was mapped.
