84-acre pond in Worcester County, Massachusetts. The lake tops out around 15 ft. The depth chart is built from real state fisheries GPS surveys, so the humps, channels and drop-offs you see are measured, not guessed. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Traced from the shoreline, Moosehorn Pond runs 84 acres with 1.5 miles of edge. A shoreline index of 1.2 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. Call it 0.6 mi long by 0.4 mi wide at the broadest reach. You'll find it in Worcester County. For a second option, Asnacomet Pond lies 1 mi southwest.
Start shallow in spring: largemouth bass sit in 2 to 10 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 5 to 15 ft; cold water stacks them in 5 to 15 ft. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 2 ft range, prime in spring. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a texas-rigged 10" worm or a deep-diving crankbait until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 10 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 ft) | Spinnerbait, Chatterbait |

Summer baits: a jig trolled/spider-rigged or a small crankbait (trolled) gets it done.

A small sponge spider (fly) or a micro tube jig covers the summer program.

Keep a drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm rigged through the warm months.
