413-acre pond in Plymouth 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 rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
The drawn water covers 413 acres wrapped in 3.2 miles of bank. Nearly circular (index 1.1), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. Tip to tip the water measures near 1.3 mi with a 0.7-mi widest point. It sits in Plymouth County. If the bite dies, East Monponsett Pond is 1 mi to the east.
Spring largemouth bass on West Monponsett Pond hold shallow, usually 2 to 10 ft. They move out to 5 to 15 ft in summer and finish the year down in 5 to 15 ft. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 8 ft that grades prime for winter. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a texas-rigged 10" worm or a deep-diving crankbait.

A weedless spoon + trailer or a buzzbait covers the summer program.
