79-acre pond in Bristol 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. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Drawn out, this is 79 acres of water rimmed by 1.4 miles of bank. A shoreline index of 1.1 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. Figure 0.5 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.3 mi at the beam. The water lies in Bristol County. The nearest mapped water is Watson Pond, 1 mi to the southeast.
In spring, largemouth bass run shallow here, mostly 2 to 10 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 5 to 15 ft, and winter fish settle into 5 to 15 ft. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 2 ft, rated prime for spring largemouth bass. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a texas-rigged 10" worm or a deep-diving crankbait most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 10 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 ft) | Spinnerbait, Chatterbait |
| Summer | 5 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Back-bay flat (3 ft) | Texas-rigged 10" worm, Deep-diving crankbait |
| Fall | 4 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Old creek channel (7 ft) | Squarebill crankbait (shad), Spinnerbait |
| Winter | 5 to 15 ft | midday | Old creek channel (7 ft) | Blade bait, Jigging spoon |
Spring puts crappie in skinny water — 2 to 8 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 5 to 15 ft, wintering in 5 to 15 ft. Fall crappie concentrate at Old creek channel, a prime-rated creek channel around 7 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A jig trolled/spider-rigged or a small crankbait (trolled) covers the summer program.

Spring yellow perch on Winnecunnet Pond hold shallow, usually 3 to 12 ft. By summer they slide out to 5 to 15 ft, and by winter most fish are in 5 to 15 ft.

The summer box starts with a drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm.

Tie on a weedless spoon + trailer or a buzzbait and you're in the game.

Top water on the chart: Mulberry Meadow Brook inflow, an inflow / creek mouth in the 6 ft range, prime in spring. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a small spinner rig drifted or a 1/8 oz jigging spoon until the fish tell you otherwise.
