A guide to bass fisherman who are looking for some good action in the ponds, lakes, and rivers surrounding Boston as well as the numerous kettle ponds all over the Cape. Post an article about a fishing hole you know and turn this into a database
Foreword
As an avid fisherman from a small suburb of Boston, I often find myself saddened by the brevity of the season, the limited number of large fisheries, and the fact that I don't own a bass fishing boat. Almost all of these I can't change so I decided to start a blog about shore and canoe fishing the unassuming ponds of the greater Boston area as well as my second home, the upper cape. Enjoy.

Higgins Pond Herring Run
What makes Higgins and Gull so unique is their connection to the Herring River. The river itself provides an annual run of herring that feed to the bass. The connection is a small inlet off of Higgins that may seem accessible but actually meanders a bridge and finally connects to the river. Not coincidentally, the biggest and consistent strikes I've had have been in the vegetation surrounding that connection. This means that when fishing the pond, use a herring crankbait imitation or a spoon to remind the bass of what they crave every year.
