Fishing in Easton, Massachusetts, United States

Jamaica Pond is known for it’s Brook, Brown and Rainbow Trout population (as stocked by Masswildlife) it is also home to a variety of freshwater fish species. This includes Largemouth Bass, Chain Pickerel, Yellow Perch, Blue Gill, and Pumpkinseed Sunfish. Broodstock Salmon are also stocked when available. Being a glacially formed “kettle hole” pond, it is quite deep for it’s 68 acre size, averaging 25ft with a 53ft deepest hole. Pretty outstanding for a city pond! It can get crowded as it is in Boston, with a heavily used paved walking path all the way around. (I prefer more secluded spots personally.) Still giving Jamaica Pond 5 stars because you couldn’t ask for better freshwater fishing just 2 1/2 miles from Fenway Park.

I grew up on this pond and fished it every off a John boat. The best spots are 1-left side half way down you’ll see a house through the cleared trees and there is a fallen tree in the middle of a stone wall that wraps around the property line about 20’ off shoreline. I’ve pulled a 7lb, 5lb and numerous over 2 fishing that area especially in pre spawn months. Caught off suspending jerk bait or watermelon lizard/red shad worm. 2-The house that is on the water has a concrete structure along the waterline, I’ve pulled a lot of bass along that area and was always my second go to 3-dock at the very end of pond 4-the cove on the other side of peninsula opposite of where you fish offshore always held some decent fish especially when it’s windy it’s a good spot to hide out and catch some decent fish without getting blown around 5-there is a cluster of big rocks deep in middle off pond more or less across from house with concrete wall, if you can find the spot you can pull some fatty’s
