Greetings,

New to this forum and was wondering if any of you knew any good cape cod freshwater fishing spots? Been fishing the same body of water for the last few years.

Please and thank you

There is a LOT of great fishing on Cape Cod. Go to google.com and type in "Massachusetts Ponds and Lakes" and then click on the first result link. Then,  click on the Cape Cod/S.E. MA section of the map. That is an AWESOME guide to MA ponds and lakes and it has maps of most of them and recent fish survey information along with some good pointers as to what/where to fish and what kind of fish the lake holds.

Some of my favorite ponds/lake for larger boats are: Long Pond in Harwich,  Wequaquet in Barnstable, and Mashpee-Wakeby in Mashpee. If you have smaller boat or a smaller engine then these are my favorites:  Hinckley's Pond in Harwich,  Seymour Pond in Harwich,  Upper Mill, and Lower Mill Ponds in Harwich/Brewster,  and Walker Pond in Harwich/Dennis. All the ponds I just mentioned for smaller boats are part of the same chain of lakes. Upper, and Lower Mill are attached by a ~1/4 mile creek, and Walker flows right into Upper Mill. Seymour and Hinckley's are also attached by a creek. These are all herring-run-fed ponds and the growth rates are awesome. Me and my buddy fished Seymour and Hinckley's the last 2 days and we caught about 15 smallies each, and 5 largemouth each. Five of the smallmouth were 4+ pounds and my buddy got one 5 pound, 1 ounce smallie. We also got several 4+ lbs mossy backs. The average fish in these ponds is 3 lbs and up.  We have caught VERY few small fish. In this time of year and for the next month just "camp out" in front of the mouths of the runs and throw a spinnerbait,  underspin,  or suspending jerkbait and you will have a blast.

Message me if you have any other questions or just respond on here. If you wanna get together and go fishing sometime that'd be cool. Get a buddy and we'll have a little friendly tournament! ;)

I hope that this has helped you.

He got us  >;)  ;D

Wequaquet is something else. Another great pond is Little Herring Pond. It is hard to get into and you need four-wheel drive and a car-topper but it is worth it. I'm not sure of the exact location but it is near Great Herring Pond if that helps.  :-/  My ex's father took me there and we each caught almost 60 in 8 hours. A lot of nice quality 2-4 pound fish as well. It gets really choked up in late summer though.
