towelie,
I just got back into fishing last year, after a 30 year absents. Things sure have changed. 30 years ago you could not fish Spot Pond but you could fish Dark Hallow. Don't know about that today. It is not connected to Spot Pond. There use to be a road that lead down to it and you were able to put in a canoe. There were some nice Bass in there.
I am going to take a ride there and see what I can find and will probable fish Spot Pond. Where do you park to fish Spot Pond???

There are numerous places to park but I only park in one place which is called Straw Point. All the places I like to fish at Spot are very close to this parking area. After you park at Straw, it doesn't matter which direction you head, (left or right), I think the fishing is really good either way. There are terrific spots that you will clearly see no more than a 5 minute walk in either direction.
Put this address into google maps and zoom in and you can see the parking area. I've never had any problems finding a place to park here, even at its busiest, which is really great.

I'd also recommend reading the Spot Pond thread over in the Bass fishing forums if you haven't already (thread is called Turtle Rock something something). There is some great material in there on how the pond can be tough at times due to its clear water, rock structure, abundant forage of crawfish and trout, etc.. While tough at times, this combination of conditions has allowed some monsters to grow in there!
