Hey everyone. As title states I'm new and live in Weymouth.
Have gear for freshwater and another for saltwater. Also trying to get my son into fishing who just caught his first pumpkinseed.
Looking to learn from all of you and looking for any advice you can share.

Welcome to the forum.
Whitman's Pond is a good place to start. There's shore access along rte 53 and Middle street. If you have a small boat, kayak, canoe, etc., there's a concrete ramp on Middle street.
Jacob's Pond on Jacob's lane (off route 123) in Norwell used to be very good until the town treated the water to kill off the weeds a few years ago. It held a good supply of bass, pickerel, and yellow perch. It might be better now.
Sunset Lake in Braintree is a third option, but the town treated the water in June, eliminating most of the weeds. My best bass was just over 3 pounds there, with bigger pickerel. Shore access is good once you enter the High School road off Franklin street. There's also a parking area along Franklin street.
Good luck.
