Hey fellas,
I've been researching ponds in my area and saw white pond is pretty darn close to me! I read online it's great for swimming kayaking and sitting at the beach but I found no info about fishing. People have posted about it on MA fish finder but only in small amounts and I wanted to be safe.

Yeah, that's not true. Walk up the railroad path and you'll see some rogue "no trespassing, private property" signs. That's just some nearby owner staking his claim on things that aren't his. The only true signs over there are the conservation signs to use the proper paths to a avoid further erosion. I hate these jackholes who live near public water trying to deter usage.
Wow thanks for the heads up! What a jackass!
Walked for two hours and was so demotivated.
Luckily Lake Boon was nearby and there were no signs there so I went over and threw in a senko.
TADA! Within 30 seconds I had my first fish ever hooked!
A footlong Largemouth bass!
I'll post pictures later!
Can't wait to cook him!

There is a consumption advisory on the bass and crappie in Lake Boon. You can eat them, just don't make a habit of it.

Yes, pretty much all New England ponds contain mercury because it's airborne, comes from the coal fired power plants in the midwest, blows east, and precipitates out of the atmosphere. The mercury collects in aquatic plants that are consumed by small organisms. It then bioaccumulates up the food chain so that the higher order predators end up with the highest concentrations in their bodies.
