I like wadding near the lily pads to sneak up on the bass and get good cover, though...i never really caught any bass but its a hella good idea

Went there for the first time last Friday. A bit windy and the clouds cut down the time we were out there after work but worth another trip.
-
Big lake but be warned it is very shallow with large rocks that some times sit just under the surface. I have caught a few good Bass in there and also lost a few props and done some good damage to my boat. Smaller boats and time to kill then fish the back or the left when you first go in. Try some worms it is a good area for them.

Too many jet ski's on the water.
It is better to fish there in the cooler weather.

Lake Nippenicket Description
Lake Nippenicket is a 354-acre natural pond known locally as the Nip. Bordering the Hockomock Swamp, it forms the headwaters of the Town River. The lake is located about a half mile west of Route 24, just north of its intersection with Route 495. Due to the surrounding wetlands, the water is heavily tea stained and transparency is only 2.5 feet. The pond is shallow with an average depth of three feet and a maximum depth of only six feet. The bottom is predominantly sand but aquatic vegetation (milfoil, fanwort, algae) is abundant particularly in the north end. Due to the surrounding swamp, residential development has been restricted to the southern half of the 4.8 miles of shoreline.
Lake Nippenicket is a freshwater lake in the town of Bridgewater, Massachusetts. The lake borders a tiny portion of Route 104, and is near the vicinity of I-495 and Route 24. A good-size portion of the lake is included with the Hockomock Swamp Wildlife Management Area.
