Decent pond, only managed to hook up on some Perch and Sunfish when I went. Although my friend's grandfather managed to hook up on a decent Largemouth and Pickerel right next to us (hate when that happens :P) Fished here for about 4 hours and caught around 7 fish. 1 Bass, 1 Pickerel, 3 perch, 2 sunfish.

Stetson Pond Description
This 93-acre warm water pond is characterized by brown water with a transparency of five feet. Average depth 15 feet and maximum depth is 33 feet. Aquatic vegetation is fairly light. More than half (60%) of the total shoreline (1.5 miles) has been lost to development. The pond is located a half mile northeast of Route 58 near Monponsett Center. Access is provided by a dirt launch located off Plymouth Street. The launch is suitable for car top boats and canoes and is owned by the town of Pembroke. Fish Populations: pumpkinseed, bluegill, yellow perch, white perch, golden shiner, largemouth bass, chain pickerel, brown bullhead and American eel.
This pond has very low productivity and the general fish population exhibits low stock density. Largemouth bass and chain pickerel display good growth rates due to the lack of competition, but they are not numerous. Stunted sunfish dominates the pond. The yellow perch are generally less than nine inches long and display below average growth rates. Anglers can always find some action here, however, and an occasional large bass or pickerel is to be expected.
