West Monponset Lake Description
The fish populations of West Monponsett Pond were most recently sampled in June of 1990. Ten species were observed in the western basin: white perch, yellow perch, pumpkinseed, bluegill, largemouth bass, black crappie, golden shiner, brown bullhead, chain pickerel and American eel. White sucker were also observed in West Monponsett Pond in 1980.
Fishing:
Both East and West Monponsett Ponds offer good to excellent fishing for largemouth bass and are popular bass tournament sites. Panfishing for white perch and sunfish is also good. Heavy recreational use during the summer months by water skiers and jet skis limit the best fishing times to morning or evening hours. Other nearby ponds include Burrrage Ponds in Hanson and Halifax, Robbins Pond in East Bridgewater and Furnace and Oldham Ponds in Pembroke.
