Largemouth Bass
Cape Cod's Barnstable Town might be famous for its saltwater fishing, but don't overlook the freshwater largemouth bass opportunities. Several kettle ponds and smaller lakes dot the landscape, providing surprisingly good bass fishing. These ponds, formed by glaciers, often have clear water and diverse structure, creating ideal habitat. Spring and fall are the best times to target largemouth, as they are more active in cooler water. During the summer, focus on fishing early mornings or late evenings to avoid the heat and boat traffic. Look for bass around weed lines, docks, and submerged timber. A local tip: Shifting winds can quickly change conditions on these smaller ponds, so pay attention to the weather forecast. Also, many ponds have restricted access or require permits, so check with the town of Barnstable for regulations before fishing. Popular lures include soft plastics, crankbaits, and topwater frogs, especially in weedy areas. The bass in these ponds are generally healthy and can provide a good fight on light to medium tackle.
