Early in the season, on the eastern half of the pond (the side on the right side of the access road) the weeds aren't too bad on the shore lines and can be fished with some success. Yet, when I went out in late June, the weeds were too thick to fish, never mind get my boat through them. We were stuck fishing the weedless shore on the northern side of the pond, unsuccessfully. This half of the pond has no houses on the shore.
The most attractive and most troubling part of Robbins Pond are all of the submerged tree stumps. There are submerged stumps everywhere, which we all know provide structure for bass to congregate around. Unfortunately, they also provide places to run your boat onto and get stuck for 5 minutes (like I did... twice). If you can battle through the stumps with a good navigator, you could have some success. I'm yet to fish there without catching a fish, but just never as many as I expect.
As for the western half of the pond, also accessible from Pond St, I have only fished that a for a few minutes, until my motor went to shit. This half of the pond is almost completely surrounded by houses on the shore except for the beach on Pond St, and the side that butts up against the access road. On that shore though, you will find some good fishing, with lilly pads, bushes running in the water, and long grass, giving you plenty of structure to fish. I'm not sure if I plan to go back there because of all the trouble I have been given there, but I always welcome a challenge.

This pond is my favorite place to go.The pond you got stuck in sucks. I got stuck out there a few times myself .I fish the other pond most of the time because it's close to where I live and it never diappoints.In the summer time right at dusk the Largemouths go crazy on the Zara Spooks.2-3 pound lm all day and night long.A guy pulled a 8 pound lunker out of there last summer.
ReplyDeleteDid you know that back in 1975 76 ish a 12 pound bass was taken there , the article was in the brockton enterprize
DeleteOnly fished here twice and second time was yesterday. I caught nice 5lb bass on the left side of service road off shore. Used purple 5" senko.
ReplyDeleteThe upper no-name pond (it's not part of Robbins Pond; we've always called it Stump Pond), accessible via 106, does not suck at all. In fact, it is an amazing pond. My biggest out of there is 6.5lbs. My father's biggest is 7.1lbs. And no doubt there are much bigger bass in there.
ReplyDeleteYes, it gets weedy, but if you bring heavy line or braid, and tie on a frog or punch those mats, you'll catch some giants. Spinnerbaits work great out in middle, along the weedlines.
Your best bet is fishing from a kayak. It easily glides over even the thickest weeds. Don't give up on the places; it's one of the best spots around here.
which no name pond are you referring to ? the one behind Nicks and angelos pizza place ?
DeleteNo, that pond is dead, no fish. I'm talking about the one across the street, by the bogs. The pond shown on the right in the image above.
DeleteFished a tournament there back in July. One guy got a 6.2, and my father got a 6.4.
HMU WE CAN FISH THERE SOMETIME I OWN THE DAMN PLACE

DeleteI spent many summers at Robbins pond renting a cabin for most of the summer. I must say I have great memories from robbins pond!
DeleteI grew up on Pond Street in the 1980's I have spent literally thousands of hours on both ponds. My email is answerequals42@gmail.com. I can show you how to fish that place well. My best fish of my life came from the Robbins pond part and several fish over 6 lbs have come out of your pond. Comeau used to control the access there back in the day before anything was developed.
DeleteCaught a 6.6 on a plastic worm 20 years ago. Just moved back to area and plan on fishing it a bunch this year. Lost one that probably was near 8lbs. It's a great pond!
ReplyDeleteIf gavingraybill26@gmail.com truly owns that pond I wonder if he’s on the hook for the dam that just failed and flooded a bunch of homes.
ReplyDeleteYes they are and others as well. The land around the pond my be private, but the pond is actually a river and you can access it from public roads. I was just kayaking on it this weekend.
ReplyDelete"Might be" I meant to say.
ReplyDeletebeing fairly new to the area and an avid bass fisherman i find this article very helpfull iwill be looking fforward to more info
ReplyDeleteCan public access via dirt road off Rt 106 by Nick's?

DeleteCampus to my life at the robins farm campground skating rink was a good time just curious what happened to Evelyn the owner she was like a grandmother to me where she might be buried or how she died I might call that information
