Freshwater action? Boston area...

[PRBuzz]

My son and I used to have a fun time C&R bass from canoe in Ponkapoag Pond. Great place to canoe/boat (no motors) or shore fishing. Get there via Canton St, between Rt 24/138.

Around Boston try Jamaica Pond or Houghtons in Canton, both have been stocked this fall. Further south in Plymouth Little or Long Ponds trout and salmon stocked this fall.

Check out the Mass Wildlife website for thier pond maps, as well as the "best bets" section for bass, pike and muskie.
Then get a goos map book and hit the road.
Here's a short list of past favorites:
Jamaica Pond, Houghtons Pond, Ponkapog Pond, Spy Pond, Buskmaster Pond, Popes Pond, Lower Mystic Lake, Trout Brook, Stony Brook, Charles River.
Then there's the out-of-town spots like Lake Chauncey, the A1 spot in Westborough, Lake Cochitiut, Long Sought For Pond, Freeman Pond, and ANY pond in Plymouth.

All these were found by use of the state website and a map.

This is the best advice. I have a laundry list of ponds/lakes that I want to splash the kayak in next spring.
