Have you fished at Garrets Pond (aka Stewards Pond)? Be the first to comment on this fishing spot.
Garretts Pond, also known as Stewards Pond and in earlier times as Annables Pond, is a 24 acre natural kettlehole pond with an average depth of 10 feet and a maximum depth of 28 feet. The pond is fed by groundwater and cranberry bogs and drains into Brickyard Creek which then flows into the Barnstable Marshes and Cape Cod Bay. The 0.93 miles of shoreline are lightly developed with houses. The pond is noted for its clear water with a transparency reading of 24 feet! Aquatic vegetation is scant. Due to its location on a terminal moraine ridge of Cape Cod, the pond bottom has extensive boulder and rubble areas interspersed with sand. Garretts Pond is located in West Barnstable just west of Route 132 and between Routes 6 and 6A. It can be reached by taking exit 6 off the Mid-Cape Highway (route 6) and heading north on Route 132. Just before reaching Route 6A, take a left onto Oak Street. Public access to Garretts Pond is at the southeast corner of the pond through a town landing located off Oak Street and reached by a steep dirt road between Moco Road and Bancroft Circle. Fish Populations: yellow perch, brown bullhead and American eels were reported. Angler reports indicate that largemouth bass fishing is good in Garretts Pond. Based on the water quality data which indicates an acidic, low fertility pond, the amount of fish in the pond would be expected to be limited. Although the rubble areas would indicate good smallmouth bass habitat, past reports indicate reproduction was limited in this pond.
