Sampson Pond Description

Sampsons Pond is a 310 acre natural warmwater pond with an average depth of nine feet and a maximum depth of 14 feet. The water is slightly stained with a transparency of 12 feet. The bottom is composed of sand and gravel. Emergent vegetation covers about a tenth of the surface area. The shoreline (3.4 miles) is lightly developed with year round homes and cranberry bogs. The pond is fed by cranberry bog drainage and Tillson Brook and drains into Sampsons Brook at the south end. The pond was natural pond which has been enlarged to its present size by a dam built for a foundry. Access: Sampsons Pond is an enlarged great pond located in South Carver just north of Main Street and between Route 58 and Tremont Street. Access is a paved launching ramp off Main Street suitable for trailered boats. The town of Carver also has a town beach on the south end of the pond. The access is controlled by the town of Carver and although there is no launching fee, fishermen will need a to purchase a privilege sticker from the town hall to park on the town land next to the ramp. Fish Populations: yellow perch, bluegill, golden shiner, brown bullhead, common shiner, white perch, largemouth bass, chain pickerel, pumpkinseed sunfish and American eel.

Sampsons Pond is not a fertile pond, hence bass and pickerel yields are expected to be low. This pond has a reputation as a good bass producer, however, and numerous large bass have been reported as taken here (including the state record, but that fish based on numerous reliable reports actually came from another pond). Best fishing appears to be for yellow perch, some of which range to 10 inches or more.
