Fishing

With a large surface area and many protected habitats, the community of game fish in Gull Lake are able to thrive quite well.  The predominant targets within the lake include crappie, bluegill, largemouth bass, northern pike, rock bass, yellow perch and walleye.

The pike of Gull Lake can be found throughout the lake. Wilson Bay, Crane Island, and Grassy Point are all excellent locations for catching this popular target. 

Walleye are very abundant in Gull Lake; this makes the lake arguably one of the best locations for targeting the species.  While they are most abundant in high concentrations during the spring spawn, walleye can be found throughout most of the year in various portions of Gull Lake.  Ideal locations for targeting walleye include the northwest portion of Cinosam Flat, Tower Bar, and Squaw Point.  Various crankbaits and jigs are useful for catching this species. 

Largemouth bass are also a frequently targeted species of Gull Lake.  The best strategy for targeting this species is by utilizing the habitats provided by the weed beds in several parts of the lake.  Some of the best locations for targeting largemouth bass include Wilson Bay, the shoreline of Crane Island, Grassy Point, Cinosam Flat, and Rock Pile. 

The panfish of Gull Lake such as crappie, yellow perch and bluegill can be found in shallow areas that are sheltered from the main lake.  This includes habitats such as weed beds, fallen timber, and in creeks and coves.  The waters near Crane Island, WIlson Bay, Squaw Point, and Grassy Point are all prime spots for catching crappie and bluegill.  Various light tackles are recommended.
