How the Seasons Change Gull Pond

Spring on Gull is a good time to check warm coves and incoming water, and summer is a good time to fish shade, weeds and the first drop into deeper water. Fall on Gull can bring fish back to windy points and banks, while winter calls for smaller baits fished slowly.

A Simple Plan for Fishing Gull Pond

When you first fish Gull, check one quiet cove, one rocky or firm point and the nearby deep water with a moving lure, then use a jig or worm where you find fish.

Useful Tackle for Gull Pond

A medium spinning rod covers most casting at Gull, while a second rod with enough line and weight to reach deep water is useful for salmon.
