Lake Boon covers 180 acres in Middlesex County. The recorded maximum depth at Lake Boon is 23 feet. The documented storage volume is about 1,644 acre-feet.

What to Expect at Lake Boon

The verified 23-foot maximum gives Lake Boon enough depth for fish to move away from the bank without turning the lake into a purely open-water fishery.

Fish and Useful Baits at Lake Boon

Fish reported from Lake Boon include american eel, banded killifish, black crappie, bluegill, brown bullhead, chain pickerel, golden shiner, largemouth bass, pumpkinseed, white perch, yellow bullhead, and yellow perch.

Bass

A spinnerbait, square-bill and Texas rig cover the most useful largemouth situations on Lake Boon.

Crappie, Perch and Sunfish

A soft-plastic minnow or live minnow placed beside cover is a sound crappie approach on Lake Boon. For sunfish on Lake Boon, keep a cricket or tiny jig close to weed edges and shaded wood. For Lake Boon yellow perch, work a light jig slowly along the first firm-bottom break.

Walleye and Larger Predators

A spoon or compact swimbait worked beside weeds is a practical chain pickerel choice on Lake Boon.

A Simple Fishing Plan for Lake Boon

Start with the clearest repeatable contour or cover edge on Lake Boon. Compare incoming water, the old channel and a point leading toward the deeper end of Lake Boon.

When to Fish Lake Boon

A sunny spring afternoon can pull Lake Boon fish toward dark bottom, wood and new vegetation. Summer fish in Lake Boon may feed shallow at dawn before settling beside cover or deeper structure. Cooling water can bring Lake Boon fish back to points and banks where bait gathers.
