Fish species in Cub Lake

Cub Lake is a lake in Sussex County, but a dependable acreage figure was not found. Dependable maximum-depth and storage-volume figures were not found for Cub Lake, so those measurements should not be guessed.

What to Expect at Cub Lake

Without trustworthy acreage or depth figures for Cub Lake, the safest approach is to read the water in front of you instead of assuming it fishes like another lake with the same name.

Fish and Useful Baits at Cub Lake

Fish reported from Cub Lake include bluegill and largemouth bass.

Bass

Low light favors a topwater or spinnerbait for Cub Lake largemouth; brighter conditions call for a slower presentation beside cover.

Crappie, Perch and Sunfish

A small float, light line and a piece of worm are enough for Cub Lake bluegill around cover.

A Simple Fishing Plan for Cub Lake

Compare one protected bank with one windblown bank before deciding which side deserves the afternoon on Cub Lake. Then compare vegetation, shaded shoreline and changes from soft to firm bottom around Cub Lake before searching open water.

When to Fish Cub Lake

On Cub Lake, spring fish often move onto protected banks before the open basin warms. Summer fishing on Cub Lake is usually best at low light, beside shade or along the outside edge of healthy cover. During fall at Cub Lake, revisit creek mouths and main points with baitfish-sized lures.
