What to Expect at Ghost Lake

At 18.73 acres, Ghost Lake is small enough to fish methodically but large enough for one shoreline to differ from another.

Fish and Useful Baits at Ghost Lake

Fish reported from Ghost Lake include black crappie, bluegill, brown bullhead, chain pickerel, channel catfish, largemouth bass, longear sunfish, and yellow perch.

Bass

When largemouth bass hold tight to cover on Ghost Lake, a compact jig or weedless worm is more useful than repeated open-water casts.

Crappie, Perch and Sunfish

Crappie anglers on Ghost Lake should count the jig down beside brush until the holding depth becomes clear. A small float, light line and a piece of worm are enough for Ghost Lake bluegill around cover. Perch anglers on Ghost Lake should stay mobile until several bites come from the same depth.

Chain Pickerel

For Ghost Lake pickerel, cover weed edges with a flashy moving lure and use a short leader when bite-offs become common.

A Simple Fishing Plan for Ghost Lake

Fish one section carefully enough to learn the productive depth before moving to a different part of the water on Ghost Lake. Then compare vegetation, shaded shoreline and changes from soft to firm bottom around Ghost Lake before searching open water.

When to Fish Ghost Lake

Spring at Ghost Lake favors warming coves, feeder mouths and protected spawning banks. Once summer heat settles over Ghost Lake, work the deepest active cover instead of assuming every fish has moved to the bottom. Windblown points on Ghost Lake become worth checking when autumn baitfish move shallow.
