Fish species in Kincaid Lake

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

What to Expect at Kincaid Lake

Without trustworthy acreage or depth figures for Kincaid 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 Kincaid Lake

Fish reported from Kincaid Lake include black crappie, bluegill, chain pickerel, channel catfish, largemouth bass, and yellow perch.

Bass

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

Crappie, Perch and Sunfish

Crappie at Kincaid Lake respond to a small jig or live minnow beside brush and suspended cover. Use a tiny jig or natural bait under a float when fishing Kincaid Lake for bluegill and related sunfish. A small minnow or worm on a light rig fits yellow perch fishing at Kincaid Lake.

Chain Pickerel

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

A Simple Fishing Plan for Kincaid Lake

Start with an easy-to-repeat feature, such as a point, creek turn or outside weed edge on Kincaid Lake. Then compare the incoming-water end of Kincaid Lake with the dam side and any point that reaches the old channel.

When to Fish Kincaid Lake

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