A Simple Fishing Plan for Lake Wildwood

Begin with the first clear depth change, then test nearby wood, weeds or rock instead of making random casts on Lake Wildwood. Then compare vegetation, shaded shoreline and changes from soft to firm bottom around Lake Wildwood before searching open water.

When to Fish Lake Wildwood

Early spring on Lake Wildwood calls for a slow presentation near the first break outside protected water. At midday in summer, Lake Wildwood anglers should slow down beside shade, weeds or a nearby depth change. Fall on Lake Wildwood is a good time for small crankbaits and swimbaits around moving forage.
