Fish species in Woolman Lake

Woolman Lake covers 5.75 acres in Burlington County. Dependable maximum-depth and storage-volume figures were not found for Woolman Lake, so those measurements should not be guessed.

What to Expect at Woolman Lake

Because Woolman Lake is only 5.75 acres, a careful bank-by-bank approach is more useful than constant moving.

Fish and Useful Baits at Woolman Lake

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

Bass

Largemouth bass in Woolman Lake can be searched with a spinnerbait before a Texas-rigged worm is worked through the best cover.

Crappie, Perch and Sunfish

Crappie at Woolman 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 Woolman Lake for bluegill and related sunfish. A small minnow or worm on a light rig fits yellow perch fishing at Woolman Lake.

Chain Pickerel

Chain pickerel in Woolman Lake can be found with spoons, spinnerbaits and small swimbaits along vegetation.

A Simple Fishing Plan for Woolman Lake

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

When to Fish Woolman Lake

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