In Bladen County, Singletary Lake is listed as a reservoir; my opening stop would be one straightforward area near the launch, and I would stay with it until I find a repeatable bite in the first few casts. The first trip does not have to solve everything, so I would keep fishing one promising piece of water until I find a repeatable bite in the nearby water before I add more distance or tackle.
Singletary Lake Size, Maximum Depth and Volume
Exact size and depth measurements are sparse for Singletary Lake, so I would leave the figures unstated until a current management document publishes a figure and use one easy-to-read piece of water until I find a repeatable bite in the first hour.
Fish Species and Best Baits
The available fish information for Singletary Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Flier, Largemouth Bass, Redear Sunfish, Warmouth, and Yellow Perch, so my opening plan would use one main target around one manageable section of bank and hold there until I see a pattern develop in the first setup. A compact spinnerbait, crankbait, and Texas-rigged plastic cover the basic bass approaches around one nearby section of bank on Singletary Lake; I would stay with them until I see a pattern develop in the opening stretch.
A Practical Singletary Lake Game Plan
For a first trip to Singletary Lake, I would fish one short section of bank long enough to judge the plan, then change depth before changing every bait after I get a useful answer from the first few casts. After I get a useful answer from the nearby water, I would give one sheltered shoreline stretch more time on Singletary Lake instead of immediately looking elsewhere. Once I get a useful answer from the first hour, I would remember what worked around one straightforward shoreline stretch and begin the next trip to Singletary Lake with that same clue.
