Sullivan Lake sits in Warren County and is classified as a reservoir; I would pick one nearby part of the lake as the first section and keep fishing it until I get a useful answer from the opening stretch. For the opening part of the day, I would keep working one manageable part of the lake until I see enough in the opening stretch, because moving constantly makes a lake harder to read.
Sullivan Lake Size, Maximum Depth and Volume
Sullivan Lake does not have a dependable set of published size and depth measurements, so I would wait until a dependable agency source confirms the number before trusting a number and stay around one easy-to-read starting zone until I learn something from the first adjustment.
Fish Species and Best Baits
Known fish for Sullivan Lake include Bluegill and Largemouth Bass, so I would build the first part of the day around one realistic target at one promising starting zone and avoid switching until I see a pattern develop in the first adjustment. If bass are present in Sullivan Lake, a spinnerbait plus a Texas-rigged plastic gives a practical combination around one straightforward area near the launch; I would change it only when I get a useful clue from the nearby water.
A Practical Sullivan Lake Game Plan
If I were seeing Sullivan Lake for the first time, I would work one sheltered area near the launch with only a few dependable baits and fix the first weak link in the approach after I get a clear read from the nearby water. If I find a repeatable bite in the nearby water, I would stay around one short area near the launch on Sullivan Lake and use that clue on the next similar stretch. After I get a useful clue from the first setup, I would leave Sullivan Lake knowing that one nearby piece of water deserves another look before I start searching somewhere else.
