Brimstone Pond in Goose Cove East: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  You will find Brimstone Pond in Goose Cove East, Newfoundland and Labrador. It lies 6 metres above sea level. Roughly 1.45 sq km of surface: treat each bay as a water in its own right. Shoreline length is close to 7.4 km, and each section fishes a little differently. It is low-lying compared with other Newfoundland and Labrador water we list. The closest town, St. Anthony, is 21 km away. Beyond it, Baie Verte at 159 km and Saint-Augustin at 192 km. This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Brimstone Pond

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. Being tidal, the water moves twice a day, and the fishing moves with it. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Fish Brimstone Pond where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 14°C and January near -12°C. Cold winters and warm summers give a wide working range. After mid May the shallows warm and the fish move up. In an average year the thaw lands around mid May and the freeze near late November. The first weeks of open water and the last are the ones to plan for. The season on Brimstone Pond rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. There is no recorded infrastructure here; expect to find your own way in. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Three Brooks Pond, 3 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Check the current arrangement for Brimstone Pond.
