Fishing at Gull Pond, St. Bride's, Newfoundland and Labrador

• Overview

  You will find Gull Pond in St. Bride's, Newfoundland and Labrador. Elevation runs to 240 metres. With some 50 hectares of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. Shoreline length is close to 5.8 km, and each section fishes a little differently. Nothing else we list in St. Bride's covers more water. Placentia lies 21 km from the water. Whitbourne lies 51 km off, Harbour Main-Chapel's Cove-Lakeview another 71 km. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Gull Pond

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. At Gull Pond the water rewards a slow, careful approach. Look for the seam between clear and coloured water.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about -6°C in February to roughly 15°C in August. Hard water is a season in its own right here. Winter locks it down, and late April brings it back. Ice usually gives way near late April, and forms again about mid December. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. Plan any trip to Gull Pond around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Should this one be busy, Turfy Pond is 1.5 km off. Nothing on Gull Pond should be assumed from this page alone.
