Gull Pond near Victoria: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Gull Pond stands in Old Perlican, Newfoundland and Labrador. Land around it is lake country bush. About 3 hectares of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Old Perlican. The town to know is Victoria, 32 km out. Carbonear is 34 km away, with Pouch Cove at 34 km. No border sits close enough to matter.

• Where to Fish on Gull Pond

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Records held for Old Perlican cover bull-rout and longhorn sculpin. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. The near bank of Gull Pond is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  August is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 16°C, while February sits near -6°C. Winter shuts things down for a spell, then spring reopens them fast. Break-up comes around late April, and the run that follows is short and strong. Break-up sits around late April on average, with the water closing again about mid December. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. At Gull Pond the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. A light spinning outfit with a small box of lures and some bait covers most of what swims here. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Should this one be busy, Boar Pond is 1.5 km off. None of that is settled for Gull Pond in what we hold.
