Outside Bobs Pond Fishing in Red Harbour, Newfoundland and Labrador

• Overview

  Red Harbour in Newfoundland and Labrador is where Outside Bobs Pond sits. Height above sea level is 143 metres. It covers about 8 hectares, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. Marystown lies 18 km from the water. Burin follows at 28 km, then St. Lawrence at 51 km. Rules here are straightforward: one set of provincial rules.

• Where to Fish on Outside Bobs Pond

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. The shape of Outside Bobs Pond decides where the fish sit. Sunken timber holds fish, but costs tackle; go in prepared.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect August to average close to 16°C, with February the cold end at about -6°C. Expect a real winter and a strong spring after it. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly late April. Averages suggest open water from about late April through to roughly mid December. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. Expect Outside Bobs Pond to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. There is no recorded infrastructure here; expect to find your own way in. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Uncle Johns Pond, 3.6 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Signs at Outside Bobs Pond carry more weight than any list.
