Bullock Lake near Pearl River: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Bullock Lake is listed under Saint Tammany Parish, Louisiana. It lies 39 feet above sea level. At 3 acres it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. Pearl River lies 3.7 miles from the water. The big place round here is New Orleans, 34 miles distant. Local rules may differ a few miles either side of here.

• Where to Fish on Bullock Lake

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Fish reported in the area, according to open records, include blue catfish, longnose gar, gizzard shad and gulf logperch. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. Work Bullock Lake in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 81°F and January near 50°F on the long-run figures. Fish feed through every month here. Shade and hour of day matter more than month. Spring and autumn carry the year; summer squeezes it into the ends of the day. The season on Bullock Lake rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. There is no recorded infrastructure here; expect to find your own way in. Catfish want bait on the bottom: cut bait or worms, a simple running rig, and patience after dark. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Scarborough Lake at 1.1 miles is the sensible second choice. Nothing on Bullock Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
