• Where to Fish on Bloggett Lake

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Species logged across Oceana County include brook trout, walleye and white sucker. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. Bloggett Lake fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about 21°F and July at about 69°F, the water has a wide range to work through. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer and winter test it. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around early April. Climate figures give an open season running early April to mid December. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. It holds true on Bloggett Lake more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. Mapping is blank for access, so scout the approach before committing the car. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Should this one be busy, Mud Lake is 1.6 miles off. Check the position on Bloggett Lake before loading the car.
