• Where to Fish on Sunfish Lake

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Reported across Ramsey County: bluegill, common carp, black crappie and largemouth bass. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Sunfish Lake fishes better once you know its edges.

  The warmest month averages 73°F, the coldest about 13°F. Four clear seasons, with a proper winter at one end. Hard cover is dependable here; it goes around early April.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. Parking is close: a car park sits half a mile from the bank. Mapping records toilets within half a mile. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. For a change of water, Karth Lake is 0.4 miles distant. None of that is settled for Sunfish Lake in what we hold.
