• Where to Fish on Broad Street Lake

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. Species logged across Gloucester County include bluegill, pumpkinseed and redbreast sunfish. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. Take Broad Street Lake a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 77°F and January near 32°F on the long-run figures. The calendar is generous: something works in nearly every month. In a normal year the cover is thin and short-lived. Late winter often fishes better here than midsummer does. Anyone fishing Broad Street Lake regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. A slipway is marked about half a mile from here. Mapping shows parking within half a mile. Public data records a pier about half a mile out. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Stewart Lake at 0.5 miles is the sensible second choice. For Broad Street Lake, the notice at the access point is the final word.
