• Where to Fish on Cedar Lake

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Survey and observation records for Gloucester County include bluegill, pumpkinseed and redbreast sunfish. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. Fish Cedar Lake to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 76°F and January reads 32°F. Whether it freezes depends on the year. In a normal year the cover is thin and short-lived. Spring and autumn carry the year; summer squeezes it into the ends of the day. It holds true on Cedar Lake more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. A parking area is marked roughly half a mile out. There is a jetty 50 yards off, worth knowing on a busy day. Toilets show in mapping about half a mile away. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Failing this one, try Kressey Lake, 0.7 miles away. The position on Cedar Lake is worth confirming on the day.
