Kandle Lake in Gloucester County: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Gloucester County, New Jersey, is where Kandle Lake sits. Beyond the shoreline you have rolling hill. It covers about 12 acres, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. Glassboro is the closest town at 2.4 miles. Philadelphia is the closest city, 16 miles away. A county boundary sits nearby, which can matter for local access rules.

• Where to Fish on Kandle Lake

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Across Gloucester County, recorded fish include bluegill, pumpkinseed, redbreast sunfish, largemouth bass and brown bullhead. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. At Kandle Lake the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from 32°F in January up to 76°F in July. Mild ends to the year keep the season long. Hard water here is never dependable, so check for yourself before stepping out. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to fish here. At Kandle Lake the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. Parking is not close: half a mile from the bank, and no nearer option is mapped. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Spring Lake at 0.8 miles is the sensible second choice. Check the position on Kandle Lake before loading the car.
