Rating depth structure for brown bullhead.
Recent public catches load as you reach this section.
71-acre lake near St. Louis County. The lake tops out around 17 ft. The depth picture is modeled, anchored to the true shoreline and the water's published max depth — a scouting aid, never a chart to run a boat by. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
On the chart, Cameron draws 71 acres inside 1.4 miles of shoreline. Its 1.2 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. 86% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water. End to end it runs roughly 0.5 mi, about 0.3 mi across. The water lies in St. Louis County. For a second option, Sunshine lies 1 mi northwest.
Start shallow in spring: brown bullhead sit in 2 to 8 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 3 to 12 ft, and winter fish settle into 5 to 17 ft. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 14 ft of water that rates prime for brown bullhead in winter. Warm-month bites cluster around after dark and the evening.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 8 ft | dusk & night | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | |
| Summer | 3 to 12 ft | night & dusk | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | |
| Fall | 5 to 15 ft | dusk | Deep basin (14 ft) | |
| Winter | 5 to 17 ft chart-limited; documented 10 to 25 ft | midday | Deep basin (14 ft) |
Count 5 structure marks on this chart. The deepest, Deep basin, sits near 14 ft.
