2,609-acre lake near Crystal Springs. The lake tops out around 24 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. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
On the chart, Jumping Lake draws 2,603 acres inside 8 miles of shoreline. Its 1.1 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. Roughly 74% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives. Call it 2.8 mi long by 2 mi wide at the broadest reach. You'll find it in Division No. 15. For a second option, Struthers Lake lies 9 mi east.
Come spring, look for walleye tight to the bank in 4 to 15 ft. Expect a summer slide to 7 to 24 ft, then a winter hold in 7 to 24 ft. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 11 ft of water and rates prime come fall. Prime time lands in the evening and early morning. A crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled) is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 4 to 15 ft | dusk & dawn | Gravel shoal (2 ft) | 1/8 oz jig + minnow, Hair jig |
| Summer | 7 to 24 ft | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (11 ft) | Crawler harness on bottom bouncer, Deep crankbait (trolled) |
| Fall | 7 to 24 ft | dusk & night | Break off the point (11 ft) | Jigging rap, Jig + big minnow |
| Winter | 7 to 24 ft | dusk & dawn | Deep basin (20 ft) | Jigging spoon + minnow head, Rattle bait |
Count 11 structure marks on this chart. The deepest, Deep basin, sits near 20 ft.
