5-acre lake near Northesk Parish. Government of New Brunswick lake depth survey. The lake tops out around 13 ft. The contours are modeled from the water's real shoreline and maximum depth. Treat them as a rough guide, and never use them for navigation. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
The outline encloses 5 acres, worked by 0.3 miles of shoreline. The basin is a simple one (shoreline index 1.1) — close to a bowl, so the structure on the chart matters more than the bank. The whole water is littoral — nothing here runs deeper than ~15 ft, so it's all weed-and-bait territory. It sits in Northumberland County. If the bite dies, Estey Lake is 4 mi to the southwest.
Come spring, look for smallmouth bass tight to the bank in 3 to 12 ft. They move out to 4 to 13.1 ft in summer and finish the year down in 4 to 13.1 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Main-lake point: a point around 8 ft that scores prime in fall. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A drop shot (goby/minnow) or a ned rig is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 12 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Ned rig, Tube jig |
| Summer | 4 to 13.1 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (6 ft) | Drop shot (goby/minnow), Ned rig |
| Fall | 4 to 13.1 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Jerkbait, Blade bait |
| Winter | 4 to 13.1 ft | midday | Break off the point (6 ft) | Blade bait, Hair jig |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: chain pickerel in 2 to 10 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 3 to 13.1 ft before dropping to 4 to 13.1 ft for winter. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 6 ft of water that rates prime for chain pickerel in fall. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a weedless spoon + trailer or a buzzbait gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 10 ft | midday & dawn | open water | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon (red/white) |
| Summer | 3 to 13.1 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (6 ft) | Weedless spoon + trailer, Buzzbait |
| Fall | 3 to 13.1 ft | midday & dawn | Break off the point (6 ft) | Jerkbait along weed edges, Spinnerbait |
| Winter | 4 to 13.1 ft | dawn | Break off the point (6 ft) | Jigging spoon (through ice) |
Start shallow in spring: yellow perch sit in 3 to 12 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 4 to 13.1 ft; cold water stacks them in 4 to 13.1 ft. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 11 ft range, prime in fall. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 12 ft | midday & dawn | open water | Small jig + curly tail, Perch-pattern micro crank |
| Summer | 4 to 13.1 ft | dawn | Deep basin (11 ft) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small spoon tipped with worm |
| Fall | 4 to 13.1 ft | midday | Deep basin (11 ft) | Jigging spoon (small), Perch rig / spreader |
| Winter | 4 to 13.1 ft | midday & dawn | Deep basin (11 ft) | Tungsten jig + spikes, Rattle spoon (small) |
