1,643-acre lake near Happy Hollow. The lake tops out around 21 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
Tucker Lake maps at 1,640 acres behind 10.4 miles of shoreline. A middling shoreline index (1.8) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 92% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. The basin spans about 3.6 mi end to end and 1.4 mi across at its widest. Division No. 12 claims this one. Crane Lake sits 3 mi east — the closest neighbouring chart.
Spring burbot on Tucker Lake hold shallow, usually 6 to 21 ft. Depth-wise the year is flat: 6 to 21 ft in summer, 5 to 21 ft once it turns cold. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 21 ft that grades prime for spring. The feeding windows run after dark and midday. The summer box starts with a heavy jig + cut bait.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 6 to 21 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (21 ft) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Summer | 6 to 21 ft | night & midday | Deep basin (21 ft) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Fall | 6 to 21 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (21 ft) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Winter | 5 to 21 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (21 ft) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
In spring, lake whitefish run shallow here, mostly 6 to 21 ft. Summer keeps them at 6 to 21 ft, and they winter in 6 to 21 ft. Summer lake whitefish concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 21 ft. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 6 to 21 ft | midday & dawn | Break off the point (14 ft) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Summer | 6 to 21 ft | dawn | Deep basin (21 ft) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Fall | 6 to 21 ft | dusk | Break off the point (14 ft) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Winter | 6 to 21 ft | midday & dawn | Deep basin (21 ft) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
Early season northern pike use the shallows, holding in 2 to 8 ft. Expect a summer slide to 8 to 20 ft, then a winter hold in 5 to 15 ft. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 2 ft that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 8 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 ft) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Summer | 8 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (14 ft) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Fall | 6 to 18 ft | midday & dawn | Break off the point (14 ft) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 5 to 15 ft | midday | Main-lake point (6 ft) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: walleye in 4 to 15 ft. As the season builds they drop to 6 to 21 ft, wintering in 6 to 21 ft. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 14 ft range, prime in fall. Time it for the evening and early morning. Summer baits: a crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled) gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 4 to 15 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (6 ft) | 1/8 oz jig + minnow, Hair jig |
| Summer | 6 to 21 ft | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (14 ft) | Crawler harness on bottom bouncer, Deep crankbait (trolled) |
| Fall | 6 to 21 ft | dusk & night | Break off the point (14 ft) | Jigging rap, Jig + big minnow |
| Winter | 6 to 21 ft | dusk & dawn | Deep basin (21 ft) | Jigging spoon + minnow head, Rattle bait |
In spring, yellow perch run shallow here, mostly 3 to 12 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 6 to 21 ft, and winter fish settle into 6 to 21 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 21 ft, rated prime for fall yellow perch. Time it for early morning. You won't need more than a drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 12 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 ft) | Small jig + curly tail, Perch-pattern micro crank |
| Summer | 6 to 21 ft | dawn | Deep basin (21 ft) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small spoon tipped with worm |
| Fall | 6 to 21 ft | midday | Deep basin (21 ft) | Jigging spoon (small), Perch rig / spreader |
| Winter | 6 to 21 ft | midday & dawn | Deep basin (21 ft) | Tungsten jig + spikes, Rattle spoon (small) |
