Wilson Lake Gloucster County
 

Just got back from there on a questionable weather day and my friend and I walked away with 22 total catches and about 7-8 other misses in underline 4 hrs. The lake is crawling with pickrel. We caught 20 in total. Ranging in size from tiny to big(5 lbs id say). I also caught a nice around 2.5 lb big mouth while my friend caught a 3 lb smallmouth right under our feet from the dock. Great lake, highly recommended if anyone is in the area.

sounds like a good time. a 5# pickerel is ~28" long, that how big the ones you got today?

Re: Wilson Lake Gloucster County
 

Hmmm maybe I overestimated lol....typical fish story. I would say the longest was 14-16 inches. Definitely some good sized fish in the lake though.

For reference TM:

This one went about 4-4.5lbs. About 26".

Oh wow....nice fish. I can usually give a good educated guess on bass weight, but apparently I'm way off on pickrel lol. I'd say we caught 2 that were about 1/2 that size. I just figured that since they were so long they'd weigh a decent amount...guess not. Lesson learned.

I think he just wanted that sangwich in your tackle box.

Re: Wilson Lake Gloucster County
 

Thanks. I had to put a choke hold on that slime dart or else he would've escaped. Real strong fish.

My estimations are getting better on bass, but still quite off. Guess I still have to catch some more!



He could've had it. I don't remember it being too good. :D

I fished there 30 years ago when I was just a youngin - lived close by

Glad to see it is still producing

Wonder if any of my old "secret" spots are around, HAW!

Re: Wilson Lake Gloucster County
 

Hmmm care to pass on some of these secret spots?
