Gull is already changing the walleye are taking over this last winter was worst for catching perch and whites... going to be just like pigeon lake soon

Went out today caught 17 walleye 2 pike between two of us. Biggest walleye was 60cm 5lbs. Great day to fill our tags.

I also fished there on the long weekend with about the same success. Steady catch but not crazy. On the other hand I am happy about the walleye tags being handed out. I watched lac ste Anne go through the same process where there were few walleye the numbers increased after the 0 limit. Then the fish got big and heathy. Caught many walleye in the five pound range and some even larger. This unfortunately only lasted a few years then I started no notice we were catching very few pike and the ones we did were long and skinny. Sick looking. Within the next few years the walleye were everywhere. The perch were gone and the walleye seemed stunted in size. All the same and way to many of them. I feel like the lake should have been opened long before we got to that point. Hopefully with proper management on Gull the fishery will provide a lasting healthy population of all species of fish.

Fished with kids here a few hours on the 3rd & 4th. Fishing was steady... not great not poor. Nothing like last year, roughly 30 fish between the 3 of us in 2 hours each day. 4 pike rest were walleye. Biggest walleye 56cm, majority of walleye were beautiful thick healthy fish in that 45-50cm range. I can't help but think they are handing out WAY too many tags. Everyone you talk to has tags, I could be missing something but why give out tags to keep them bigger breeding females in that 48cm plus range? My guess is it'll be a closed zero limit within the next 3-5 years and we'll go back to the days of early 2000's where you fished all day and we're lucky to catch 1-2 walleye.

Fished with my Grandson on Canada Day Weekend. Caught pike and walleye on jigs and walleye divers. One 32" pike. All were catch and release. I have seen a number of negative reviews regarding making the lake catch and release however

RE.Qestion by SHANE MOORE. the carp in the blindman are easy to catch on a copper wire worm and maggot . We use a slip bobber and set it so we are slowly drifting it 6" or so off . bottom . We used bread doe in Enland to catch carp however bait restrictions here prevent that . Once you find a area they are in you can expect to catch loads of them . Lots of fun .look for slightly deeper pools and slower water.

That's what to know about gull lake! Enjoy the video guys! https://youtu.be/Vqbpiz6tiUE

Thanks Fishing365!

You have to camp there to use that launch at lake view. The east launch at aspen beach is public the west one is for brewers campground users.

is the boat launch on Aspen beach lakeview campground public accessible?

is Aspen beach lakeview campground public accessible?

Fishing is awesome on the lake. North of Aspen beach. Filled all 3 tags for Walleye in less then an hour all were between 45-50cms. Drak green jighead with a dew worm.

what did you use to catch the carp?

Lots of Walleye. 2-3 lbs

After hearing about carp near the pump station in blindman river I decided to try and catch some . Well today my daughter and I caught 16 carp on west side of Hwy 20 beside the bridge. Some were 14.5" long . I am glad the pumps are off and hope they never get turned back on . Better gull lake be low water than full of carp .

Thanks to the bucket bridage, every lake, pond, reservior will soon be a home to Prussian carp. I fished a different lake last year only stocked with trout and couldn't believe there was a carp on the end of the hook. There should not be carp here...... The bucket bridage have destroyed our fishing industry.......

when they open up the pike again, is it going to be another cash grab draw thing again?.. and now they are saying there is a good chance goldfish have been introduced to gull... wtf!!!

the walleye are back in good numbers, and the pike,and all other fish are disappearing.. could it be that the walleye are overpopulated now, and are decimating the other fish? but of course, we can keep 1 for the year if we go into the stupid cash grab draw.. sounds about right...

What you said make absolute sense Catch-em. Why can’t the Alberta FW see that?

The zero pike limit doesnt bother me to much if there is a problem with the growth or population of the them I don't want them disappearing what I dont understand is why Alberta FW take so long to fig this out this should have been seen years ago and changed keep limit from 3 to 1 years ago and the anglers who wish to keep 1 are able to and still have sustained the pike population I think some of the keep limits on some species are to high across Alberta and other keep limits of some species are zero that should be brought up to be able to keep 1

Didn’t catch any whites past 3 years, with the pike limit being ZERO per the 2018 fishing regulation, I’m going to write off Gull Lake for fishing. 😭

ice is 33 to 34 inches thick. (shovel to ice befor drilling!) no fish in 15 fow no fish in 12 fow saw 1 pike and 1 perch just off if left side of brownlows entrance. if anyone is out till dark go left at brownlows entrance just get infront of first weed bed try it. I didn't. and that where the pike and perch came from. I'm guess find 2 to 4 fow. good luck I was in 6 fow when I finally saw some fish

Thinking about heading out tomorrow for last day. Is an auger extension required?

New 2018 Reg says no keeper for any pike at Gull.

We were out Saturday saw lots of nice fish caught a few 3 pound walleye and some big mama perch we released all fish. Brownlows access was good in the morning but by the end of the day it was soft and you had to giver to get out. I will be out again for the last 2 days im the guy in the red igloo 10 man Im always shovelling my black SUV out cause all wheel drive sucks!

Hows the access onto Brownlows?...I know you guys have way more snow than up here. thx in advance

The water isnt to murky at sunny side on Sunday we could see pretty well I am not to sure of other areas though

is the water murky at gull or is it clearing up?

As for fish activity, it was slow last Thursday. Saw couple whites, couple perches, and one pike at 8 fow south of Sandy point. I think fish are still in the deep water still. Where do you guys find them?

For the gentleman with the white Ford truck, thank you so much for bulling me out last Thursday. Those towing service guys were useless and charged me too much, but it was you who saved the day. Thanks again. As for Ice condition guys, there was 3 ft of solid ice as of Mar 22. But it was the foot of snow above ice that made driving on the lake a nightmare. So for you guys planning to go to Gull, stay with the crowd and do not take the risk of reaching the far spots cuz being stuck on the ice far from the crowd is Not fun

Ice Report: 36 in
Yes you can drive on ice lots of trucks out there

Ice Report: 36 in
Bring your extension for the auger

Hi Catch-em, Can you drive on the lake? Or saw any truck on the lake?

Hey patzaz I was at sunny side fishing was ok caught 4 pike 1 walleye seen on camera 8 other pike plus lots of small perch snow is deep but keep on the tracks of other people it's not to bad ice was 36 inches

Any reports from north side of lake??? Parkland?? Fishing, access, snow?? I take it an extensions needed.

Going here again tommorow we had some luck last weekend. I have some nice bowls marked on gps but with all the snow it is tough to get there.

Lake has been dead for weeks, whites have finally shown up.

Sorry wasn't worried about fish and game just the fact that the fishing sucked that's all

It's pretty simple guys, if you're suspecting poaching activities call Report a Poacher. Can't turn a blind eye, this individuals need to deal with the consequences of their actions.

Exactly Zoltrix! I welcome the fish cops, too many not following the regs. If we want to preserve the sport more folks need to respect the regs. Last year, on the final day of the season, the guys next to us were keeping everything. Fish and Wildlife showed up and seized a bag full, truly unfortunate.

Personally I'd like to see fish and game more. Haven't for two seasons now. I know of a group here, and at pine that keeps everything they pull up. I would like for my kids to fish, and teach kids of their own one day.

Dslug not sure why getting checked by fish and wildlife officers 2 or 3 times would suck. If everyone follows the regs there's nothing to fear.

Was out yesterday caught one walleye never seen another fish all day this lake really sucks got checked out by fish and wildlife twice and seen a third one heading there on our way home going elsewhere next time

Ice Report: 34 in
Just got our here for the first time and ice is nice and thick

Was there yesterday Sandy point access. Got a 30 inch 5lb pike on a white snap rap and a 25 inch burbot 3lbs On tip up. Ice was thick and pretty much buried the auger. Great weather and a great day out. A bit slow as far as action but one is better than none and anything more is amazing! Hope to see you out there!

What's working for the whites lately?

Bring your sled if your unsure.

Headed there tomorrow, wondering about access to lake with all the snow we got. Anyone out today? Should I bring my sled or chance taking the truck on the lake. First time here so any info would be great!
