Hi all, fished Cooney on sat. from 11:30 am till 10:30 pm. Caught two small ling right off the bat, then nothing till sundown. then the ling bite really picked up and we kept 9 nice ones, landed 12, lost 3 and had a number of bites. Fun night. We were by the dam in 35 to 40 FOW. Mo.
More and more ling are starting to bite, 14-30ft water. They are all over the place really. The walleye are there also but are real timid. The ling spawn in 3 weeks, so the next 2 weeks should be fun for ling. The walleye out there get better the last week of Feb. I have caught ling and seen eyes swimming around. Saw a real nice eye swim by. It's funny when that happens, it about as exicting as catching one. I said about! Also seen some nice bows swimming. But I really dont fish for them.
Internet, They should spawn between January and Febuary. Ive heard from others it is usually Febuary. Water temp really does not matter when there is ice covering the lake...
