How big do the ling get in there? Fishing slows at ocean as the year progresses?

The ling get pretty big i think. ive caught 32+ inchers in there. The fishing slows for me after the first of the year every year. don't know why.

I have found pretty much the same thing, slow after the first of the year. Some years though it will pick back up on late ice.

Heck, last new years, we had 36 lines out and didn't catch a thing. threw everything we could think of at em and didn't make a difference!

olefish · « **Reply #43 on:** Dec 22, 2010, 01:16 PM »

I was at Ocean at littles yesterday getting minnows and he states they catch some every day out infront of his house?

?? I have not tried it in person but thats what he said.

Well Friday is my day....I have not been tweaking by gear like Branded but I have been anxious to get out....

I fished out from long point this weekend and got into the wallys while pluggin away a chubby darters and 1.5" tube jigs. The biggest went a hair over 4#. Good luck to anyone who heads out this weekend. From the sounds of it, there ought to be a large concentration of fisherman out there.

branded · « **Reply #48 on:** Dec 23, 2010, 05:59 AM »

Hey Farmer, I will be in the south cove area also. Will have a bright red shanty, come on over and say HI. Going out mainly to test all my equipment and see if I can get a walleye or 2.
Rumdrinker, I know all about you. Lookin forward to fishin with ya again, finally. Last time was early part of 2009. The hard time is behind us now let the games begin.

branded · « **Reply #49 on:** Dec 23, 2010, 06:30 AM »

The red ice shanty on the ice is pretty generic. Kind of like the white house on the north end of town. Farmer, look for the U. S. flag.

branded · « **Reply #50 on:** Dec 23, 2010, 07:01 AM »

Rumdrinker- if you have time copy me off the latest version of lake maps and the rhino software. I am still in the dinosauer age with my maps etc. Just keep this in mind--no maps and software--no holes... Your choice..

I am heading out that way from South Dakota today, and hope to get a day of fishing in at Ocean. If ya'll don't mind a fellow fishing junky from out of state sharing a little piece of ice with ya, come over and say hello. I will probably be by myself, will be driving a green subaru with SD plates, and wearing carhart bibs, with an old green camo parka. Can you use credit/debit cards at the bait shops on the lake? or is it cash only? also i am not exactly sure where the bait shops are located on the lake, so some help will be appreciated there. I plan on fishing south of longs pt, if there is any room.

Gatenbein

only takes cash. all his info should be in the info thread. mapquest should get ya to his place if you don't have gps in your truck. if you'll let me know when you're headed out, i might be able to meet ya and show ya his place. $5/doz. for shiners. and just because you are from out of state dosn't mean anything as far as i'm concerned. you are welcome here. see ya soon.!
