Bass

When largemouth bass hold tight to cover on Ocean County Park Lake (Lake Fishigan), a compact jig or weedless worm is more useful than repeated open-water casts.

Crappie, Perch and Sunfish

For Ocean County Park Lake (Lake Fishigan) crappie, hold a 1/16-ounce jig or minnow beside wood instead of dragging it through snags. Bluegill in Ocean County Park Lake (Lake Fishigan) are practical targets with a worm or small jig suspended beside shallow cover. Yellow perch in Ocean County Park Lake (Lake Fishigan) are commonly caught with a small jig tipped with a minnow or worm near bottom.

Chain Pickerel

For Ocean County Park Lake (Lake Fishigan) pickerel, cover weed edges with a flashy moving lure and use a short leader when bite-offs become common.

A Simple Fishing Plan for Ocean County Park Lake (Lake Fishigan)

Start with an easy-to-repeat feature, such as a point, creek turn or outside weed edge on Ocean County Park Lake (Lake Fishigan). Then compare vegetation, shaded shoreline and changes from soft to firm bottom around Ocean County Park Lake (Lake Fishigan) before searching open water.

When to Fish Ocean County Park Lake (Lake Fishigan)

Spring at Ocean County Park Lake (Lake Fishigan) favors warming coves, feeder mouths and protected spawning banks.
