Go to the place Animal is talking about ...he knows .. In fact there were... many birds a workin ,sevral fish a jumpin, and a cormorant diving down deep.
There's always ice fishing, although it isn't as active as surfcasting.
I've already been out 3 times this month and gotten enough fish to keep it interesting.
