Conference wahoo::fishing

    I know that lake like the back of my hand...But yea...If we tell
    everyone about our honey-holes they wouldn't be honey holes!!
    
    Call me...Maybe we can talk turkey...I'm looking for a little info
    
    and your looking for a little info....CAN YOU DIG IT?
    
    						The Lovable Legend;-)

    
    Ahhh  Come on, I was hoping the reply would be informative, not
    a fee for an answer  :-) , I am also heading up that way saturday
    and would be interested in any tips.  I'll be camping with my scanoe
    and no downriggers either.
    
    So how about it??!!!   What's your mailstop??, I'll send you a crispy
    new 1 dollar bill for some tips that probably won't help me anyway!!
    
    Erik_who_has_no_fingernails_to_scratch_with!
    

Ahhhh....even if you PAID the Legend (aka Rotor-Rooter) for information,
I'd STILL doubt the integrity of the info.  He's bound to send you off 
screaming up the lake and up onto a pile of sub-surface rocks.

Then he'd say..."gee, I didn't know they were there!"

Of course, if you fished from what he fishes from, you'd understand why!
(SH*T FLOATS very high in the water)

And I know DonMac isn't dumb enough to trade his honey-hole for what the 
Legend thinks is his.  I mean, who wants to fish from a toilet....except the 
Legend, that is!

-HSJ-

    So... the leper knows Ossipee.... hmm.... is one weekend worth of
    tips (?) worth giving out my HAWG producing honey of a honey hole????
    
    I think this is another ploy of the legend's to find out my secret...
    
    He probably doesn't even know where Ossipee is........
    
    RE.2   Where you camping? I'll keep an eye out for a scanoe... we'll
    be fishing from a 14ft aluminum SeaNymph, and skiing from a big blue
    bayliner, we (3 couples) are camping at Totem Pole...  maybe we'll
    run into ya.... and Legend, if your up at `your honeyhole' this
    weekend, maybe we'll run OVER ya!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Don Mac  (who will consider talking to the legend..........) 

    I think I'll be staying at Bally-Hoo, I haven't looked at the map
    yet so I'm not so sure how far it is from the lake, I may end up
    fishing Little Ossipee, that's the one near the Maine border (I
    think).  Since I'll be Scanoeing it I'd rather stay away from the
    water skiers and such and have a relaxing weekend with no wakes...
    
    SO  ARE WE GOING TO GET ANY *USELESS* TIPS OR WHAT????!!!!!
    
    (he probably thinks Ossipee is near Kissimee Fla.!)

    Don,
    I know this is probably a little late to be asking this question,
    but how did you do up at Ossipee. My club has a bass tourny there
    this May and I was wondering how the bass fishing was/is?? Any info
    you can give will be appreciated, to include ramps, etc...
    
    
    						Thanks in advance

    Hello there Jim,  Geez, that was awhile back.  Anyway, I never got
    a chance to do much bassin.  Since there was 6 (3 couples) of us, most 
    of our "fishing" was cruising around the main lake, trolling stuff on 
    top (no downriggers), hoping to catch a confused salmon - needless to
    say that wasn't very productive.  
    
    However... I did get out for an hour or so and catch a largemouth
    or two in coves off the channel that splits the lake.

   Don,
    Thanks for your response, but now what do you know about the launch
    areas and parking. I was elected to get this info for the the club.
    Our tourny is May 21st and the bad news is that it's a "no practice
    tourny" which means I get to drive up there to check it out and
    have to fish elsewhere. So the less running around that I do the
    better! 8^\  <--(this is my disgruntled look).
    
    
    						Thanks again

    Can't tell you where the public launch is, the couple times I've
    been up there we launched from Totem Pole campground... donmac

    The following is reprnted without permission form the "New Hampshire
    Fishing Maps" by C. Swasey and D. Wilson, DeLorme publishing Co.
    
    Ossipee Lake
    
    Are 3,092 acres  Max. Depth  61 ft.
    Fish:  Salmon, Lake Trout, Brook T., Pickerel, Smallmouth Bass,
    Cusk, Yellow Perch, Suckers, Hornpout, Smelt.
    
    Ossipee Lake, Leavitt Bay, aand Broad Bay may be best described
    as a large sandbowl filled with water. This lake is known primarily
    for its good salmon fishing, but also has good populations of warm
    water game fish. Good salmon fishing may be had in the spring off
    the Bearcamp River because of the large run of smelt in the river
    in early to mid April. During the summer drifted bait in the center
    of the lake will take salmon. While Leavitt Bay and Brroad Bay do
    have some lake trout, the fishing is poor. Trout fishing is best
    confined to Ossipee itself. However, the rwo bays offer good fishing
    for pearch and pickerel. Pickerel and perch fishing is also good
    in the 600 acre shoal in the southern portion of Ossipee. There
    is a public launch site on the eastern shore of the lake. A fee
    is charged for parking. Average ice out is mid April.
    
    
    
    Note: In looking at the ajoining map, I notice that the only area
    marked for smallies and bass is in the notrh end of Broad bay and
    the southeastern side of Leavitt Bay. There are marked boat ramps
    in both of those locations and a third at the channel entry of the
    bays into Ossipee itself.  Hope this was helpful.

    Appreciate the time taken to reprint that info....thanks
