Mid-Winter Fishing

Went out fishing at Sakakawea yesterday with some friends. It has been really cold with highs in the negatives some days but we warmed up this weekend with yesterday at 36. Still fishing was slow. We tried out by Lunds Landing, some submerged islands off in the main body at about 17 to 30 feet of water and got nothing. We then went over to the south side kind of by Tobacco Gardens but a little bit further east at the opening of this bay. We were fishing at 12 to 9 feet of water and managed one yellow perch, one pike, and one 21.5 in walleye! Saw a few other fish on the finder and had a few tipups go but to no result. Caught the fish on a yellow darting lure.

Early Catfish

Went out to Lund’s Landing again out in the Kayak. Managed two average pike, 4 average catfish, and several shiner. This was the first day I have seen both Catfish and Shiner so they must be moving in. There was a slight wind from the south and fishing was really good right at sunset on the wind side of the water casting deep.
