So this report isn't gonna talk much about fishing. I will put a little bit about it in here, but my main focus is to thank everyone who has taken the time to send me a message, support my go fund me, or a quick call or text. So if this one gets a little longer bare...
Just because I've been laid up in a hospital the second half of the week. Doesn't mean I can't get you a decent fishing report. I've had a goofy week of fishing to say the least. The weather was my first obstacle. Lots of rain and wind early in the...
So this fishing report will be for both Lake Sakakawea and Devils Lake. I spent half the week on Sak and the other half on Devils. Amazing to think it's already the end of July and we are closing into what most people consider the dog days of walleye fishing....
It's definitely been a curveball up here on Sakakawea. East winds, more east winds and goofy weather has made me have to move around more than weeks past. Sometimes you land on the bite right away. Other days it takes a little while to track down what I'm...
What a crazy week up here on Lake Sakakawea! I don't know if the ND Game and Fish know this yet, but your management of this walleye gem is really shining right now! Especially on the east end of the lake! I've been able to mix and match my trips as of...
As a kid and I guess it's kinda true today, but the 4th of July always marked we are on the second half of summer. For me it was more like the end of it cause I was closing in on heading back to hockey. Fast forward to today and it's crazy to think kids...
Hard to wrap my head around the fact it's almost the 4th of July. The water temps just haven't really risen yet like years past. I feel like we are 2 weeks behind the average. Now I am not complaining about us being behind schedule weather...
Lots happening here as far as fishing goes here in North Dakota. I made the move over to Lake Sakakawea over a week ago. Crazy how much the big lake has changed in that short period of time. We are seeing some runoff coming into the lake right now. ...
I'm not sure where the time goes? It feels like just yesterday I was writing my first report for the open water season on the Missouri River near Bismarck. Fast forward and now I've made the transition over to Lake Sakakawea from Devils Lake. Crazy...
Just another up and down week up here on Devils Lake. Seems like the fish are starting to transition a little and pulling out to main lake structures. Of course there is still a casting and pitching bite happening. As things move forward here, more...
What a difference a little wind makes. We haven't had much wind up here on Devils Lake, but the little bit we have gotten the past 7 days has made a drastic improvement in the fishes moods. I definitely won't say it's rockstar status yet, but at times it's...
Well, a lot has happened since the last fishing report! I've made my way over to Devils Lake for about a 22 day push before I head over to Sakakawea. I've also excepted a winter job that will take me away from the winter guiding side of things. I won't be...
Muddy waters and lots of wind and rain have been the story for this week. It's caused a few cancellations which has actually kept me off the water for the past couple of days. We did fish the reel n rec tournament this past Saturday and to my surprise we...
Sorry I'm getting this one out a little later. I was over on Devils Lake this weekend fishing the Aim Walleye event. This report will talk a little about the river here near Bismarck and also a little Devils Lake. I'll start with Devils Lake. ...
Hard to believe how fast this spring is going. It feels like just yesterday I walking down to the river infront of my house to look at the river with ice chunks still floating and the shorelines still white. The Big Muddy walleye tournament is always the...
What a week out here on the Missouri River near Bismarck! I had guide and tournament partner Jason Feldner out this week. Between guiding and pre fishing for the Aim tournament we logged a lot of hours on the water. Jason and I were supposed to fish...
Lots of changes keep happening out here on the Missouri River near Bismarck. The biggest has been water temps due to the changes in weather. Early part of the week things were good with slowly climbing temps. In fact, I kept hearing of even a few walleyes that were...
It feels as though this week things are all the sudden ahead of schedule. Water temps have climbed and the males are milking. My guess is things will slow a bit with the rains, winds, and cooler temperatures. Seems like a good mix of fish are...
