I'm sorry this report is coming at you a little late today. Kinda been a road warrior since leaving Devils Lake to get to Sakakawea. First thing I want to do is congratulate everyone who participated in the ND Governors Cup on the east end of the big lake. Sounded...
The next two weeks after this report will be combo reports for both Devils Lake and Lake Sakakawea. I've been on Sakakawea the last 30 days and now my back and forths between the two lakes begins. What's happening on Sakakawea? Well, it finally lit on fire! Water...
Lake Sakakawea is definitely one of my favorite places in world to fish. I've been fortunate enough to have spent well over 40 years learning its habits etc. This season has definitely been the exception. I've learned more about her this summer so far than most...
Once again lots of change happening up here on Sakakawea. All of the change has been a great thing however! Lots of fresh mountain runoff has been pouring into the lake. What a blessing considering we weren't supposed to get much of a ride this summer. We have way...
Is it finally here? Summer that is. We have gotten a couple warm days in a row and the water temps are climbing out of the 50's and hitting the 60's which is actually still really cold for this time of year. Since my return to Lake Sakakawea, things have been really...
I've split my time this week between Devils Lake and Lake Sakakawea. I'd say fishing has been good on both, but I still feel like we are a little off from a rockstar bite on both., Devils Lake proved itself as a top walleye fishery this week casting shallow cranks....
Now I'm definitely starting to sound like a broken record. Wind, windy, hurricane, more wind has been the story of this week. I'm honestly getting super tired of it, I ain't gonna lie. So I'll start with Devils Lake. This will be my last Devils Lake inside scoop for...
These North Dakota winds and cooler temperatures have playing havoc on Devils Lake. The water temps just won't warm up to get these on the feed. The story has been you can see a lot of fish on the electronics, but they are very difficult to get the to feed for...
I figured I would wait to put this weeks fishing report out until after the holiday. Hopefully everyone thanked a veteran for their service and everyone was out enjoying time on the water and with family. This is a North Dakota fishing report in general from the Big 3...
Well since we got cancelled my first day back up on Devils Lake I have only one day on the water for myself to report on. My first observation was the water up here is extremely clean. I mean gin clear in areas. My guess it won't last long, but for now at least for me...
Sorry this report is a day late. Been traveling to get my boat wrapped down here in Minnesota so been burning the midnight oil. Super excited to reveal the new look for Mike Peluso Outdoors & Guide Service. Anyway, my days are numbered here on the river...
Big Muddy Week has come and gone. It's always a bittersweet time for the Missouri River spring fishing. Things really slow down traffic wise for fishermen usually after the big muddy. For me it marks my days are numbered for the spring guiding on the river. Not that...
The week before the Big Muddy Fishing Report. There are no fish being caught between Cannonball River and the Wilton Boat Landing. All kidding aside, lots of changing is happening right now with the fish migration and the spawn. It's a mix of some fish have spawned...
As promised I would let you know what this weeks water temps look like. As of Saturday they had dropped anywhere from 8 to 12 degree's depending on where you were on the river. This definitely slowed things up. It slowed the spawning down and it slowed the bite a bit....
Well, it's been an interesting week on the Missouri River. So interesting in fact I almost forgot it's Fishing Report Sunday. That tends to happen when you are guiding everyday and even a double shift or two. The early portion of the week the fishing was absolutely...
The good news is we are finally in full swing this spring. The bad news is the weather really hasn't been all that great. Lots of wind making it difficult. When the weather permits however it seems the fish are willing and able. For my guide business I've been trying...
Things are just starting to get going here on the Missouri River near Bismarck. The weather has been a little up and down, but it's trying to get better and it has given us a few little windows to get out. Seems like once you are out there you will see some life. Of...
Well here we go again. I think it's a prerequisite for me that if I'm coming home from Ice Fishing, we are gonna get hit with a blizzard. So, yes here we are again. I did get out a couple times before this storm. All indications are we will have a very good spring...
