I wish I had a better report for everyone. I know since the cold snap we have experienced up here in North Dakota the fishing has definitely gotten tougher, especially if you want to catch perch.

The walleyes however have been saving the day…somewhat. It seems like certain areas especially up here on Devils Lake the walleyes will corporate if in those areas. But it does seem if you catch them on a spot one morning, the next morning it’s tough.

The perch still haven’t bunched up and settled in yet. I feel like they are roaming around the lake in smaller pods at the moment. If you get on top of one of those smaller pods you will catch a few. Problem is they are on the move and not staying out. Plan to drill baby drill!

Same story I always say for the walleyes, use a buckshot type bait with a minnow head or load it up with spikes. If you are trying to coax a perch to eat your best bet is a small tungsten also loaded up with spikes.

I have a few openings in February and March. If you are looking at fishing up here and don’t want the hassle get ahold of me and we will see if we can make something work for you.
