January 21st fishing Report Devils Lake

The bite for us on Devils Lake was spotty at best. We chased the perch most of the day on Saturday, only to get on them late in the day somewhat running out of time. We shifted areas and concentrated on the walleyes both morning and night. The perch we found were in 38 to 45 foot of water. The walleyes we found were caught in 18 foot of water. Also some of our group was spearing pike. They actually did pretty well in 7 to 10 foot of water both spearing and tip ups.
