It felt great to finally get the boat out on the open water! They are just starring to get a few ramps open! The fish we caught were all caught on a 1/8 oz gold Lindy jig pitched out shallow tipped with a fathead minnow. Sounds like the ramps here in Bismarck are being pushed today. Our long range forecast isn’t the best but we will still be able to get out there a few times in the next 10 days.
