All rights reserved. That all points to another banner year. The water was in much better shape and again we did a lot looking for spots and managed to get 3 nice eater size walleye and several small pike. The level of the water is rising fast hear too and I think if ya give it a little time it will be good once it levels off. Crank baits and vertical jigging seem to be about the best option for catching these fish. Hopefully it's not completely over for the season! Minnows a still strong here but I expect that to change soon but if you go now better take both. Still getting a few fish to bite but definitely off from the week before and the females we catch are spawned out. I just picked up a 2012 Lund 2075 PRO V. This will give me a lot more fishing space than the other boat and I will be able to offer 4 person trips now much easier. Spring fishing is very close and I'm pretty sure we will be fishing the river around Bismarck by the weekend if we can get the ramps opened up anyway. Report; 4/10/2017. The ice fishing is really getting going now for those that have been out. It's pretty easy to 30 or 40 of these in a couple hours in some spots. Walleyes fair to good. The walleye we caught all came on crawlers and spinners. Sunday morning we found a good bite on shell island in about 15 feet that only lasted till about 9am. Bottom bouncers and crawlers will keep the rods busy in the same depths. It's also time to start thinking about Jigging. The river around Bismarck has cleaned up and the fish are biting! Lake Oahe should be very good as well. I think the effects of that will be minimal. I think there are plenty of ways to catch these fish right now so don't get stuck on one presentation. • I fished from Sunday the 16th to Wednesday the 19th and everyday was very good except for maybe Sunday as the wind was pretty bad and I didn't feel like getting pounded by the waves so we stayed out of the wind and still did pretty good. I have been hearing some good reports on the Missouri river in the Hazelton area with some nice fish being caught up to 20 inches although there are a lot of small fish in the mix as well. All in all it was a good couple of days on the water after a very long off season! The River is good in the Hazelton area with some nice fish being caught. Saturday was a little windy so we stayed pretty close to the north end of the arm. February has been pretty nice so far and we have been able to spend some time up on the tailrace section of the Missouri river below the garrison dam. Saw plenty of limits of good eater size fish this week as well and we are still in prespawn. Limits were the norm. Always a good idea to pitch to the shallows and work it back slowly as well, caught a few doing that as well. I have been hearing very good reports from Lake Sakakawea the last few days as well. I'm still hearing reports of fish being caught as shallow as 5 feet and as deep as 40 so keep your mind open to different techniques, now is the time to learn a different way to catch them. Some really big fish are being caught right now, with a perfect mix of eaters and other species.If your looking to go fishing email me at mikepelusooutdoors@gmail.com, Thank you, my brothers from Idaho are coming to fish with me up on the big lake and I could use some really good pointers to impress them. There are plenty of smaller fish here and there in the 10 to 14 inch range, good for the future! Sounds like 30 feet or so is getting some decent fish here and there with a lot of little ones still around but if ya work at it you can take a decent limit. A nice mix of fish and the fish are following the wind and the water temps.Pay super close attention to the water temps. I decided on the Newtown area to the north of the bridge. Jigs and minnows have been our bait of choice but plastics will start to work now too as spring gets closer. Well the spawn is in full swing here on the Missouri River. Jigs and minnows will take some fish as well, as always keep you mind open and don't get caught up on any one thing. In the morning its was either a slow death hook or a plain snell but by noon or so it changed to a spinner bite. I fished Friday, Saturday and Sunday in the Van Hook and Newtown area. Sorry for the missed report last week, just couldn't get it done. that's well over a pound about the record fish that was caught last year in the Missouri River not far from the mouth of the Heart River. Once you find the fish (we found the fish behind sunken sand bars) working the baits upstream at a speed of .5 mph and making sure you are in contact with the bottom will get the fish to bite. This is all good as it will give us a little more time to enjoy the pre spawn bite a little longer. Sunday we went to Sakakawea for some salmon fishing and had a little success right away with two bites and two fish in the boat. Keep your options open and look at all depths. As the water warms this week and the river level stabilizes we should see a big improvement in fishing. Try shallow flats with jigs and minnows, pitching, vertical, and dragging should all take fish in the next couple weeks. The only difference is if you can get in a spot that hasn't had a lot of pressure you can do pretty well but those are hard to find, still plenty of boats out. Still fish to be caught and still have to sort through a lot of small fish to take a decent limit. The Missouri river and lake Oahe have been doing pretty well the last couple weeks. Tight lines. The fish were right in the fast currant so don't be afraid to try that. Water temps have been anywhere from 38 to 45 degrees the last 3 days so that make a big difference in fish mood I think. Just keep moving till ya find some fish and you should do fine. ​   Made it out on the water yesterday and the fishing was pretty slow. The fish have been on the move all month and a spot that produces one day will more than likely lay an egg the next day. Keep watching for updates on the river condition, I will post a report as conditions change. Any changes and updates on managed lakes appear on the Game and Fish Department’s website. Don't be afraid to go a little deeper or shallower, we caught a few fish as shallow as 10 feet and as deep as 35 feet, the fish are still a little scattered. Depths have been from 20 feet to 45 feet with some guys going as deep as 65. Hopefully the temps rebound quickly and we can get after it next week.
