sounds to me like you guys need to stock up on leeches in late august and then try to keep them alive throughout the fall.
 we've managed to keep about 3 dozen alive and now i wish i would've kept more cause i am done fishing out of my boat and i am pretty sure they are going to keep until we have ice in mid to late december. can't wait to finally give the go-to leeches a try thru the ice. been meaning to do this the last few years and never pulled it off. w/ my luck it will all be for naught cause they won't like em in the winter. but, it never hurts to try. |

Walynit, you speak the truth!
Yeah, I tried the bridges yesterday as planned - tried the Hwy 20, Hwy 57 and six mile bridges with not a thought of a bite. I ended the day at Halie's Hump again and mustered 2 eyes and missed another one. But literally it was a 15 minute window again from about 5:30 to 5:45 PM. I think one of my problems could have been that I had real small fatheads. In the past I have always done well on the larger fatheads like walynut talks about. As a general couple of rules of my history fishing this lake: 1.) Aside from the fact that early summer to mid summer will produce you huge numbers, April/early May is the best time to fish this lake 2.) October will give you a chance at a hawg. 3.) Never fish it in November :):) (I got my butt kicked on this lake 2 years ago in November too and swore I never would come back in November :)) Yeah I marked fish all day long and trust me friends, I was very patient. Just seemed like that 15 minute window was the olny time those fish I was marking wanted to eat. :) Either that, or simplay having large fatheads may have made the difference. Things like that matter to these fish in Devils. Trust me - Time and time again on my history on this lake, I will go from getting nothing, to making a small change and getting into the fish! Good luck to all for the rest of the year. My boat is now put away fro da winter! |

Devils Lake Fall Edition First; if you say you are gonna post a report, you better darn well do it the minute you get near a computer or else….LMAO!!! Well this report isn’t about me as my partner stole the show. Tried GH and not a lot going on pulling cranks but did mark fish in deeper water around the GH; attempted to jig’em up to no evail. Moved to Mauvee Coullee trees draggin slip bobbers while flippin’ jigs around trees. Yielded a couple 13-15 inch fish. Moved over to the Mauvee Coulee bridge; showed A LOT of fish on the Humminbird; no catchy catchy though. Moved up into Pelican and tried a past tournament spot with slip bobbers; partner pulled a 7 and a 9 then nothing else. Moved back to the Mauvee Coullee bridge at around 1 o’clock and caught eyes till around 3 O’clock slippin’ and jiggin’. Fish ranged from 16-23”. Great day to be on the water. Everything caught on very large fatheads. Two take away’s to learn from; 1- Belive your fishfinder 2- Patience!!!!!! Good Luck and Good Fishin’ |

Hey all, just got in from da Big Water! I trolled the Golden Highway, I drifted/dragged jigs on the Golden Highway and I also tried Mauvais Coulee Bridge with not a bite. I then went to Halie's Hump at 3:30 PM to finish the day out. I got one nice 17 inch walleye and had 4 other very, very light bites. 1/8 pink jig, 2 inch white twister tail, and a fathead. I wanted to move around today because it was an absolute gorgeous day. I didn't think I'd ever say this on the ol Big Water (esp in November!) but there wasn't enough wind! She was dead calm and 42 all day. But so nice to be on the water. This is God's Country my friends... Anywho, gonna go out tomorrow and I plan on hitting almost all bridges tomorrow as it should be a little more windy. I'll report when I get back.
A little birdy (bait guy at Gander Mountain actually :)) told me that the eyes are bitin on frogs... But man, a guy living in Fargo is (me) is gonna have a hard time getting ahold of these (so I settled just for fatheads). But yeah, I talked to another guy today too that said he had some luck in the morning, but then slow the rest of the day. Iam surprised it isn't better right now as the birdy also told me that it was crazy hot right now. Ha! |

Only one fish for the whole weekend I'm stumped we threw everything out there we had. Not sure if the weather messed with them or is the lake turning over there was a 8 degree temp difference across the lake. Anyone know if the lake turns over??????????????? I guess for all the fish we have caught these last two summers you have days like this that show a guy fish have you out smarted sometimes
