Devils Lake (Overview) - Saturday, June 25, 2011

 Made the day trip from fargo; havent been up to the big lake in over a year.   I have to admit the last times that i have fished dl -- its been on the east side exclusively.    With the ramp situation --- i did not know where to go to get on the east side -- so decided on the west.    You could not ask for a better day.   Put in at six mile and went to howards farm.   The ramp was not packed.  Fair number of pros in howards.   Bottom bounced, threw cranks and did a little bobber action.   Northerns northerns and more northerns on the cransk, one jumbo perch, no walleye.  The slips that i seen catching were small eyeballs-i went to tie up some but was unimpressed.    Moved on to New Mill-- dead sea.  Moved onto doc hagens --- more northerns but at least we end up catching a few nice eye  18 and 20.  fow 9.   Cleaning station at six mile -- we were the only guys walleye. i was very surprised, made me feel better but still not feeling good.  Spoke to a few tourney guys and they said it was tough.  By the looks of the numbers as least on the MWC side - it was very tough.

I know a lot of blame has been weather.   IMO fish always eat.    Weather has been a non issue with the MN slottos.    The amount weed cover in devils lake since i first fished it in 96 is unbelievable.   With all the new water and weeds --- what more perfect  place to put some cheap fry in greg power- my rant.    

Hope to be back up on 23 to redeem myself.  Iin the mean time were off to akaska for the 4th and up to leech for the following week.   shorthairs  keep your lines loose!
