    shorefished with the kids at Ft. Stevenson saturday.  Used nightcrawlers on lindys, bobbers, and jigs.  fished flooded grass areas.  managed to reel in 5 20" walleyes, missed quite a few others at shore since the little ones aren't real good at setting hooks yet.  also caught several drum, catfish, smallmouth bass, goldeyes, lots of perch (some 8 to 9"), carp, white suckers.

    the ice conditions at government bay are the best they have been all year two feet of hard stuff and growing fishing is very slow though.  There is a huge pressure ridge off point that has opened up keeping people from going around the point.

     Went out of Govt Bay and fished some of the smaller bays a ways off. Caught one nice walleye in 17', one about 4" long, and had a ton a little 4" perch bites in around 10' of water. Fished mostly near the flooded trees. And caught the usual stupid shiners in 30'. Wind wasn't strong but made trolling a little more difficult.

    fished out of lake sakakawea state park wednesday. Limited out on walleyes. all 19-22 inches, nothing smaller or bigger. they all came from different spots.  I also caught some nice small mouth, a white bass I should have weghted & the normal garbage. Caught the majority on jigs & crawlers from 2 feet to 18 feet. caught 2 using slip bobber. I also caught 2 smallmouth & 1 walleye casting a jig into shallow water with slow retrieve. I seen a man at the cleaning station with a salmon that must have weighted 15 to 20 lbs. It was a very healthy fat fish. the fish are finding something to eat in the lake. I hope this is a sigh of things to come.

    Fished Sunday (7/11) out of Ft. Stevens – hit the water at 3PM … figured it would be tough due to the prior night’s weather front … No biters in shallow (8’ to 16’). Slowed down to .2 ~ .3 MPH running a mix of lindys (w/ floaters) and plain jigs (ran a mix of leaches, crawlers, and fin bait) Found active fish in 28’ – 32’. First fish in the boat at 6:30 PM. Slow but steady bite until 8:30 PM

    4 Walleye, 2 Sauger … Leaches on chartreuse/black ½ ounce jig heads gave the best results.
