I went down to Hazelton again last Thursday about 12:00 again being i had so much fun the Sunday before. I had an excleeent start to the day catching a 25 1/2" walleye on my first drift which i released. I should have gotten a weight on it. I didnt net another fish until about 3 o'clock which was an 18" eye. So i only ended up with one for the fryin pan. It was a little chilly out with the wind and no sun, but a fun day to be out again. As a bonus tro the trip, on the way home i picked up a rooster on some corp land so i did complete the Fin and Feather challenge. I might have to get out one more time this week if the weather permits.

Fished the Ft. Yates area, and caught our limit today. Nice fish, & we released a 7 lb fish. It was foul hooked, my buddy hooked it in the tail, on a jig! I never seen that before. We hooked most our fish deep in the channel, 24-40 ft, blue jig and minnows. I tried going to the PK casino ramp Thr. but the gate was locked. I couldn't put in at Yates because I was alone, and the dock hasn't been pushed in the water for 2 months, and is out of the water, so today with two people no dock isn't a problem. We might have released the 2 5 lber's but they were phized, we brought them up too fast out of the deep. The 7 lber took a while being hooked in the tail. He thought he had a 12 lber the way it was hooked. Oh, and next time I'll remember my net. I can't believe we got every fish in without one.

Decided to get out to what might be the last time in a boat this afternoon. Put in at the Hazelton Boat Ramp. The ramp is really great now with the new asphalt parking lot; nice job Game and Fish/Sate of ND. I got in the water right a 12:00 and by 12:15 i had 1-20" eye in the well and lost 2 at the boat. (Had some troubles with the net being i was alonein the boat.) Once i figured the net business out it didn't take long to fill my limit. I ended up with the one 20", two 19", and two 18" walleyes in 2 1/2 hours. I talked to some other fisherman and they said it was pretty slow with a lot of small northerns caught. The only northern i had was an 8" in the stomach of my largest eye. I was using strictly lindy rigs and crawlers. What a fantastic day to be on the water!

Fished out of Beaver last week Friday and man, that was one of the all time worse days of fishing yet, that is of course cuz it was brutally cold. First five minutes, a 23 incher and than nothing for 3 more hours till I yelled mercy. Marked quite fish, just no takers. Pulled cranks and that was it. I'm going to give it a little more time for the weather to straighten out till I fish the lake area again.

Fished out of Beaver on Saturday and Sunday. Put in about five hours on Saturday and ended up with six walleye from 17-19+ inches. Put in about 2 hours on Sunday and ended up with one. Lot's of dead baby white bass floating around and did mark alot of fish. Should be a matter of time. Water temp was still in the low 70's by mid-da

Anyone been down to Beaver lately. It's been just about a month since I last fished it. The GF is going back to law school so "it's on"!

Went to the Tailrace last night 8/18/09 and got skunked. Stayed for a little while after dark thinkiing that with the weather changing that the walleyes would come out to play but no good. Did pick up a bucket full of trash to bring home that some nice fishermen left for me.

Went down to the cabin again this weekend. Very little fishing to speak of. Saturday, had two ladies in the boat - fished for about an hour and a half. One big smallmouth, skipjack and northern. I think I tested their patience enough so we went to the beach and sat in the sun the rest of the day. Sunday was the same story, but no walleye - so we drove the boat to Prairie Knights Marina, called the shuttle and went up for the Seafood Spectacular Buffet and came out about 20lbs heavier. Was delicious!
All in all, another great weekend to be on the water. Fishing has been off and on and there are a few reports of some anglers catching fish in the Beaver Bay area. Not sure if it's a morning deal, but I'm not an early morning fisherman this time of year. |

Fished Beaver Bay today and ran south. Fished from 11:00-5:30 and boated 5 little eyes. 20-23 FOW with lindy and crawler and later jig and crawlers. Water clarity was terrible and actually had white caps for awhile. Tried cranks at first and got nothing but small northerns. Not many people out that I saw.

Buddy and I put in at Hazelton this morning and hit the water around 7. Headed north and tried pulling cranks and got 2 skipjacks and a drum. That spot was HOT the last two weeks. After that we headed down to the community hole out from the Ft. Rice boat ramp. Missed a good bite on a spinner/bouncer right away and that was it. Then went south further and pulled cranks along the bluffs north of Cannonball and nothing. Fishing has really turned off for me in the last few weeks. Only thing I can think is that the water temp was 65 today and in the mid to high 70's when we were killing them.

I talked to the guy doing a survey at the boat ramp this morning at little heart bottoms. He said he was down at cattail bay doing a survey either last weekend or on Saturday the 18th can't remember the day and he said out of the few boats he surveyed down there only a couple fish were caught.

I have a report but it isn't good. We went back to the same area yesterday (Saturday) that we fished last week and did so good and got zero. I don't know what changed, lack of wind? Weather? It went from good to awful in a week. My buddy who gave me the tip last week went out today and I am waiting to here from him to see if he had a good day or if it's just me. There was alot less rigs at the boat ramp so I think the word is out that the dog days of summer are here.
So somebody else post a report and let me know if the fishing sucks or it's me. |
