Lake Oahe (North Dakota) - Monday, December 20, 2010

Fished Beaver Bay several times last week.  The walleye bite was strong early in the week, icing 17" - 22" fish steadily during the morning and evening bite in 17 - 20 feet of water, fishing over structure.  By Wednesday, the bite slowed considerably - I spent most of the day on the ice and would only catch a couple of fish, but the when you do get catch one - it is usually a nice fish.  The northerns and little perch hit all day long and provide some great action if you have little fisherman along that can handle the cold.  Yesterday I went out and only caught 1 - 23" walleye, however the little hammerhead northerns kept you busy all day- probably caught 25 little northerns. 
Not sure if the increased water level or active weather pattern is slowing down the bite, but for me the walleye bite slowed considerable - doesn't seem to be an evening bite anymore????  Interested to hear how others are doing.
