Lake Oahe (North Dakota) - Monday, June 14, 2010

 Fished Beaver Bay on Lake Oahe late Friday afternoon. We made one pass by Prairie Knights Casino and didn’t have any luck. It’s just one of those places where you know the fish are going to move into and it’s just a matter of time before they do. So, we kept on moving north to other high percentage areas fishing channel edges and finally ran into a nice group of Lake Oahe walleye. In an hour we had our fish while catching and releasing others all before 7pm.

Saturday brought cooler temps but we still managed to boat numerous walleye in the 17-19 inch range along with a 20, 21 and 25 inch walleye, which were all very big fish for 20 inch plus weight classes.

Sunday, fishing was tough for the one boat we had out. Only managed five decent walleye by noon and we decided to pack up and call it a weekend. The first spot we went to produced four out of the five fish caught and all were boated before 10am, which we decided to move south and there was no bite for us to find. It sounds like live bait may have been the ticket, but decided to grind it out with crank baits.

It sounds like the Missouri River bite near Bismarck has heated up again as we had a few boats out over the weekend and today with walleye fishing being very good, which is great news for this time of year.
All in all, nothing short of world class of fishing on Lake Oahe and the Missouri River. Walleye fishing should continue to get better with warmer temps still on their way.
