Lake Oahe (North Dakota) - Wednesday, December 8, 2010

Ice fishing the North Dakota side of Lake Oahe and the Missouri River has officially kicked off with enough ice to keep us mobile to locate fish. We’ve been finding good numbers of fish from Beaver Bay and south. Best methods have been jigging using your electronics to figure out what’s going on. Best baits for us have been Lindy Darters with a minnow head when jigging and the small Lindy Slick Jigs on deadrods with a full minnow hooked at the tail. Jigging has out-produced the dead rods but you really have to work them. The nice thing is there is a lot of activity on the screen to keep your interest level high all day. We’ve been having good luck with numbers of very nice northern pike, a lot of six and seven inch perch which will make things interesting. And of course, some very big walleye for this time of year. Along with the big walleye will come a lot of little walleye – and I mean little. Things are looking great for ice fishing Lake Oahe and the Missouri River.
