Lake Sakakawea - Monday, June 13, 2011

Fishing on par with that I predicted. Tough conditions for walleyes and some life for saugers. Although, even the sauger bite is what I'd consider pretty slow.

I actually didn't even specifically try for sauger this weekend. Figured it is June in Sakakawea so fishing should be lights out. Ha ha...um...okay Tim. Ya, fishing was very slow for walleyes. In fact, zero were boated. I tried shallow specifically looking for that rebound bite many talk about. Never happened. Caught quite a few northern, some small mouth and got into a crappie for the second time this year. Had some short bites again so think they were crappie.

The good news is I think I missed two good walleye or sauger bites. No idea on size, just felt "decent. Set the hook, heft and then boink....off.

Fun.

Water temps are around 58 degrees. Yes, cool but still, it is June in Sak. Think I will be trying next weekend up in the back bays again and near inlets. Otherwise, think I'll get myself a new driver and 3 wood and enjoy my summer.

.....

Yeah, I know. Bit harsh but seriously...
