Van Hook Arm - Friday, June 10, 2011

I fished Friday evening through Sunday early afternoon.  Well the fishing sucked.  On Friday we fished the Shell Creek area, working from depth of 3ft to 26 ft, the only thing landed was a northern and small white bass, however it was a very nice evening to be out fishing.  Saturday fished from 7-2pm.  Started out very nice day, no wind, sunny then the wind came up, wanted to head south but didn't want to fight the waves, fished Shell Creek again, nothing.  Headed back into Parshall Bay, a caught 1 nice W. Bass.  Sunday, morning wind again so fished the deeper depth of Shell Creek areas in the 35ft depth, picked up a perch.  The wind went down finally so we head south and picked up another perch.  Fished some more rocky points and caught 5 northerns, 3 more perch, descent sauger.  Much better, not great but at least we were getting bites.  Fishing is very slow, only seen a hand full of people catch 1 to 3 fish each day.  But I still had a good time lov to fish.
We tried everything from lindy with minows, leeches, worms to jiging to throwing cranks in the shallow areas.
