lake yet.

Lake Audubon Fishing Report
There is still good activity in the mouth of
3-Mile Bay for walleyes and a few perch. Also good off of Totten
Trail Boat Ramp out to the island and south to the deep water. The
old church bay area has been good for perch and a few walleyes.
Good depths are 20-25 feet of water. Use Genz Worm, Buckshot
Rattlers, Fat Boys and Neon Lites tipped with minnows.
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS SAFE ICE.

I have been watching the bays on a daily basis and there is
ice in the bays and along the east end embankment. Cold calm
nights will help ice over the rest of the lake.
It is walkable but be very careful cause it varies in
different areas. Use a bar to hit the ice, if the bar goes through
on one swing back the hell up. I will be open Friday, Saturday and
Sunday.

Not much of a report for the east end but if this is where you
decide to fish, fish Douglas Bay, Seven Sisters or by the intake
for Audubon.
However I have been fishing the last couple of days (Wed & Thu)
and just crushing the walleyes. I would love to give you the
details online but there are some things you just have to stop at
the store for. So what I am saying is do your business here and I
will give you some info on where to catch limits of eater fish and
hawgs, we are releasing 2 to 5 fish a day between 25 and 29
inches. I will post the pics after the weekend. We have released 6
walleyes 25 to 29 inches in the last two days, and have kept 20
fish for the freezer in the 17 to 21 inch range. I will be out
there Fri, Sat and Sunday, see you there. Stop in and see Jeff or

I was out last Wednesday in Douglas Bay. It was windy and cold,
only fished till noon and wussed out and went home to a hot bowl
of soup and my lay z boy. I fished up in the bay, saw enough fish
on the screen but they were all deep and I could not get them to
go. 2 little 13 inchers is all I caught.
Not much of a report but not to many people fishing either.

I was out last Wednesday in Douglas Bay. These fish in this
picture are 13 to 21 inches and were caught mostly on minnows. We
cranked 3 of them and caught the other 7 on minnows. The fish are
all over out there, you can catch them in 10 to 30 feet of water.
This was a special outing for Nicole and Ralph.
On Friday Nicole and I went west to Van Hook. The day was warm
but very windy. We caught 5 of these fish on lindy rigs and jigs
tipped with minnows. The wind got so bad I could not control the
boat anymore and we decided to crank out of the wind. I pulled
reefrunners in 25 to 30 feet for the other 5 fish. The smaller
fish are 18 inches and the 2 bigger ones are 24 inches. What a
great day. A limit of walleye, a few drinks and great dinner at
Clayton's Scenic 23 Supper Club, it just don't get any better than
that. Thanks to Rick Folden for the help.
There are still lots of fish from Seven Sisters east to the
Highway 83 embankment. 5 to 20 feet of water. Use lindy rigs or
jigs tipped with minnows.

With the Fall Walleye Classic behind us we can get back to some
sense of normal with the fishing reports. Every thing is pretty
hush-hush during tournaments.
I had no trouble catching fish in the 11 days I fished for the
tourney. Most my fish came on main lake structure on the east end
from 7 sisters east to Highway 83. I used jigs and lindy rigs
tipped with minnows to catch most my fish. I fished in 10 to 30
feet of water. Most of the fish I caught were good eater fish, I'm
talking 14 to 18 inches. You can crank them also. There are alot
of fish caught around the 83 pump station in the morning if the
water is flowing.
Douglas Bay, Wolf Creek and Stienke Bay is good also, same
tactics.

I have fished every day since last Wednesday. I have caught
fish every day. There are lots of eater size walleye on the east
end of the big lake. You can crank them or live bait them. Fish
sunken islands in 10 to 30 feet of water. If I could stay in one
place I would have no problem catching a limit of 15 to 18 inch
walleyes.
Come to the Garrison City Park on Friday and Saturday at 3 to 5
p.m. to watch some of the areas best walleye fisherman duke it out
for $25,000. The weigh in is exciting and you should see some nice

about me. I have been catching fish on cranks. Lots of 13 to 17
inch fish in 25 to 40 feet of water. Concentrate on areas
where you can mark smelt. If there is bait there is walleyes.
Good luck to all tournament anglers on winning the coveteted
$25,000.

It's been a windy one here boy. I went out Monday it was pretty
nice, was going to go Tuesday and didn't, had to take care of
business. Yesterday the wind blew to 50mph. But here is my catch
for the week.
Skyla was pretty pumped to catch a couple of these. She is 3
years old and is already going to be a great walleye angler. I
started trolling in the morning on the east end for about an hour
and a half. I could see fish stacked near the mouth of Centennial
but could not get them to hit a crank so I put the crank rods away
and baited. I used bottom bouncers with 5 foot snells and tipped
them with crawlers. Fished in 23 to 30 feet of water. These fish
ranged from 17 to 19 inches. You have to move very slow and stay
above the fish.

Still lots of walleyes on the east end. You can catch them on
bait if there is some wind. Concentrate your efforts in the mouth
of Centennial and the 7 Sisters and all the sunken humps east of
the Sisters. Fish in 12 to 25 feet and on calmer days all the way
down to 40. Lindy rigs tipped with crawlers and minnows. Otherwise
troll Reefrunners in 20 to 35 feet of water. Deep Reefrunners and
the Ripshad 400's are working well and I have plenty of both.
I would like to encourage anyone thinking
about getting into the Fall Classic to do so now. They will only
take applications till the 31st of August. If you need any
questions answered or need an application let me know. Sounds like
we are up to about 80 teams and climbing. Someone is guaranteed
$25,000.00. All you need to do to get in is send in your
application with the deposit of $200.00. You can pay the balance

of Sakakawea. You can catch them in a variety of ways. If the wind
is blowing use nightcrawlers, minnows or leeches if you can still
find them in 15 to 25 feet of water. Put them on a lindy rig or a
snell on a bottom bouncer and fish main lake structure.

many anglers. A variety of presentations is working. You can fish
bait on main lake points or sunken islands in 20 to 30 feet. Use
spinners or lindy rigs tipped with minnows, leeches or
nightcrawlers. Cranking is working pretty good in 20 to 35 feet of
water also. The fish in this picture were caught on ReefRunners.

Not much better than last week. The fish that were caught over
the weekend were pretty nice but the numbers are down. Fish are
transitioning deeper on main lake structure. Look on this
structure for fish to be 17 to 35 feet deep. Fish bait vertical
over the top of them. A leech on a long lindy is deadly this time
of the year, minnows and crawlers will work well also, or troll
cranks like reefrunners. In the wind fish the windy sides of the
structure and fish shallower.

Centennial/Stienke bay is producing walleyes. So is Douglas
Bay. There are lots fish in the bays. On calm days fish in 3 to 5 feet of water with
jigs, lindy rigs or spinners tipped with leeches or crawlers. You
may have to pick up the speed on some days. On windy days get out
to the mouth of the bays and use bottom bouncers with spinners (hammerd

Lake Sakakawea Fishing Report
Not much change from last week. Last Wednesday was slow but
Thursday and Friday was good.
Centennial ramp is now usable, just be careful motoring out of
the bay.
The east end of Sak was a little slow over the weekend. There
were alot of fish caught on Thursday and Friday but Saturday and Sunday were
off somewhat. Most anglers struggled for 1-3 fish but some limits were
caught. You will do best not to fish in big groups of boats.
Good areas are Garrison Bay and east to Hwy 83 on the north
shore, Seven Sisters and the north side of Mallard Island, Wolf
Creek is good also.
All fish are shallow. Position your boat in 5-12 feet of water.
Lindy rig behind your boat and cast jigs tipped with minnows to
the shallows. All the baits are working. Crawlers, leeches and
minnows are working at different times of the days.
Spinners are starting to work also. If jigs and lindys are not
working tie on some spinners and pick up the speed a little.

Walleyes are being caught in 12 feet of water along the

The east end of Sak is producing limits of walleyes from 14
inches to 28. The fish are shallow along the weedlines inside and
outside. Use jigs and lindy rigs tipped with any of the baits,
minnows/crawlers or leeches. You can use a lindy weight or a
bottom bouncer with a 4 to 6 foot snell.

Take notice of what a little moisture between here and Billings
will due for the lake level. We have increased the level 2 feet in
11 days.
As far as fishing goes the weather has not been an ally on
allowing anglers to get out. Some anglers are finding some fish on
the east end. Some are in 2 to 5 feet and some have been caught
out to 20 feet. The bite is just getting started and should be in

What a beautiful morning. We need more days like Thursday and
Today. Warm temps will get these fish going. Some are being caught
by a few anglers.
If you fish the east end concentrate on sandy and gravel
shorelines, cast jigs up shallow and drag them deeper, as slow as
possible. Fish the old highway 83 area. The road and the ditches
will hold some fish.

The warm temps will help Audubon also. Work the shorelines

Shore fishing is pretty good right now. Shore anglers are
catching more than boat anglers. The reason for this is the boats
are moving to fast. Boat anglers need to anchor and pitch jigs

would be tough.

Audubon has slowed some. The cold front and the spawn
getting over with has slowed the bite.

I looked around at boat ramps last night.
Government Bay Boat Ramp on the north side of Riverdale is now
usable. Lake Sakakawea State Park at Pick City boat ramp is usable
also. This is very good news to those of you that want to fish
prespawn walleyes on the east end of the big lake.
Fish the old highway 83 area. There were alot of walleye
stacked on the east end islands at last ice. Pitch jigs tipped
with minnows into shallow water and drag them out to 20 to 30 feet
of water.
Big post spawn pike should start to bite now also. Look in the
bays for them.
River fishing for walleyes below the dam still remains to be
very good. Look from the honey hole to Washburn. Lots of nice 15 to 20 inch fish. Jigs and minnows. Try
to find slack water off of the current.
Lake Audubon Fishing Report
Lots of little males showing up around the east end cabin
site area. Work points and drop offs with jigs and minnows as slow
as you can. Pitching them shallow could produce also.

If you are one of the fortunate ones to have a boat you can
get on the water, the walleyes were and still should be stacked on

can also still chase trophy pike in the bays.

There is getting to be plenty open shore on the
north side of the lake for pike fishing from shore. Action will
still be fair to excellent for prespawn jumbo pike.
Click here to
see the latest one caught and weighed in.
Find a back bay, tip your lines with smelt and throw them
out, letting them lay on the bottom works best but try one under a
bobber. If you get bored with that cast spoons along the
shoreline.

Some shores have opened to allow small boats to get on the

not going on.

Shoreline conditions on the big lake on the north
shore bays is deterioating fast. There still may be some places to
get on without a plank or ladder but very few. The only places I
found where you could walk on is Garrison Bay on the east side and
Wolf Creek. Another day or two of this windy weather and there
will be places to shorefish for these big pike. Here is one that
was caught through the ice. Click on the picture to read the rest
of the story. Nice fish Brandon.
I will try to stay on top of the ice conditions for you.

Still good on the east end sunken humps for
walleyes. Ice is still good. Fish 8 to 15 feet for walleyes 14 to
18 inches and some bigger.
The bite is mostly a late evening bite. From 6 to 10 p.m.
Jigging deeper during the day will get some strikes also.
Any jig will work but put 2-3 minnows on. Trebles are working the
best.
Find and island that tops out at 5-8 feet and set up your
lines in 5-16 feet of water. The bite for us was from
4:30-7:00 at night and 6:30 to 8:30 in the morning.
The pike season is under way but the weather has not been
that great for catching. There are several smaller males showing
up in the bays but just a few big females. The warmer temps this
weekend will change that. Looks like you should drop what you had
planned for the weekend and go pike fishing if you are looking for
a trophy pike. Find a bay and fish in 5 to 15 feet with smelt.
Bigger smelt is producing some larger fish but small smelt
triggers more strikes. You can suspend the bait off the bottom or
it can even lay on the bottom, it don't matter.
Lake Audubon Fishing Report
Some real nice fish still being caught in the bays in
shallow water.
Find 4 to
12 feet of water adjacent to some deeper water and give it a try.
Make sure to be quiet at sundown or you will spook the fish. Best
is to set tipups away from your vehicle.

Not much change from last week. The east end of the big
lake is still fair to good for walleyes. Some pike being caught in
the bays.
Getting in on the West Totten Trail road is terrible but you
don't have many choices for access. Make sure you know where you
are going as you come off in the dark or you will get a cold bath.
The water is open around the old 83 where it meets the lake. Go
off to the west of the old highway. 4 wheel drive is almost a
must, however some 2 wheelers are making it.
I, Nicole, Nathan, and Vince have fished the east end Monday
and Tuesday. We have caught a total of 22 walleyes from 15 to 21
inches. I had one to the hole that I could not get turned up,
tried to back her up to turn her head and pulled the hook out. She
was 8 to 10 lbs.
Use buckshot rattlers to coax them in, jigging constantly,
tip with a minnow or 2. Also plain trebles on tipups are working
also. Still use 2-3 minnows per hook, even on a single hook like a
Genz or leadhead jig.
Find and island that tops out at 5-8 feet and set up your

common.
Dad and I fished a sunken hump on the east end out in the

and kept 7 walleyes. It didn't matter what color jigs.
All that mattered is that you used 2-3 minnows per jig.

till 5 p.m., all day New Years Day and all day on Sunday.
After the New Years holiday
weekend I will open on the weekends only due to the ice fishing
season just getting started. Hours will be Friday / Saturday /
Sunday from 7:00 a.m. till 5:00 p.m.
The east end is mostly iced over. Centennial Bay, Wolf Creek
and the whole east end has ice. Be very cautious, this would be
walking ice only!!!! 4-wheelers in spots. There is some fishing
being done but no reports have come in.
Current Lake Level 1810.30 msl / down
.60 from last week.

Lots of fishing being done over the holidays. Even some
catching being reported.
Good spots to try are Nelson Bay, Refuge Headquarters, Old
Church Bay and Carbody Island.
For walleyes fish in 17 to 21 feet for the night bite and 28
to 35 feet during the day. Use Genz Worms, Neon Lites, Lunar Grubs
or plain treble hooks tipped with minnows.
For perch fish in 20 to 30 feet with Lunar Grubs tipped with
minnows, minnow heads or wax worms. Old Church Bay is the best
area right now for perch.
Ice conditions are still kind of dangerous. Most bays now
have 10 to 14 inches but there are still some thing spots so be
careful.
Thank You For Your Patronage
Good Fish'n
