LOTW Report 3/5/2012

[Border View Lodge]

Fishing was good during the early part of the week, but slowed after the front moved through.  Lots of fish are being marked.  Varying presentations seems to help.  Jigging spoons or plugs can entice the fish into striking, if they are not feeding.  At times, the “dead” stick will work better, for the walleyes looking to get an easy meal.

Northern fishing has picked up in Four-mile bay.  A 41 inch pike was brought in this week and several 30+ inchers were released.  The next 2 to 3 weeks are prime time for the big pike to stage in the bay.  Guided pike trips are available.  Give us a call and we’ll literally “hook you up”!

It should be a great week of weather, with warmer temps on the way.  Hopefully, this will get the walleyes moving and stabilize the bite. 

Look for us at the Minot, ND show this weekend.  Stop in and say “hi” if you are in the area.  It’s a great time to book a last minute ice fishing trip or your summer vacation!  Til next time…

FiSH ON!
