What will you focus on this open water season?

[ndfinfan]

Same thing I say every spring...fish more cranks and jigging raps...but somehow it never happens!

 

[onpoint!]

would like to pull cranks and use the driftsocks in more situations to gain comfort. will try extending into night fishing some, too.

jiggin raps = overrated

I continue to struggle with them. I am currently down in the battle - probably lost six but caught none.

Smashing commercial success for the industry though - most likely to lose lure on planet earth IMO.

To me it seems like everyone is against BB fishing. Why is this. It's a proven system on the Missouri River and produces fish every year. I fish sak on a weekly basis. And have cough fish many different ways and BB fishing is as fun as any. IMO

nothin better than pulling bottom bouncers and filling the live well. Keep it simple

You're doing it wrong.

keep after it, hands down the most fun style of walleye fishing you can do once you figure it out.

There's a new bridge across the Sheyenne with added rip rap that NEEDS scoping out. It has 3, count'em, 3 new feeding channels and a new deep run that is teasing me. Then I'm going to target channel cats on the Sheyenne. I've caught a fair number of smaller fish on jigs, but I can't help but think there has to be some double digit specimens out there that would like some cut bait and a circle hook.

Catch a tarpon.

And a tuna.

Berkeley snap jig. To exclusively fish this bait. I’ll save a bunch of money not loosing jigging raps! Also way lighter so shallow waters will be the target with them. Put on any plastic and fish!

 

[Journey]

To get out to FtPeck. Pig walleyes or lake trout

With my recent move and the total of fishing 1.5 days last summer. I am just hoping to find some bodies of water in NE SD that have fish. It's a total learning year for me.

I have hooked up 9 Tarpon and almost landed one from a dock on vacation a couple years ago. I want to take a trip to target them within the next two years. Take your heart meds if there's a chance of a problem. They are an incredible fish.

I’ll be heading back to the keys next year. Hooked up with one 5 years ago and it gets in your blood. Never landed it but it’s an exciting type of fishing for sure. Hoping to make a day of it in the backcountry and find some reds or snook also. Might take a day out on the ocean to chase sails as well

Staying home until the fish are bitting, fishermen can't keep a secret
