Rice Lake yay or nay?

Grano and Green crossings on Lake Darling usually get good this time of year.

Go to grano. Catch eyes not stinky slime. This time of year is usually good. Heard they are going up there.

This sugar ah ah nevermind would be your best bet also find some bridges on the mouse River the water around the bridges will be the warmest because of the rocks.

Drive another half hour south and cast for giant pike on sakakawea

might as fucking well have. The piers were pulled in at Rice Lake and Nelson Carlson yesterday. Seeings how I don't have a boat, my fishing will be limited in the areas I CAN go. I drove almost 3 hours trying to fish and nothing lmao

Well we’re covered for German bakeries in S central ND….if you haven’t tried Rice lake S of Minot yet maybe listen to MSA and head to Sakakawea

Yeah, I think I might have to just make the longer drive and try there before it gets too cold to bother. I'm going to try and research fishing spots along there. See if there's any shoreline that works out.

I've tried there a few times this summer but haven't since it started cooling off. I could always go back yeah. Pretty rocky though.

Try tossing 1/4 oz mimic minnows. If rock banks available, they warm up a little quicker. Silver shiner and perch color have been best for me for both walleye and pike Thank me later

White and watermelon work decent also.

Lots of places to shorefish on the Pick City side.

If you are willing to try the New Town area, here's where I would recommend casting a line:

It's about 5 miles north of New Town off of Highway 1804. I zoomed in a bit on Google Earth so you can see the trails there that take you down to the water. It's one of the few places where shoreline access is still allowed outside of ramps and camping areas. Note, there's no camping here nowadays, but shorefishing should still provide good opportunities at pike, walleye, white bass and catfish.

It's about an hour drive from Berthold.

thanks for that advice! None of my minnow baits have caught anything so far, but maybe trying a different color would help.

I like floating rapalas or even daredevils for shore slimers. If you’re in the mood to sit, chunk a smelt or herring on the bottom and read a good book

 

[Jiffy]

Red and white daredevil for pike? That’ll never work….

This was a go-to for walleye on a Canadian fly-in trip 20 years ago. Of course we caught pike, but walleyes loved them too!

FT Stevenson State Park, 3 miles south of Garrison. These 3 fishing spots afford you some shore access to deeper water. If you do fish the dog park and don't mind the walk, anywhere along the scoria beach on the east side of the point is one of the biggest community holes in Garrison area. I would fish that in the morning while the sun warms that side, and then move to the west side for the afternoon sun. Id fling a bobber rod out for a dead stick and cast white 1/4oz jigs and minnows. A slower drag type presentation has been more successful than a pop and hop. There is a small entry fee per day to access the park, or you can buy a yearly pass for $35
