Anybody on here fishing the tailrace? This is gonna sound dumb but I'm curious about tactics for catching some eelpout...
I've caught one in my life: Wingwalls: This time of year on a jig/minnow at night: Lost a few "fish(?)" on a Rapala Ice Jig that night and got blasted on Jack Daniel's. Fucked up my ankle--bad. Last time I drank whiskey.
Ling, burbot, eelpout (what are you, a minnetuckian?) can be caught fishing the depths of Sak from 4Bears to Williston on Sak relatively easy if you were to target them through the ice.
While I've heard that a person can catch a number of them in the Tailrace at times, it's not the first place I'd go if targeting them.
JayKay, you forgot catfish, drum and paddle fish.
