I was at Beaver Bay again yesterday, 12/15/25 and this is the one south of Bismarck. 9" to 10" of ice but it seems cloudy type of ice. There was a golf cart cruising around and a 4 wheeler dragging a hard shell hunting blind on skids. They had ventured way out towards the main channel. I'm not quite ready to go that far. Fishing was slow, one smaller pike, one walleye and one perch for an afternoon of fishing. Good luck to all and be safe.

Drove from Dickinson to Fargo to Sioux Falls today. I didn't see a single person fishing.

40 mph winds may have kept people from going, maybe ? Diehards are usually out regardless.

We went to Alkaline yesterday. It was 13" where we set up.
sounds like alkaline been producing? I was at davis yesterday and ice is a good 8 inches maybe more, mostly clear. Fishing was slow, everyone left early. I had one up to the hole and it got off.

That's been the rumor. We didn't find anything but little walleye. however, a guy did post post on Facebook yesterday that he did well out there. I don't know what I did to piss off the fish gods, but they have not been nice to me lately.

anyone hear anything about west by napoleon? I need to check out the netting reports from G&F...
Netting report shows mostly walleye and less than year before. Hardly any pike or perch. It’s been slow but some are being caught.
