The G&F should have put large mouth bass in there instead of white bass when they stocked it years ago.

Nope, they should've added Crappies.

devils lake is for the bud light drinkers..

Was out there this weekend for our annual guys trip and I would say out of the last 8 years doing it this was by far the best quality of fish we have experienced there. Usually its endless 13-14"ers but this year it was limits of 16-20" fish and fast and furious!

I still would like to fly a Huey low over Cannel A and see how many were still on the road afterwards. I guess to many are too young to know what that meant. LB

What was the winning strategy?

Kept it simple and pulled slow death with gold helicopter blades. Friday night fished 7-11' in a shallow bay. Sat morn was dead calm so we went to the patience point area and found stacks of em in 16-19'.

How did Patience Point get its name?

She kept saying no

It amazes me that there are not more crappie lakes in ND.

there is crappie in dvl.

 

[SDMF]

Yes, there are. But, if I had a magic wand, Crappies would've been stocked in far greater numbers and in lieu of White Bass.

Largemouth don't grow to world class size in this climate. Southern states like FL, TX, AL produce big largemouth. Smallies rule the north.

True for the most part. I saw Al Linder catch an easy double digit out of Nelson Lake about twenty years ago--maybe not that long ago--I think he was still with InFisherman.

Also; if I were King of GF I'd do an experimental stocking of redfish with tracking tags. Saw a show today about reds in virtually fresh water. It was considered brackish yet more on the fresh side of the scale. They develop a cool looking blue patch on their lower tails. I've done some "research" on this subject and believe DL may be on the razor's edge of temperature tolerance in winter.

There's some private lakes in FL stocked with barramundi. They kill off every now and then when global warming produces a lasting cold front.

Nelson Lake is the warmest water body in the state as it is heated by the Minnkota power plant for which the lake was created. The reigning state record largemouth was caught there 30 years ago and weighed 8.5 lbs.

Al easily beat and released that on camera in the asscrack of winter. I'll do a YT search. Some Florida genetics in that lake would be beyond amazing for ND--like pheasants from China.

Can't find it.

Idk. I know the Hmongs get a lot of hate but you can’t tell they are taking even a fraction out of that lake that the boat fisherman are. When ever I go there there are hundreds more boats on the water with three four guys more than likely catching limits compared to the few vehicles I see around the bridges. Yeah at certain times a year they might line up along shore but I still don’t think it even comes close to what the boats are bringing in

Wrong . 20 white bass compared to 5 walleye and it’s a lot of cars not a few .

At least their Toyotas full of zebra mussels aren't in the water after taking 10 minutes to launch at the dock like the white folks with blue plates.

Lol . This is so true
