Fishing Help Please

[Ugly Dogs]

I just found out that I have some family coming into town and my cousin is bringing his boys (8 & 10). These boys have never been walleye fishing before, and I haven't been out yet this year. So, if you any one can give me as report or advise on where to take them? I'm thinking Sakakawea but not sure what part of Sak. (Beulah, Douglas, etc.) I'm not asking for GPS cords. just an area that will give these kids the best chance to catch some walleyes. Depth, presentation etc. I appreciate the help and I'm sure the boys do too.

I’ve only been on Sak a handful of times this summer, but depending on where you’re starting from I’d try Beulah Bay & beaver creek bay. Troll bottom bouncers along shelves of different depths until you find ‘em. Then drift & jig.

If you’re looking to simply catch fish and have a lot of fun, the smallmouth are thick and they are blasting paddle tail and twister tail jigs around Fort Stevenson.

Head to Parshall Bay and pull lindy's or slow death on Flag Flats.

Even pike are more fun to catch than walleye. If you’re just looking to catch fish.

You shut your whore mouth. It is never a good time to catch slimmers.

You are correct, they are a great fight. I started making my own titanium leaders and use when fishing for walleye in waters that I know are heavily saturated with pike. Light wire and sm components don't seem to bother the eyes at all.

Yep, while tossing jigs for walleye a few weeks ago out at Horsehead, the son and I caught our 10 walleyes in about 2 hours, along with another 5, or so that we threw back. But the real story were the damn pike. We caught around 30, but got bit off by the pike at least 15 times.

Next time out we used Knot 2 Kinky to make our own leaders and didn't lose a single jig.

That's what I use

Walleye on lindy/bottom bouncer = big yawn pulling in a little extra weight.
Smallmouth on any technique especially casting = fun, excitement, fight and aerials.

Do you have preffered way to fish for walleyes, such as pulling cranks or live bait?

Lol clean it better. It's a fishy fish but I've cooked it plenty with zero issues.

Really?...I must not be "fish sophisticated" which is fine. I also "hear" DL pike have orange meat (desirable in trout--my grandmother). I see what she was saying comparing Alaska salmon to
Sak salmon. IDK. My fish threshold is "Long John Silver's" and I try to duplicate that "taste".

Grandma was a devout liberal Catholic. We used to bring her bags of wild browns me and Pard caught on Rapalas when I was in on leave. It was a ++; as she only wanted them gutted with the kidney (blood line) removed. We also became "hero's" when she would exclaim in a half Italian/WV accent: "Where did you boys git theese beeg trout?!! (12-19in) Orange meat: Her next few Friday's made her think of me and Greg for a bit.

That is all.
