[QUOTE="Allen, post: 264006, member: 389"] Anywhere you can find shoreline access next to calm'ish waters. Check out Misty Waters boat ramp area, Hoge Island boat ramp area, Fox Island boat ramp, Hazelton ramp, etc. One of the more important aspects to catching walleye from shore on the river is time of the day, there's usually a witching hour that starts about an hour or two before dark where the catching is far better than the rest of the day. So start with finding a slack water spot in an eddy, mix in timing and tackle as already mentioned, and you should be able to catch a few fish. Don't be afraid to pitch a 3/8 oz jig tipped with gulp or a minnow into an eddy and just let the current do it's thing with it. As the jig settles into the current/slack water interface, there is usually something lurking around looking for an easy meal. They can be really light biters tho that will frustrate the hell out of you. Some 16 years ago when I moved to Bismarck I had to learn the above from an older fella that fished right beside the ramp I'd put in at on a regular basis. I kinda got tired of him always having more fish from his couple hours of shore fishing than I'd have after 4 hours of being on the boat, so I gave in and learned from him. [/QUOTE]
