How's the river bite

[Brian Renville]

You poor red river guys and your dine a dozen 13#ers. #$%^&>

Dead up north, but a nice day out.

Yep, I saw a few boats, and heard of nary a fish. Saw a couple decent pike by the wing-walls, but there are a lot of smelt floating around, and no fish to eat them.

Well by the looks of some of the reports I've been getting it was a bad day to be a walleye on the river. Seen three man and five man limits and the fish looked nice!

we in Fargo hate you in Bismarck because you have the Missouri in your back yard

just thought you losers should know that

We know...and we just have a hard time mustering an I give a flying titty sprinkles.

It was awesome on the river today!

show me the pics --- cus the boys i seen didnt have $hit

 

[DirtyMike]

I have reports of limits to just a couple fish. I'm surprised though. I thought it'd be slow but the water temp must be higher than I thought.

 

[Kurtr]

Talked to someone that went up there and they did good.

We put in at the rifle range. One 17" walleye and one northern not much bigger. Lunch for today anyway. Pulling cranks up stream.

We ended up going north. Two fish. We found them, they just wouldn't bite. Sounds like we should of headed south.

 

[riverfisher]

find spots that are a degree our two warmer then the rest of the water and move around a lot the fish are out there you just got work and find them

Did fairly well tonight from shore. We were getting bites about every third cast around sundown. Nice to be out on the sand beaches with the long rods once again. Fish look very good with lots of fat getting back to the football shaped walleyes that the Missouri river fish should look like.

I caught a pair of 17 inch eyes going south of Bismarck yesterday, along with a couple small northerns.

Great day to be on soft water!

This is true. Had a buddy out Friday and Saturday with 2-3 man limits. Even managed a 27.5" that weighed 10.4lbs.

27.5 that weighed ten pounds? Is that even possible?

Gizzard Shad.

 

[zoops]

Kind of figured there'd be lots of 17-18" fish in the system this year as there were lots of 15-16" last year and that seems to be the case from the reports I'm hearing.

 

[ndbwhunter]

I saw the picture....wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't. Don't know if they measured the girth, but that thing looked like a pot belly pig. It's going on the wall.

 

[dean nelson]

Gizzard Shad.

That and crappies. That's one good part about a late freeze up and early Ice off is the shad should really make a comeback now. It's nice to see oahe getting a more well rounded baitfish selection over just smelt. Now with big numbers of bass, crappie, shad and lake hearing to go along with the smelt it should really help to take some of the boom and bust nature out of oahe.

27.5 that weighed ten pounds? Is that even possible?

I've got a 29 incher on the wall that weighed in at 11 lbs 8 oz. so it's very possible. Mine came out of the Missouri too but that was several years ago.

The buddy I fished with last night was crazy enough to go back out this morning at sunrise and surprisingly the bite was still on. He picked up four in about an hour and a half till he got too cold and packed it in.
