[QUOTE="RustyTackleBox, post: 152123, member: 282"] I agree... sakakawea, Audubon, devils or oahe... if you take 6-10 guys on any of these lakes and fish as hard as you do up there for 5-10 days straight you will catch fish and you will end up finding some 24"+... the 3 big things are the color, you will not find a fish that color in ND, and structure, in Winnipeg you are not looking for structure because you are fishing in a teaspoon shaped bay (most guys say a bowl but i feel a teaspoon is more like the shape, shallow toward the red river and deeper to the north) and finally which I am not sure why, but I have not found walleye in ND that aggressive to hit a 4-5" rattle bait or spoon as often as those little 10-12" walleyes do up there (that was my biggest shock) by fishing as hard I mean, MOVE... don't go to Audubon and sit in fort totten trail and go up to the bar for drinks and a meal every few hours, don't be stuck in an ice house or pop up in 1 spot all day... if each guy you are with punches 20-30 holes in a day you will find a fish or 2... if you want to sit in one spot and get drunk I am not saying you are wrong, I'm just saying you can't say "the fishing is bad" because you just fished an 4, 8" holes in a 8' area of the whole lake and did not put forth the effort to reap the reward [/QUOTE]
