[QUOTE="Vollmer, post: 372042, member: 8014"] Well, three of us got the go-ahead, from our wives, to fish on Mother’s Day. We put in at the Newtown Marina. The water temp in that area was 46 degrees. We checked a few spots, as we worked our way west, toward warmer water. We tried a gravel shoreline once we found 52 degrees, but no luck, even though we were marking a few. We moved further west until we found 58 degree water, where we worked another gravel shoreline. No luck, again. We finally found 60 degree water out by Little Beaver Creek Bay. We ended up having some luck in this area. We spot locked the boat in 11-13 fow and pitched jigs toward shore. We ended up catching a dozen walleye, and probably close to 100 white bass, plus a few pike. Some of the white bass were the biggest I have ever seen in Sakakawea before. The water was quite dirty. Around a foot of visibility. We caught them on jig/minnow as well as jig/fluke. I don’t know if it is because it is the beginning of the boat fishing season, or what, but we had a blast catching those big white bass. The occasional walleye helped as well. Get out there folks. I expect things to be going pretty good by next weekend. [/QUOTE]
