[QUOTE="Davy Crockett, post: 97517, member: 367"] No answer for sure lunk but interesting point , Devils Lake has more current than any other closed basin lake I remember fishing. I was thinking about this a couple weeks ago when I was fishing it and watching my bobbers going back and forth across the hole but seldom down the hole. The only explanation I could come up with was the wind gusts moving along and pushing down on the ice. Kind of like ice road truckers , The tidal wave affect ahead of the truck. Even night fishing without wind the current was still strong but that could me momentum. Devils lake doesn't seem as bad as Sakakawea for rough water on a fairly calm day from the wind the day before. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] Be a fun place to metal detect if the owners would approve but I'm sure others have thought the same thing and picked it clean over the years.
