[QUOTE="MuleyMadness, post: 290902, member: 5313"] I am just your average Joe fisherman but grew up fishing Sak my whole life. Took me a while to figure it out but there is a definate trend in big fish spots and small fish spots during winter. Not saying they dont hang out or you cant watch anything from 6-24" all in the same spot. The same spots produce big fish winter after winter. By big I am talking 20+ inches. I used to follow the crowd because I was scared of the ice when I started. Now I have a 4 wheeler and go away from that where I found big fish in summer and also found them in winter. I went to one of these spots this year with a buddy and we spent the night and fished about 18-20 hours. Fishing was terrible. Had 6 bites. But one of them was 22". Seems like this spot doesn't always produce numbers but always size. We knew the chances of catching a bunch of fish was probably not good but we were after those bigger fish. nothing excites me more than seeing a bobber go down on sakakawea because you just never know. Only fished once this winter with too many small kid activites [/QUOTE]
