minky Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Yesterday was really slow, just two eater walleye, two pike and no perch.About 4 feet of ice and slow going in places on the lake due to drifts.The drifts had a hard crust on them and when you broke through you got stuck.This morning saved the trip!Fished 6 mile bay, got a limit of walleyes.Used a small orange jigging rap, at times they just crushed it!A medium size buckshot in firetiger also took some fish.All were tipped with a minnow head.Good luck to everyone headed out there!

spear foot 1 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Whats the lake like as far as travel can we get around with atvs? TALKING 30S this week so it should shrink any snow on the lake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walleyeking19 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I was up there on Thursday-Sunday. When it was warm, the lake had standing water on it. THere is hardly any snow left. I'd be worried about the landings going out soon. They were really beat up, and the shoreline started to really heave all over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh.P 86 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Were headed out at 3 this morning should arrive around 9. Any advice from anyone would be appreciated. I know weather is gonna be brutal but trip has been planned for a while. Need to do what we can. I heard creel bay in 30' has some fish and six mile in 45' some bigger one's but that was as of two days ago anything recent would be great. Thanks in advance for any info.

PFUNK Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I'm also interested in any recent reports. Our group is heading out early saturday morning through tuesday. Will be on devils for the first time so I am excited! Hoping we are still able to get on with pickups with this cold weather coming in.

Arkman Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Anyone have any thoughts on when I can get up there and do some open water pike fishing. We have tried a couple times over the last year but keep missing it. Either ice comes off way earlier than expected like a couple years ago or way late. Any thoughts on this year?

riverview Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 i say open water is going to be late this year middle to end of april over 40 inches of ice and it was still making ice this weekend -6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkman Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Yeah. That is a bummer. I was really hoping to make a trip out there. But I don't know if late April will work. Any other thoughts on where in the state I may have luck (closer to the east). We really want to hit early season pike on a fly rod out there.

busse3775 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Any reports on how much snow DL got from this past blizzard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobberboy Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I spoke with Woodland today and they told me between 10 and 12 inches fell with 50+ wind gusts. Reports were most if not all of the landings were dirfted in and "truck travel was not advised unless you don't mind getting stuck." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tullies Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Any fishing report at Devils Lake lately? Planning a trip up there in June. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JIM C Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Fishing is really good right now in most areas of the Devils Lake region. Lots of walleyes and pike are being caught on bobbers, or by casting plastics and cranks. Here is a look at casting plastics this past week: Jim Carroll NPAA #13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vman11 Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Any recent reports guys? I will be heading to Devils in 9 days. I know a lot can/will change in that time, but would like to hear what's currently working.We used to make an annual trip in early June to throw cranks into the trees. Catching fish never seemed to be a problem and that was a fun way to target walleye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beer batter Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Just got back yesterday and did fairly well. Been staying in Minnewaukan last 8 years, but changed up to stay on north shore near Creel Bay area. Struggled to find walleyes in that area with a NW wind, just LOTS of northerns. Drove west to Minnewaukan landing at Round Lake and did well. Also went south to New Mill Bay area at the end of the towers and did well. Also heard people were doing well on north end of 6 mile bay under the towers. Leeches or crawlers with spinners, or leeches on plain red hook snell. Pay attention to water temps. North shore was still in the 50's while Round Lake or New Mill area was in the mid 60's. They want the warmer water. Did not appear as though the fresh water shrimp was plentiful yet. Think the water needs to warm for them to hatch, then slip bobbers in the timber will pick up. We did not have luck slip bobbering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skee0025 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I just got back from a week stay. We launched out of Grahams Island. We did a lot ot trolling and had few takers, then only small eyes and hammer handles. We switched to slip bobbers in about 13-15 feet and it was like hitting a light switch. 4 people in the boat and we limited out on 15-17 inchers in about 2 hours. The eyes were very touchy about jig color with blaze orange jigs the big preference, any switch in color would take you out of the game or slow down you take rate. Big pike were abundant, I boated several in the 7-10 lb range. Several follows were in the 35+ inch range, They were going after the eyes we were reeling in. One took a 13 inch eye I was reeling in like it was a small shiner. Overall the week was a Blast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
