Devils lake Shore fishing.?

[lispeej]

When does the walleyes and white bass usually move closer to shore? I'm sure they are still in the deep waters now.

hello.? Anybody?

I was just there last weekend and caught 8 walleyes 10 northerns and three whitebass all from shore, it wasn't anything fast. My nephew was fishing last night and caught 8 walleyes in the evening from shore so maybe with the warmer weather it'll pickup as fishing goes.

It's about time someone replied. That's awesome to know you got something. I'm gonna head up to DL probably sometime within the next month or so. Gonna try to beat the memorial days weekend rush.! What did you use? Live bait, lures?

Thats because your looking or posting in the wrong forum. ND got their own forum. Anyhow the Walleyes and slimers have been active for some time now shallow. White bass still slow. This May is predicted to be one of the best fishing month ever.

Last year the White Bass was spawned out by Memorial weekend. Watch the water temps should be key. Pitching cranks, husky jerks, swim baits all working. Try slip bobbing shallow.

Thanks.

For walleyes from shore fish by the bridges in the evenings. You need to have leeches not minnows! Throw out a lindy rig with a leech with one rod and pitch a jig or crank with the other. For white bass fish wind blown shorelines and cast jigs and plastics or cranks. Generally if you find the Hondas and Toyotas parked along the side of the road the white bass aren't far away.

holmsvc, you forgot to mention old mini-vans and 8-10 people per vehicle on the white bass part of that post!

Any vehicle with a multitude of coolers or a freezer or two are good indicators as well!!!

[spinnerboy]

Even buses pulling trailers loaded with coolers!

Doubtful...most seem to live out of whatever vehicles they hauled up.

[catchnothing]

Thousands of people every weekend for license,food,bait,lodging,gas.....

I would say yes. Lucky for you, you can drive back.

Got back a couple of weekends ago and tried to be as conservative as possible. We spent around $800 for the weekend. My other two brothers and their family spent around the same.

With folks that have their kids/wife with them, I'm sure they are in the same boat I am.

I'm sure some folks go all out, and spend a whole lot more.

Fishing was good, but the weather sucked. The wife out-fished me with catching a 26" walleye. We caught enough white bass for a few good meals.

Would like to go back soon!!!
