LMITOUT Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Hard to go wrong with either, but if I were choosing between those two lakes and those two dates, I'd take Sakakawea in March. The water is up and should make for better fishing next spring in the bays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doop Posted July 22, 2008 Author Share Posted July 22, 2008 I've fished Sakakawea once about 10 years ago and that was open water....any idea which bay(s)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selas Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 March will be better by far December is going to be a little tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMITOUT Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I've always fished the south side, but you could try many different bays and have luck. Beaver Bay is a good one to try and so is Renner. I caught a 45" pike in July pre-fishing for a tourney a few years ago near Beaver Bay. What a monster! I was alone in the boat and managed to net and release it by myself. No camera and the cell phone was dead so all I had for proof when I got back to camp was a 4' slime stain on the floor of my boat If you want to stay close to a main highway than you could work some bays in the Garrison area on the east side of the lake where they've caught big fish in the past too.
