Lake Oahe (North Dakota) - Monday, January 30, 2012

We had pretty good success this weekend catching some nice fish through the ice.  We finally have enough ice to get out and move around.  The ice has been a little sketchy with the warm weather we've been having and still is in some areas, you really need to be carefull for pressure ridges and open cracks.  If a person stays away from these areas most of the ice is bout 12 inches thick.  We caught mostly Walleyes with a few northerns mixed in.  Most the walleyes we caught were in the 18 to 20 inch range but there have been some pretty big ones mixed in. I hate to say it and I should be careful what I wish for but we could really use a cold snap to freeze things up a bit.  From what I saw this weekend there's some good fishing to be had as long as we can get out there.  Be safe out there and Good Luck!
