Lake Oahe (North Dakota) - Sunday, May 8, 2011

Fishing activity near Bismarck remains very strong with numerous boats out catching fish.  The Big Muddy Walleye Tournament was held yesterday and anglers came in with very impressive weights to say the least.  The winners brought in a limit that averaged around 6lbs per walleye.  Other top 10 teams averaged 5lb per walleye.  Most anglers are using jigging techniques with minnows and plastic to boat fish.  Others are also using crank baits, but the majority are jigging.  The tourney folks did another impressive job running a great event.  This truly has become one of North Dakota’s great fishing tournaments with a large following.  Fishing should remain consistent near Bismarck for some time and the lake will be picking up real soon.
