The Bite Continues On.....



We are beginning to sound like a broken record, but the reality is that Devils Lake has been fantastic all summer and right now is no exception. We are catching walleyes, pike, bass, and a few perch. Most days we are working weed lines or rock piles. Seems like a lot of minnows and bait are located in or near the rocks right now, which equals walleyes! Look for the shallower bite to continue to get better and better as fall approaches. If this fall is anything like last, look for some monster walleyes to be caught along with a lot of nice eating sized fish as well. All the guides at Bry's Guide Service are so excited to get on the water each day. We have some of the nicest clients that come to us from all over the United States. It is so much fun to get people into awesome fishing. If you would like to make a fall trip happen, shoot us an email or give us a call. Good luck to all.

The weather and bite are HOT!!

We are experiencing done if the warmest weather of the year in Devils Lake this week and the bite hasn't declined a bit, in fact, it might be better this week than last week.
What we are doing...as always we are covering water. The two most productive ways to do this is to troll cranks or pull bottom bouncers and spinners. A third of a crawler has been the best by far for live bait. Blade color doesn't seem to matter.
Number 5 Salmo Hornets gace dive well as have number 5 and 7 Berkley Flickershads.
Flooded points, humps, roads, and the old shoreline has been the best. Wirk 10-25 feet off water and get ready!
We are seeing a lot of 12-16 inch fish, please remember to handle the smaller fish with care as they are our future!!
Good luck to all!!

The bite continues...

Cover water...we have caught fish in 10-30 feet of water. Seems like it really can change from day to day. We are trolling cranks and or bottom bouncers with spinners. Plastics,crawlers,leeches, and minnows are all working. Cranks have also done well trolled between 2-3 mph.
We have caught some monster pike of late, jumbo perch, and white bass. It's fun when you catch the variety pack out there.
Summer is starting to slide so make sure to get out and enjoy the excellent fishing that the Devils Lake basin is providing!!

It's all about the pocket!

The old saying "90 percent of the fish are in 10 percent of the water" is certainly holding true right now on Devils Lake.
Pockets can change from day to day so it's important to cover water.
Without a doubt pulling spinners has been our best method to put fish in the box. Best depths are 7-15 ft of water. Crawlers, leeches, and plastics on spinners are all producing.
Pike fishing is more spotty with the warmer water temps, but most pike are caught mixed in with the walleyes.
Bass have been in shallow along rock shorelines.
Good luck to all! Walleye fishing should continue to stay great and look for fish to keep sliding deeper as summer continues!

Fun times....

The bite has been very good!
Best depths are 4-15 ft for walleyes.
Areas that have new weed growth are key. We are trolling cranks,bobbering,pitching jig plastic combos, or pulling spinners.
Crawlers have been the ticket for live bait!
We are seeing more and more algae bloom, which will help to dirty up bays and produce fish.

Pike are still good in the shallows. Pitching or trolling shorelines is the most productive for them.
Bass have been a bit spotty, but once you locate them, it's on!!
All in all life is good in Debils Lake these days!
Good Luck!!

Shallow water is here!!

The bite has been so much fun this past week!! We are catching fish in 1-5 pitching jig plastic combos and cranks. Also, slip bobbers with leeches have produced. The key is to find stained water, if it's clear water you won't get the results you want unless you have wind.
Live bait rigs have also produced some beautiful fish, work the 4-12 ft depths.
Pike fishing is insane in places and the white bass have been smacking on the rocks.
Bottom line, fish shallow, stained water and get ready!!
