  • The Peluso Report: Crawlers Strong on Sak

    Mike Peluso|Jul 11, 2022

    The walleye fishing is on fire up here on Sakakawea. On certain days, it's truly remarkable. A mix of slow death, PK prop rigs, and a plain old live bait rig with crawlers is hard to beat. The fish are still really shallow on days depending on conditions, but average depth to catch them in seems to be 10 to 18 feet of water.

Through the presentation of a variety of targets thrown in ways that simulate any one of the dozens of flushes and incoming birds in the field or along a slough, sporting clays provides a fun and ex...

The evenings are warm, the fish are on the feed, and save for the occasional swatting of a mosquito, the outings are often both pleasant and productive. Targeting crappies in this stretch of the season requires some searching, but keying in on structure and food sources will help up the odds and the weight of the panfish basket filled with a few specks for a weekend fish fry.
