The bite has really started to take off this week with more spring-like weather. Definitely continues to be a jig-and-minnow bite on the Missouri River and area lakes.
Plenty of walleyes being caught now on the Missouri River and area lakes.
The bite has continued to be as unsettled as the weather lately. The Missouri River continued to have the most consistent bite, but a few area lakes have been showing signs of life lately, too.
The wind definitely has kept a lot of would-be anglers at home, but it has also taken the ice off of lakes.
Besides the temperature fluctuations, the wind has been the main story. That has kept many people off the open water and eaten up the ice that remains. And what about winterkill?
