Anyone fishing Walleye Opener on Spirit Lake/ Okaboji this weekend?


Recommended Posts

Is anyone going to fish Spirit Lake this weekend for the opener? I plan on fishing Sat and Sun. Hopefully if it isn't a rain out! Fishing is usually great! I plan on drifting lindy rigs and jig and minnow near stoney point on Spirit Lake.

I'll be there. We'll be drifting crawlers, leaches, or minnows, or we'll be trolling cranks shallow or with leadcore out in the deep, or we'll be fishing below a lighted bobber at night near one of the shorelines. We might even do a little vertical jigging, tho the wind doesn't sound like that's going to be a possibility.

Guess we'll fish however the fish want us to. grin.gif

Good luck everyone!

I'll be in a blue Alumacraft Navigator with a 60 Yamaha. Give me a shout. Weather sounds like it is going to suck all weekend. Have you ever fished below the spillway on East Okaboji?

      Hard to imagine an ice-out anytime before the month of May with that 10-day forecast and how much ice/snow still exists on the lake.  If ice out happens just prior to the opener, I do feel like that could be a good thing for the overall bite.  Let’s hope that is the outcome here and not an opener where we are ice fishing.   Remember the ice out date in 2012?  April 2nd...  Amazing to think it was ever that early!   Jeff and I will be up this weekend, retrieving our boats from winter storage and chasing some whitefish, Tullies, jumbo perch, and maybe even a crappie or two.  The bite for all species is usually really good this time of year so we’re looking forward to that.

      It's my favorite time of the year, looking at the forecast and trying to figure out when the lake will truly begin its annual change. Daytime highs will be above freezing 8 of the next 10 days with refreezing at night. Maybe 7-8 inches of snow next week, but that precipitation forecast is too far off to be accurate. It's slightly more reliable than my prediction of a hurricane hitting the lake! I do see sun forecasted for 5 of 10 days with temps above freezing. The sun is starting to get pretty strong even when air temps aren't that high. If that snow doesn't hit mid-week, I could see a portion of the snowpack melting.   I'm heading up tomorrow to *inspect* the lake in person

      Below zero lows...we are going the wrong way.  Not looking real good at the moment for an ice free opener. Things can go fast like last year with a handful of very warm days, but we better start making progress soon.

      I noticed something in the pictures of the fish in my previous post that show up on my phone but not here. The little icon in the lower right. When I touch it, up pops the email of the author of the newspaper article that the phone detected. Maybe the phone is too smart!!😜
