 Bitter was junk; marked very few fish and couldn’t get them to bite.

Waubay was better but not much; fish didn’t turn on until around 4.

We did find limits of perch at a small lake in the area that I’m sure is about to get overfished with the amount of trucks that were there yesterday.

Me and a buddy were thinking of heading up at the end of Feb. Called a couple local baithouses, not much help..  5.5 hr drive not wanting to get a guide, but may have to. At least they try to get you on fish. We are thinking of staying in the watertown area. Any help would be great.  Hell if we could hook up with some locals or folks that could point us in the right direction! Just a couple guys who enjoy fishing.

part of fishing is the adventure.  I never listen to reports as a way to catch fish.  Most guides now just want a dollar bill and don't care how they get it. Good luck.
