I don’t like that there is nothing to not like about your channel. You’re pretty much my fishing papa I’ve learned lots from you as someone that is a decent fisherman, you’ve made me an even better antler
Thanks for watching!
Just got back from Audubon Friday. 4 of us and caught perhaps 140 smallmouth. Targeted rocky areas. Nice fish. Thanks for video it put us on fish. If a cold front and high winds had not been factor there's no telling how many we could have caught. Thanks for video.
Awesome to hear! We love that fishery. Thanks for watching.
It's just amazing how life works.
Just yesterday, I was studying Lake Sakakawea and Lake Audubon; I was wondering if Hwy 83 completely separated the two or if they were connected.
Today, this pops into my videos.
Thank you, guys.
I certainly miss Tony but Jason is wonderful too.
Great North Dakota and South Dakota content.
Keep up the great work.
Thanks for the comment. Just to clarify, the Corps pumps water into Audubon in the spring from Lake Sakakawea and than drains water from Audubon back into Sakakawea in the fall. The water levels are kept much more consistent on Audubon. Fish can transfer from one lake to the other but they are pretty much their own ecosystems. Really a fun lake to fish!
@@JasonMitchellOutdoors Very good. I will assess the situation when I get there the next time.
Thank you for the additional information.
Nice. Thanks for sharing this great smallmouth fishery.
+Vang Xiong 🤙
Looks like a great time Jason.
+Gerald Balciar Jr 👍
Love Smallmouth fishing on Mille Lacs! Great show Jason as usual! I would love to see a open water Pike video on Mille Lacs, Rainy, or Kabatogama in the future from you guys. Keep up the great work!!
+Kyle Lynn Fishing Minnesota great ideas! Thanks for the input.
This looks pretty awesome water......
+Andrew Ragas yep we need to get you out here
Nice video Jason love the walleye videos but smallies are a blast too would like to see more big walleyes
+Kyle Schlicht big walleyes are getting edited right now! Keep an eye out for the next video.
It’s insane to think, but it’s very true. The Bon and Sak are premier Smallie fishery’s! I wouldn’t be surprised to see a major fishing event held on either lake!
+Randall Tetrault that would be cool!
I need to get out chasing some Smallies!!!!
+DWS Outdoors For Sure!
I really enjoy the smallmouth vids. Try Lake Vermilion.
+Hoffa 31 Vermillion is fun, really like the east end for smallmouths. 👍
Do a video on Nelson lake!
Good idea!
Nice video. Question....is the lake a no wake or only portions ?
Bill Collins no but there is a portion that is refuge that you can’t fish.
May I ask what your setup was for this video? What type of line and knot do you prefer for tying on a jerk bait? Thanks for the education.
Early in the year, I like to run straight ten pound mono Berkley XL and tie with a loop knot. I also switch over to ten pound braid like Fire Line and use that as well. I find that mono can work better in cold water and adverse conditions like cold fronts as it seems like it subdues the bait.
My nephew lives in Minot so I want to book trip to Audobon. Did you say mid-May to early June is best? Assume that is pre-spawn?
Mid May is usually prespawn and an excellent time if there is stable weather.
I’ll be in Bismarck Later June and this looks like a good day trip fishing expedition. Later in June are these fish moving to deeper structure? Harder to find?
They will be on deeper rock and there is also a lot of curly leaf pondweed that holds bass. Find the outside edge.
What month of the year did you target them on the jerkbaits there ?
Early to mid May is prime but you can catch them on Jerk Baits all summer.
What rod are you using? It looks like an older Scheels Pro Angler rod
+Ridgeley Kraft correct, sharp eye. I like that shorter baitcaster that has that softer action for jerkbaits. Great cheap rod!
Please come fish any inland land southwest Michigan
+Clint Mock 👍
