by the 1st of the year and I should have mine by Jan. 10th. Kyle will be
using my Polaris Ranger with tracks that seats 4 people with no problem.

www.americantrucktrack.com and check them out. We will be
unstoppable now. We still have a few openings this winter so don't wait to
book. 4 nights lodging, 3 days fully guided for $415.00 per/person
Keep your lines tight and Merry Christmas and happy New Year |

12/09/2010 Fishing Report
Hey guys hope you
guys had a good fall. Well we have 10 to 13
inches of ice on the west end of the lake and
about 10 inches of snow. Walleye"s are biting
really good in the early A.M. and late P.M. Most
the fish are coming in 6 to 10 ft. of water.
Jigging spoons like the Lindy Flyer's are
working well tipped with minnow heads. Tip-Ups
with a #10 treble hook tipped with a minnow is
working well also.
We do have some openings yet this winter if your
interested, and a great Dec. special if you can
make.
Keep your lines tight.

08/09/2010 Fishing Report
Hot Hot! The temps are hot along with the
fishing. The new Lindy spinners are still number one on our guided trips.
We are using the two hook harness tipped with 3/4's of a crawler. The best
depth seem to be 10 to 12 foot of water along road beads and weed edges.
For the best results we are using 1 1/2 oz bottom bouncers with the new
Lindy spinners. Colors that work best for me is Perch, Blue Gill and
Fathead minnow. Speed seems to be key at 1.2 to 1.4 MPH/ Fishing the first
four hours and the last four hours of the day seems best. You will also
run into Pike and Whitebass while pulling these spinners. KEEP YOUR LINES
TIGHT!

DEVILS LAKE, N.D. – As a full time guide, Jason Feldner spends over 200
days a year on Devils Lake, his favorite body of water. To say he’s in
tune with its seasonal walleye migration is a severe understatement. But
when the ice finally receded on Devils this spring, even he struggled with
the high-water conditions.
After coming up empty in his traditional
honeyholes, Feldner finally gave up and began treating Devils as a new
body of water. Some of his favorite trees had been ripped away by the ice
and other productive areas suddenly had an additional five feet of water
on them. It took some time, but the Minnewaukan, N.D., native finally
figured it out. He started putting his clients on good fish and then a few
months later the FLW Walleye Tour rolled into town.

04/26/2010 Fishing Report
What an
early spring. Last year at this time we still
had ice on the lake. This year the Walleyes are
just about done spawning in most areas. Fishing
is starting to heat up. The current areas are
still producing fish. Areas like the coulee
bridges, six mile bay and where ever there is
running water. Leeches seemed to be the anglers
choice along with jigs tipped with plastics. Now
that the docks are in at the boat ramp in
Minnewaukan we are see more boats out ad about.
Guys are catching fish pitching jigs along old
Hyw 281 and any place that has rocks on the
shore line. Again leeches and jigs with plastic
are the key. Old hyw 281 is closed to truck
traffic but you are allowed to walk, bike or
take your ATV down them. there is a little water
on top of the road, but for the people that put
the rubber boots on and venture out are catching
pike and walleye. With this early and warm
spring are fishing is a good two weeks ahead. I
would bet in the next 8 to 10 days the fishing
will be second to none.
Keep your Line Tight |

Fishing Report
Well I think the
grip of winter is now departing us. We had our
first claps of thunder this morning. As I look
at the rain gauge it says about an inch. That
should do it for the ice fishing. The shorelines
are about done unless you want to plank out. My
phone has been ringing off the hook. Are you
guys flooded? I heard the town is under water?
Do we still have a place to come. Yes we are
still here and no we are not flooded. Yes we are
getting a bit more water than last year. But not
as much as they said so I think we will be fine
for another year. So bring smiles and fishing
gear and lets have some fun. Now back to the
fishing. I have heard good reports from the few
that are out ice fishing. Six mile bay, mission
bay and the maulvee culee areas are doing good.
We do have some run off coming into the lake
around the bridge and culvert areas. Just in the
last couple days I have seen some nice eyes
being caught. Most guys are shore fishing or
taking little boats out and putting them in over
the rocks. Remember our best shore fishing
months are coming up, end of April and May. We
do still have some openings for Lodging and or
guide service.
Thanks to all for a great winter season and we
hope to hear from you soon.Jason Feldner

Fishing Report
 
FISHING, it's up and down one day we will
clobber them and the next day will just plain
stink. Most of our walleyes are coming in that
ten foot range. Tip-ups tipped with minnows and
jigging spoons with rattles are working well.
The key to catching big numbers of walleyes is
moving allot during peak feeding times, A.M. and
P.M. The mid day bite is slow and boring so if
you get on the fish in the morning they should
reappear in the late afternoon. Check out the
fish these buddy's caught on our last guided
trip. There was 14 of us and we limited out both
days. WOW what a day. we still have a few
opening's for the winter so quit wish'n go
fish'n.

December 28,
2009 Fishing Report
 We had our first group of 7 guys out today
(12-28-2009) and the fishing was good for the
big weather change we had. The water is a little
dirty on the west end and the fish are
responding to it. When we get dirty water the
fish seem to bite during the day versus the
first and last our of the day. Walleyes like it
dark, but when the sun isnt out it's pitch dark
down there. So with a lake with no night bite
you can see why the fish are feeding during the
day. Back to the catch we ended up with 25
Walleyes, 7 Perch and a couple pike to go with
them. Check out the pictures below of a couple
dandy's that we released, A 24 incher and a 28
incher.

DEVILS LAKE, N.D. – As a full time guide, Jason Feldner spends
over 200 days a year on Devils Lake, his favorite body of
water. To say he’s in tune with its seasonal walleye migration
is a severe understatement. But when the ice finally receded
on Devils this spring, even he struggled with the high-water
conditions.
After coming up empty in his
traditional honeyholes, Feldner finally gave up and began
treating Devils as a new body of water. Some of his favorite
trees had been ripped away by the ice and other productive
areas suddenly had an additional five feet of water on them.
It took some time, but the Minnewaukan, N.D., native finally
figured it out. He started putting his clients on good fish
and then a few months later the FLW Walleye Tour rolled into
town. |
Most of the Tour pros started
practice by returning to their favorite trees. Just like Feldner
and other locals learned months earlier, this is a different
Devils Lake. The bobber bite was off altogether and the crankbait
bite was just so-so.
Feldner was dialed in from the start. On day one he caught a limit
weighing 17 pounds, 15 ounces – taking over a lead he would never
relinquish. Days two and three were more difficult, but he still
managed sizeable stringers – 15-2 and 15-13 to be precise.
“I was pulling Lindy spinners in Pelican Lake in 9 to 12 feet of
water,” said Feldner. “The blades I’m using just came out at ICAST
a few weeks ago. Bluegill, perch and fathead minnow were my main
three patterns. Fathead minnow was better in the sun and perch and
bluegill were good when it was cloudy.”
 Earlier
in the week, Feldner also mixed in the new Lindy Shadling, but on
the final day all of his keepers came on the spinners. Behind
those blades was a two-hook crawler harness.
“I was fishing the bottom of the water column and trolling at
approximately 1 to 1.5 mph.”
The bite was slow early Saturday. In fact, Feldner’s first two
spots, the same areas that produced nearly all of his
opening-round weight, were void of fish.
“We had nothing in the livewell at 11 a.m. Then we moved to our
third spot, a spot I’d been saving for the finals, and finally we
found active fish. We had one 400- to 500-yard stretch where we
caught all eight. At about noon, the big kicker hit. In those two
hours, I bet we caught 20 or so. Once they turn on, they turn on.
And you’ve got to be in the right place at the right time.”
With the addition of optional pot money the 37-year-old earned
$17,750.

2nd YEAR LUND
PRO JASON FELDNER TAKES HOME TITLE 2007
 Congratulations
go out to Lund Pro Jason Feldner and his fishing partner Chris
Koth on their $30,000 win at the Lowrance Pro Team Walleye Circuit
Championship held at Devil’s Lake, ND August 22-24, 2007.
Jason and Chris
are both from Minnewauken, ND and guide on Devil’s Lake year
round. This makes two wins in as many years for Jason on Devil’s
Lake. Jason also took the title of “Champion” home when he won the
2006 Professional Walleye Trail event at Devil’s.
Jason and Chris
lead after the first two days of competition with a total of 23.74
lbs. In the Lowrance Pro Team format, only the top 13 teams
advance to the final day and all teams start over at 0.00 lbs. On
day 3, it took Jason and Chris only eleven minutes to put a limit
of walleyes in the boat. They estimated those 5 to weigh about 22
lbs.
North Dakota is a
no cull state, so you can put eight fish in your livewell and
weigh your biggest five. Once you put your 8th fish in the
livewell you must quit fishing and return to the weigh-in
location. It only took them another hour to add three more fish in
the 6-7 lb. range to complete their day of fishing by 9:30 a.m.
and allowed them to weigh a final day five fish limit of 31.29
lbs! What an amazing catch.
Jason and his
wife Shelle own and operate Percheyes guide service out of
Minnewauken. He has also been featured on John Gillespie’s Waters
and Woods TV show shown on Fox Sports North. |

2006 WALLEYE
TOURNEY |
|
I had a chance to fish my first PWT walleye tourney this year and
ended up winning it on my first try. The first day I came in at
10:30 am with 28 pounds of walleye for five fish, I was in second
place. Day two I came in at 11:00 am with 26 pounds of walleye to
hold myself in second place. Day three took me all day to catch
21.42 pounds to put me in first place and to win the tourney with
a 7 pound gap between me and second place. It was awesome! My
three day total was a little over 75 pounds of Walleye for 15
fish. I guess all that time on the water paid off. |
