    ND fishermen roll call?

    I'm wondering how many anglers are swinging through bbc? I fish alone often and would mind sharing a seat and knoledge with others. I fish shore sometimes, ice fish, have my own bass boat and two kayaks. So I guess I'm just hoping to get replys from fellow ND anglers who are on this site to see if there is 4 of us or 100?

    There's certainly not a ton of us from ND but more than you would think. I've noticed that from the Badlands Bass Bandits Facebook page. There's guys that comment on that page that I've never met that like to bass fish. That's saying something because I like to think that I'm quite the creeper when it comes to knowing my fellow bass fishermen in ND. You might not know who I am but I probably know who you are.

    I'll be leaving soon and moving to Nebraska so my days of bass fishing in ND are basically over. The good news is that Nebraska is in the same TBF division as ND so there is always the chance that I'll qualify for the NE state team and travel to ND when its our turn to hold the annual semi final tournament.

    I think I have eluded you unless you remember kayakers and or a 20' warrior with a talon that ugly green stripes on a white hull, however I bet I fouled up the shallow bite on spiritwood before a tournament in 2015

    You're right in that I don't know that boat. But I do know who you are. As for the tournament, I never fished spiritwood in 2015 for any tournament. But I do know of one that took place during the spawn that was apparently amazing.

    I live in Bismarck, I'm in the Bandits club and have a bass boat as well as kayaks. Weather is looking good next week so I will be out at Nelson trying to set the state record. Lol

    I'm thinking about taking both of them but not sure how the road is to
    get in. Might have to drag the yak down. If you want to go let me know.

    I went today and it was crazy. Got there at 12:15 and caught a fish or lost a fish on every single cast for the next 2 hours. Didn't matter what you used or what size. Had 9" fish eat a 10" worm and 3.5lbers eat a small swimbait. I will be there every day this week so if you want to head out let me know.

    You have to fish from shore. No way to get a vehicle down the road to the ramp. Unless you want to drag a yak bit all the fish are stacked in the outlet anyways.

    Today was another every cast day but nothing over 2 pounds. If you could stop the small ones from biting and be able to present a lure to a big one I know you would catch it. Just so hard to keep small ones off. I've thrown huge swimbaits, 10" worms, and the biggest jigs I have with papa pit boss trailers and it doesn't matter. A 12" fish will still hit it.
