Fish and Baits

On this 123.6-acre water, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

During an opening pass on this midsize, shallow lake in Kidder County, make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.

Season by Season

Within this shallow water in Kidder County, shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.

A Simple Tackle Plan

On this midsize Kidder County lake, a medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle.

On this shallow water in Kidder County, record the wind, water color, productive depth, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce.
