Bluegill
Looking for some consistent bluegill action? Pick City, North Dakota, and the surrounding waters of Lake Sakakawea can deliver. While Sakakawea is a massive reservoir, the bluegill tend to congregate in shallower, protected areas. Focus on bays with weed beds, docks, or submerged structure. Spring and early summer, during the spawn, are particularly productive. The key is to use light tackle and small baits. A simple bobber and worm rig is a classic and effective method. Small jigs and ice fishing lures can also be deadly. Look for areas where the water is relatively clear, as bluegill are sight feeders. A local tip is to try fishing around the marina in Pick City – the docks and pilings often hold good numbers of bluegill. Be mindful of the wind, as it can pick up quickly on Sakakawea. Check the North Dakota fishing regulations for size and creel limits before you go.
