High School freshman catches nice walleye on July 23rd. I had the two younger boys Kaleb and Cole today. Today was Cole’s personal best walleye 8 1/2 pounds 27 1/2 inches. They are part of a family group that has been fishing here for more than 20 years.

We guided the Hilgemann group from Stratford, Wisconsin. It was finally a nice day and we go some nicer walleye to show for it. We have had our share of wind this year. The walleye are still coming out of 25 to 35 feet of water. There are small 12-14″ walleye everywhere in the system and you just have to go through the smaller walleye to get a couple larger ones here and there. Hopefully they will stay shallow all season. We are catching 40 to 50 fish on a good day.

There were lots of boats out there fishing and recreating today. Everyone looks to be having a great time. We managed to catch this nice stringer of walleye also. The fish seem to be anywhere from 13 to 22 feet. We caught a couple on cranks yesterday but it was somewhat slow bottom bouncers and slow death seem to be better.

We had a great day on Lake Sharpe. We finished up around 1:30 pm. Caught lots of walleye shallow, around 6-8 feet.

Although we had a cool spring the warmer weather has finally arrived. Walleyes large, small and all sizes in between are being caught. Get away from the riots and come out to Pierre for a little relaxation! We have June 14-20 open.
