Happy 4th of July Weekend Everyone!
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.
Limits In-between Summer Storms
This group out of North Platte caught some right away in the morning, then we went to shore twice for rain and lightening in the distance. We managed to get back out there and get our limits of walleye and other species between storms and got back safely to the resort. Amen.
Lake Oahe. Great weather, great fishing!
You can tell these guys had a great time catching walleye on Lake Oahe by the smiles on their faces.
Missouri couple take in some Lake Oahe walleye fishing
Pete and Peg from St. Louis, Missouri stopped by for a day of fishing on Lake Oahe. Windy conditions made fishing difficult, but they managed to catch and release a few smaller ones and a nice 22 inch walleye.
Excellent Catch on Lake Oahe
Had a great time with Darrell Johnson of Spearfish and his two grandsons on Lake Oahe today. Winds were SE 20 mph and we drifted a small flat west of little bend around 8-10 feet.
Lake Oahe Walleyes
We fished Lake Oahe the last three days, our best day was Friday with four limits of nice walleye. The fish are looking a lot healthier this year due to the smelt spawn and stocking the lower end with walleye has helped tremendously.
Great Day on Lake Sharpe
We had a great day on Lake Sharpe. We finished up around 1:30 pm. Caught lots of walleye shallow, around 6-8 feet.
Walleye Bite Near Pierre
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.
COVID-19 Update
The fish are biting in Pierre. I had to go out by myself. If you can get here safely I can arrange an isolated fishing trip for you while your here.
Oahe Salmon
We got these two first thing yesterday morning down below my house on Lake Oahe. They are running around 5 pounds apiece. What a beautiful day. We had another one on that bent the rod down like a snag. It was hard to get out of the rod holder. After clearing the other two rods and hitting the boat out towards deeper water we fought the fish for about four minutes and he let go. Got another one after that. Enough for a nice meal for all of us.
Fish are biting in Pierre
This year with no rain or snow the water is really clear which is great. The bite varies from pitching jigs on the sandbars around Pierre in 5 to 8 feet versus jigging for walleye down south and west bend at 30 to 40 feet. Nice days with no wind are the best this time of year.
Winter is here
We had 8 to 12 inches of snow on the ground and it’s hard to get anywhere. Hundreds of pheasants are wintered up in the trees for the rest of the winter. We will start feeding them probably after the first of the year. The snow has crusted up all the cornfields and it looks we’re in for another one. My friend Jim from Montana came out and brought his great dogs for a winter hunt. He’s a lot tougher than I am trudging through crusty snow. His dogs toenails were bleeding some from the sharp snow as well. We left them alone in the tree belts and found just enough birds feeding in the snow filled hunting strips to get his limit each day.
