Group from Kansas enjoyed a three day South Dakota pheasant hunt
This group of 11 from Atchison, Kansas area enjoyed a three day pheasant hunt at our farm last week. Some of them went duck hunting one morning. We had quite a few ducks around before Monday’s wind and rain.
Guided for the Outpost Lodge
I guided for the Outpost Lodge Thursday down on Lake Sharpe. We caught this nice mess of walleye. Two overs and some nice 17-19 inchers. All very healthy and growing.
Great walleye bite for Minnesota group on Lake Sharpe
Fished a group from Minnesota on Lake Sharpe and we had our limits by 11:00 AM. Largest walleye was around 24 inches.
25 inch Walleye Released on Lake Sharpe
Kansas angler releases 25″ walleye on Lake Sharpe
Great fall fishing in Pierre, South Dakota
The bite is on from the bridges in Pierre down to Farm Islands flats. The fish are healthy and larger than last year. There are a lot of small ones to release, especially up by the bridges. We have openings from September 29 through October 17th.
Nice walleyes caught in Lake Sharpe near Pierre
The walleye bite in Lake Sharpe is picking up. I was guiding the Wilbur Ellis group out of Nebraska for the Outpost Lodge. Yesterday we won the five fish weigh-in with a 26-incher caught. Today we had our limits by noon. Get a hold of me there are some openings for the next couple weekend.
Walleye and Catfish bite on Lake Oahe
This time of year with all the bait fish available, the walleye fishing has slowed down but the catfish we are catching is off the charts. Some of the larger cats really fight and are hard to bring in. My fingers are raw from removing hooks from fish. There’s a 1 gallon bag fillet limit in my boat. We have also been getting about a 1 gallon bag of walleye also.
Healthy walleyes continue to grow on Lake Oahe
The depths vary between 15 to 30 feet deep. Depending on the wind and temperature conditions. Most anglers are using crawlers and bottom bouncers and others are using spinners and propeller rigs. The trolling bite has been fair to good also around the 15 to 25 foot range. Not much to report yet on salmon.
Walleye Heading Deeper & Growing Larger
Walleyes growing larger and going deeper in Lake Oahe. No sign of weight loss going on with these fish. In fact some of them fight as good to the boat as the smallmouth.
Walleye on the Move
Walleye are moving down into lower Oahe. The bite excellent from the Cheyenne down to Chantier Creek on both sides. The fish are shallow migrating in 5 to 15 feet due to the bait clouds and high water levels. They range from 14 to 20 inches and are chunky. Get a hold of me for August trips. We have open days available.
