Today was the first real good day for fishing on Oahe in sometime. We had three boats go out today. Two of the three didn't do so well only getting one nice walleye to the boat only to be knocked off by the net. I also went out today, got on the water about 10:00 am and fished until 5:00 pm. Caught nine walleyes, 8 of which were over 20 inches the biggest being just a shy under 26. My only under fish was 19 &7/8. Also caught 8 small mouth bass all around the 17 inch mark but very fat. Will post a photo of the largest fish later tonight or tomorrow. Have to find the usb cord first lol.

I think the fishing will only get better as time goes. The females are just starting to eat again after the spawn and the males are full of smelt, from the smelt run.

Any questions please reply or give me a call @ 1-605-264-5465

Good luck fishing everyone. Any questions Give me a call @ 1-605-264-5465

Lake Oahe on May 9 and 11

The weather has made fishing challenging. We had two decent days sandwiched around wind, some rain and cooler temps. Surface water temperature has been running 48 to 50 degrees. The few fisherman out in this area are catching a lot of smallies and a few walleye. Each are nice sized, 17-18 inch smallies, 20+ inch walleye. Fish are being caught in shallow water, most in the back of bays, where weeds are coming up.

Pierre and surrounding areas

Over the past couple weeks have made it out on the water a couple of times. Below the dam the fishing is still great. You have to pick through the little ones but should have no problem bring in a limit of 16- 18 inch fish, with an occasional fish over 20. Just on Monday saw a walleye that was 33.5 inches long caught pulling plugs.

Southern Lake Oahe is slow but the fish caught are very nice. i went out on Wednesday of this week and pulled plugs around little bend for a couple of hours and caught two smallies that were 17+ and two northern that were between 6 and 8 pounds. Mobridge is starting to pick up, but people are having a hard time catching fish under 20 inches

The Salmon bite is starting to pick up as well. Most people are fishing for them around the intakes but you can find them most places on the lake.

The PWT is here this week fishing below the dam will post the final weights on Monday May 12th.
Any questions about the fishing give me a call @ 1-605-264-5465
