After many days of unsuccessful fishing on lake Oahe I decided to go below the dam on Sunday. The fishing was ok, if he didn't mind the 10,000 boats that were out. We caught I'm guessing 20 to 30 walleye and were able to keep 8 of those. Fished from the bridges to farm island.


Got up yesterday and started to do some work outside here, the weather was just to nice decided to go fishing again on the main lake. So glad that I did. Went into the mouth a little ways and started pitching jigs to shore. Third cast picked up an 8 lbs walleye. and was catching smallies like no other. Drifted a little farther and picked up a 17 inch walleye on my dead poll in 10 feet of water.


Decided to move to a different spot did the same things and the action slowed way down. Was heading back to pike haven and decided to troll some crank baits, for a few min. Glad I did. I did this for one hour and in that hour caught another 8lbs 3 oz one and also caught a 24 inch and 2 that were just a hair over 22. Was pulling the baits in 15 to 20 feet of water.

holy cow!!! that is why you are a guide with a fancy blue sparkle boat and we are just silly boat riders. I think we tried those things and were rewarded with a couple of sticks. The lake was beautiful though.
