Fishing report Lakes Oahe/Sharpe Pierre area for September 20th thru Sept 30th 2

[Hutch]

I took a week off so I have not been keeping up the reports however I am back on the water now. I guided the Todd Harder group of repeat customers to one day of poor results fishing the Joe Creek area on Sharpe. I went their mainly to get out of 50 mph forecast wind and they did come so we went in early. The next day we fished Oahe getting limits of walleye and a big northern. We caught these fish in around 20 fow on mostly minnow/crawler rigs. I then fished a father son & son in law group of guys Don Spencer, Steve Spencer and Mike Morris for a trip once again plagued by real unstable weather conditions with the last day bringing 40 to 50 mph winds. We did have one day of nice weather getting limits of 17 inch avg size walleye and some catfish. Another day had strong winds and we did get walleye but did not limit. Real nice guys that had bad luck with the weather. That brings me to say that on Oahe the walleye, smallmouth fishing is good when the weather is good but if you get big wind/ rain days you can have limited success. Sharpe around Pierre remains spotty with running a lot of water a daily occurrence. I think the fall bite will be very good especially on Oahe but pay attention to forecasts whenever possible.
