Fishing Report Lakes Oahe/Sharpe Pierre area forSeptember 21 thru the 24th 2015

[Hutch]

The report hasn't changed much from the last one in that fishing is still Spotty. The river (Sharpe) around Pierre is busy and if you get in the right area's limits are being taken on plugs /minnows/jigs and bouncer/crawler/minnows but since the fish are concentrated in several community spot areas you will probably be fishing around other boats. Oahe on the other hand has much less boat traffic so getting away from the crowds is easier on the big lake. Smallmouth are still going strong on Oahe but walleye are tougher to get. I along with Guides Gail and John guided the Dow Agri group ramrodded by new boss Emma for one day of mostly smallmouth fishing and one day walleye fishing on Sharpe catching an over all nice bag of fish for them however we did not get possession limits this year. Everyone had a great time and just another great repeat business group that I have been able to guide over the years. An example of a great company paying back loyal employee's for working hard. I then Guided Richard and Debra Tesarek from Nebraska to a nice limit of walleye on Sharpe. A great couple and they still have another day to chase some bass. We caught the bass in around 20 to 30 fow on Oahe and most of the walleye on Sharpe in less than 10 fow. Crawler rigs for the walleye and Minnow/bouncer rigs for the bass were the baits of choice. We need some colder night temps to cool lake waters down and bring the walleye up shallow for a better fall bite but all around fishing is good for the experienced fishermen.
