FISHING REPORT LAKES OAHE/SHARPE MAY 1ST TO MAY 5 2017

[Hutch]

The bite for both walleye and smallmouth is going at a great spring fishing rate. Most boats fishing Sharpe from Pierre down to West Bend are doing limits daily. Water temps close to Pierre approaching 50 degrees and over 50 at the bend. Oahe still cold with action great for catfish and some big northern but slow yet for walleye. I guided the Sederlin bunch of my favorite repeat customers to full possession limits of both bass and walleye so on day three we went after catfish keeping 52 nice eaters around 3 lb. avg. These guys know how to catch the fish and we had a blast. We caught the walleye and bas in 7fow or less on Jigs/minnows and bouncer minnows along with some pulling flicker shad plugs. Caught all the catfish in 3 fow on smelt. They went home with a lot of bags of fish. Weather is still the key here so watch that but plenty of action around Pierre.
