FISHING REPORT LAKES OAHE/SHARPE MAY 7TH TO THE 10TH 2017

[Hutch]

I took Dave Hafner and friend out for what turned out to be three days after they limited out on walleye and smallmouth deciding to stay and get some catfish on day three. We caught possession limits of walleye and smallmouth on Sharpe in around 5 fow on bouncer minnow or jig minnow rigs and then went to Oahe keeping 20 nice channel cats on slip bobber/smelt rigs. These twin city guys were great customers and we all had a ball. The bite continues to be limits for most boats on Sharpe from Pierre down to the bend but slower for walleye on Oahe. Here catfish/northern are the most common fish in the bag. Weather is starting to be more spring like with temps in the 60's and 70 degree range daily. Still prepare for some not so nice days this time of the year as weather is usually the biggest factor in having great trips. Boat traffic was moderate to busy on SHARPE to have the lake almost to yourself on Oahe. Water surface temps in mid 50's on Sharpe and high 40's to 50 degrees on the big lake.
