Lakes Oahe/Sharpe Pierre area fishing report for May 18th 19th and 20th 2014

[Hutch]

I finished guiding Brad Steed and his friend Rhett Daily two real nice guys from around KC Mo to real nice fish limits of walleye on the Cheyenne river arm of Oahe. They were wanting to take a lot of fish home for a big fish fry so since there is no limit on catfish I took them in the back of a couple of creeks on Oahe and sent them home with over 50 channel catfish and a real nice bunch of Northern pike catching one fish topping 20 lbs two around 17 to 18 lbs and five more we kept around 12 to 14 lbs. We also lost some real big pike as we are catching them on dead smelt in 3 fow that due to rising water is full of weeds. These big fish are tough to turn and when they run they cut even 30 lb test fire line but these two guys had a great time catching them day one and so back we went for another day. We caught all the walleye on minnows or gulp/bouncers in 14 fow to 23 fow. and all the catfish/ northern pike on slip bobbers/smelt very shallow. There is a real good bite on Sharpe from Pierre down to the Big Bend area and on Oahe mostly in feeder creeks in the warmer stained water. Night crawlers are starting to work in all these area's.
