FISHING REPORT LAKES OAHE/SHARPE PIERRE AREA FOR JULY 24TH 25TH 26TH 2017

[Hutch]

I just finished guiding two couples from around the Marion Ks area. The Dotsons and Fanter's could certainly turn out to be in the numerous all time favorite repeats if they return next year as I really enjoyed taking this group. We fished Sharpe for their trip catch of full possession limits of walleye and a few other species. We did not catch a lot of bigger walleye but at West Bend the numbers were very good catching and releasing. probably four fish for every fish they kept. The catch was eater size walleye mostly and we caught these fish in depths from 12 fow out to 20 fow on nightcrawler/bouncer rigs some plain hook and some smiley blades. It always helps us guides when we have experienced customers. All four of this group knew how to catch the fish making my job easy. The weather was summer (hot) but for the most part we had a nice breeze blowing so we really didn't notice it until coming a shore. Some days there are biting fly's around so be prepared with either repellant or long pants. Drinking plenty of liquid's like water or sports drinks are just a must on these hot days. The fishing continues to be a good numbers game but many day's just a few big fish in most catches. Fishing pressure is thinning down some especially during the week so finding places to fish with out numerous boats around is easier for those that like finding spots to fish with out a lot of pressure on them. I think almost all the big catches that I have had over the years did not involve fishing in community spots. Hunting new spots and just hunting the fish has always been what kept me interested and excited about every new day on the water. Love to eat walleye and love for my customers to catch them but the hunt to me is the best part.
