FISHING REPORT LAKES OAHE/SHARPE PIERRE AREA FOR SEPTEMBER 11TH THRU THE 20TH 20

[Hutch]

As the fishing season will soon start to wind down I will be posting reports at more of a weekly rate unless something changes drastically. I guided the Jeremy Farris group for a two day trip and then went on to guide the Bob Staroska group of repeat customers from Ne and then did a trip for the Outpost Lodge and finished with a trip for one day with Tom Caldwell from Rapid.City. All of these trips produced walleye and Bass if we went after them. On Sharpe we are still catching the walleye on crawler bouncer presentations in 10 fow or less and on Sharpe the bass in 20 to 30 fow with walleye starting to come in but from depths of around 40 fow. Minnow/bouncer rigs is what we have been using on Oahe for the bass with nightcrawlers still best for walleye. Just a great bunch of customers with some days being tougher especially on Sharpe with the 15 inch slot limit. Fishing on Sharpe can be tough if we get a lot of wind muddying the water up. That along with not enough or two much current can slow the bite but if every thing is going right the bite can be excellent for eating size fish. As the nights start to cool bringing temps down look for a minnow/jig bite and hopefully a nice fall bite on both lakes. Everything now will have to do more with the weather so hope for those great fall days.
