People fish for many reasons, from tournaments to family relaxation. The level of expertise of anglers is
also highly varied. Some look forward to a relaxing day on the water, while others may want to learn a
new technique or locations of fish producing spots.
From walleye to carp, Lake Oahe is a diverse fishery with a ton of fun at the end of your line. Whatever
your reason for booking a day with me, understand that I will do my utmost to make your day on the
lake an enjoyable / learning experience. Whether you're novice or experienced, you'll enjoy a memorable
fishing trip using dependable equipment at competitive and up-front rates.
Fishing Photos and Outdoor links
A link here connects you to numerous photos taken over the last few years - photos of walleye to
carp. Also included is a link to the SD Game, Fish and Parks website, where a person can become
acquainted with SD fishing rules and regulations. Fishing licenses may be purchased on-line at the
state website as well.
Rates and Equipment
Here's a list of the different packages that I offer and what I charge for each. The equipment that we'll
use is listed: my boat, its electronics, motors, rods/reels and misc. equipment.
NO FISH - NO PAY. A "No Pay" guarantee (excluding expenses) if the fish don't bite - for booked
summer outings. Your rate will be based on the fish we catch - half a limit will be half normal rate .
This, however, only applies to a full day of summer fishing.
Several packages are available. This link will get you to them and their rates. I can take out one
to four people, or I can arrange to have a large group guided with several boats (no pay guarantee
may not apply - ask about it). I'll work around what you need; from the time of day we fish, to the
length of time on the water.
In '10, I'm holding a "big fish" tournament where the person who catches the longest walleye on a
booked outing with me will win a free guided day in '11.
'09 Winner - Joe, from Omaha '10 Leader - Jake, from Minneapolis '10 2nd so far - Lukas from CO
24.5 inch walleye 27.25 inch walley 25.25 inch walleye

Pike don't count for my tourney, but check out the dandy northern pike caught by Glen, Dick, Bryan and Lowell on
the photos page.
Lake Oahe Contour Map CDs
Lake Oahe is a big lake. If you've never been here before, if you recently started using a GPS, or if you
just want to learn more about the Mobridge area, then this CD is for you.
The lake is up about 50 feet from when these were made. Please don't purchase without taking this
into consideration. They're still accurate, but the depths will just be 50 feet deeper.
