        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.
