tweet0753 Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Will be traveling to Yankton to fish with an old Navy buddy from Lincoln next week. First trip there, trying the walleyes. Any advice folks? Thanks for your time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN_Husker Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 I have always had good luck in the summer with lindy rigs and slip bobbers on the NE side west of Weigand. Usually fish within 100 yards of the shore/bluffs. I have never fished L & C this time of year. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpitnArgueDuckClub* Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 I believe the fishing below the dam is the best bet right now, if you have a boat. If you are boatless I am not sure at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prov1900 Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Just got back from there this afternoon. We fished below the dam and had a great day. 23.5" and 18" were the biggest walleyes, but caught a lot of fish period. Smallies, catfish, sauger, walleyes, and the occasional accidental paddlefish. Great day on the water. I have heard that the fishing on the big lake is hot as well, but they are deep for whatever reason. I think about the time you get here, they will be moving in. This has been a really great year for Gavins Point. Let me know what your gameplan is and I will do everything I can to put you on some fish. We jigged down below and caught fish all morning long. I think it is just going to get better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walleye4 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Man, I need to get up there! I've been hearing that the bite was good below the dam! Might have to make a trip up after I get back from KS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweet0753 Posted November 17, 2009 Author Share Posted November 17, 2009 Prov1900 does your presentation change in the lake vs below the dam? What are the depths below the dam? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prov1900 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 The depths below fluctuate quite a bit, but you can generally find fish throughout. If I had to pick a "perfect" depth from last Saturday, 12-14 feet seemed to produce the most. Two words...current seams...From the ramps, you will encounter 5 feet to approx 25 feet. Travel is really pretty safe to and from. As far as up top, I haven't fished it, but the last thing I heard the eyes were at 50 feet. I assume they have come in quite a ways since as it is starting to cool down. The presentations really remain the same, as far as I am concerned. Down below, lots of people were anchoring, but we used the trolling motor to look for biters. Let me know if you have any other questions. I think you will do just fine. Captain Norms will load you up with minnows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
