Oahe Fishing Report

[fishntinner]

Heard there is a pretty good walleye bite near Akaska. Was wondering if anyone has checked this out and if it may be worth the trip. I would probably check into a local guide. If anyone can help.... I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Who is this?? I am also a fishin "tinner" I work for Tessier's in Mitchell. Maybe I'm way off!? Anyway, I heard the same thing. Would be willing to make the trip if anyone was interested.

Hi. I'm a local #10 sheetmetal worker and work for Sentra-Sota Sheetmetal in St. Cloud. Been on Oahe several times in the summer but never in the winter. Still thinking about a trip this coming weekend March 4,5,6. Anyone you know been out there?

I am also local #10. Same local, just less pay!!Less miles to my kinda fishing too!! Maybe we will run into each other someday.... I was @ dry lake by the town Willow lake on Saturday..managed 3 walleye, the largest was 19.5-Then went to swan lake near Bradley SD and stayed till it was too dark to see my poles, all I caught was a couple pike 1 was 33" so it was fun anyway.... well, good luck!!

Fishntinner, you may want to check in with Jess Schilling from Akaska. He guides out there and will put you on some fish.

Thanks for the reply Walleyewizard. We actually are coming out Fri and Sat and using one of the Schilling's (I beleive there are 2 of them)for Sat as guide for the day. Got some favorable info on them from some guys in St. Cloud. Sounds like the weather will be pretty decent, so we'll see what happens. Hey Hawgfish, we must really be alike, my wife says the same thing. Good Luck fishing. Wish our season was open year round!!!

Fishntinner, tell the boys that one of Gillies gas-passing friends from Minnesota recommended them. Those guys really know that area well. We go out there in June and fish out of Bushes landing. Let me know how you do. Also, my son lives in "Cloudy Town" and I would like to try some ice fishing with him. If you could give me some suggestions on where to go I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

IceGuy, could you e-mail me the link you had posted? I looked at it once but forgot to bookmark it.
