Ice off fishing near Mobridge.

The ice has pretty much melted off near Mobridge. The bays still have ice in them, but I feel confident enough to say that there isn't enough ice left to sustain any more ice fishing this year. We had a very slow winter as far as walleye ice fishing goes. It never was a problem graphing fish with electronics, but getting them to bite was another story. But I am hearing from several locals that the open water walleye fishing is at least hit and miss so far, which is better than the winter went. The smelt will soon be running so I would venture to guess that the walleyes will start biting better any day. And what fish I have seen that people have brought in are still nice, fat, and healthy.

Great report Mitchel,

Welcome to HotSpotOutdoors.com and OutdoorSouthDakota.com

This is the greatest resource of fishing information on the web. Glad to have you aboard.

I spend most of my childhood summers camped and Indian Creek and/or Indian Memorial camp ground. That was back when the river was the river and you could catch 6 fish per day and there were days where a 4+ lb average was attainable. I'm very fond of Oahe and the Mobridge area. My father has a 5th wheel at New Everest and he makes it out there about 2 weekends a month in the summer. I've fished the Wolves on Water tourney out there several times as well.

Again, welcome and great to have a reporter in the Mobridge area. That is one of my favorite places on earth to fish.

Thanks to all of you for the nice welcome. I will try to keep everyone up to date on the fishing near Mobridge. I have a couple of friends on the field staff here that talked me into posting for the Mobridge area. I will also try to do a little posting for hunting too come fall.

Again thanks to all.

      As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…

      I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...

      Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?

      I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.

      You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.

      Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.

      The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.

      It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.

      We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.

      I've been out on the flats. It's like being on a different planet
