Lake Oahe Fishing Reports

This past week the fishing has stayed pretty much the same here in The Swan Creek area.  Tons of 13 to 16in walleyes can be caught.  We are getting some bigger fish and some overs, but it is definitely a numbers game.  There are lots of good fish being caught pitching jigs up shallow.  Most of these fish are on the points that have some rock or gravel on them.  Dragging lindy rigs and or spinners seems to work about anywhere you try it,  12 fow. on out.  We have really started using a lot of crawlers here now.  It doesn't seem to make much difference on which one the fish want.  Yesterday was the first day this season I was able to go out and concentrate on only crappies..  We had a ball.  Three of us were able to keep 31 really nice crappies.  We caught every fish on 1/8 oz jigs tipped with various plastics.  We also did very well on a pink lindy fuzzy grub tipped with a minnow.  Lindy has a plastic called a Wutzit that worked as good as any.  We only put in a few hours in the afternoon and found most of our fish in 12fow or less.  We caught these fish in the Moreau River and there was a nice mixture of real nice down to just keepers,  plenty of fish in the 12 to 13 in. range.  The bite is as good as it gets,  being able to go catch a nice limit of walleyes and then add in a great batch of crappies, hard to beat.
