Lake Oahe Walleye Fishing Reports

Hey everybody, sorry I havn't posted a report for awhile, still recovering from the SD Walleye Classic.  What an awesome week with great events, great people and an incredible bite that only Lake Oahe could produce.  The bite that week was as good as anyone could of ask for and it seems to be still going strong.  The numbers havn't been there for me, but the size is the best I have seen in years.  The last two days I was able to get limits, but the number of overs we went through today was a treat to say the least.   We caught a total of 19 walleyes today with 10 of them being over 20 inches,  most of them were over 22 inches.  We had 2 fish over 25 inches.  The last two days I have been pulling cranks, mostly because of the gusty NW winds.  We have been using planner boards with Husky Jerks, 600 series reef runners and Lindy Shadlings.  We caught most of our fish yesterday on lead core, but today they seemed to favor the boards up high in the water column.  (If its white, it right) seems to still be a good game plan, but other colors like perch and gold did see some action. One of the boats that fished with us today did catch a big salmon, which was a great thing to see.  Hopefully this is sign of things to come.

Along with tournament fishing, Chad’s passion is spending time with his family and the third generation of Schillings’ looks to be taking great interest in the family business.   Chad’s two children, Samantha (4) and Beau (3), love the outdoors, too! In Chad’s down time he enjoys fishing at his pond, catching blue gills and walleyes, teaching his kids to enjoy the outdoor lifestyle he holds so dear. The kids also love to join the hunters in the field when the situation allows. Chad’s wife of 7 years, Shonda, is also very active in the business. She is not only an exceptional outdoors person herself, but has done some limited guiding of pheasant and taken some awesome big game animals. According to Shonda, “We are trying to create that “coming home” feeling for our clients! We want this to be a place that people can bring their families and we strive to ensure a rewarding and memorable experience.”
