Lake Oahe, Missouri River - Saturday, January 22, 2011

Well yesterdays fishing was a little better.  3 of us left Swan Creek at about 2pm and headed accross to the west shore.  We planned on jumping around all day, but set down on a decent school of fish on the first point.  We ended up with 8 nice eyes,  a few cats and a pike by dark.  We also released some small fish, but at least the number of small fish were not out of controll like has been the case lately.  Most of the fish came from 26 to 35 fow and they pretty much ate anything that I wasn't trying.  Yes, Bill H. and Jess gave me a but kicking.  They were good about it and didn't rub it in.  Yeah right.  We planned on going again this mourning, but the wind kept us inside.  Hopefully this is a start of things to come.  We marked a ton of fish and we all agreed that it should only get better.  Now some nice weather would really help.
