Oahe report Mobridge

[Kurtr]

I guess i dont really give a shit that much. It gives people a good reason when they suck at fishing not to catch fish i guess

Went out today and started pulling cranks since I had only a few live minnows. Ended up trying BB with gulp worms and minnows. No keepers and threw back some little ones. There were a few other boats out in the Yates area but I didn't see them catching any keepers either.

Mobridge tournament

We went to Mobridge today after hearing my buddy bringing easy limits in last week. It's an hour drive and we didn't get a line wet until 10. Quit at 330 with only 5.

Got a report of a shit ton of white bass floating in the grand. Wonder what the hell is killing them

I was at the state line on Saturday and there were white bass floating all over as well. Not sure what is going on. Kept 5 eyes but definately slower and smaller in size.

I remember when that happened but water temp yesterday up here was 69 and Wed in Mobridge it was 67.

 

[Kurtr]

Ya thats the odd thing the water isnt that warm

 

[sdwxman]

yeah I saw some dead fish Friday/Saturday, but I heard there was a lot of dead bass around Sunday. Also the bite really took a nosedive. Lots of skunked boats Sunday. Saturday was a grind to get our fish.

 

[Rowdie]

We got 2 Sunday and only caught a few dinks. Didn't see other boats catching any

 

[Allen]

I would imagine this is also killing the small white bass. The walleyes and pike are likely taking great advantage of this. Not unlike when there are large smelt die-offs on Sakakawea. It tends to make fishing difficult.

During hot weather and fast water temperature increase this stresses the fish, they sufficate... lakes in my area with ciscos go first ,walleyes caught deep brought up to fast won't recover in water temps 70+ degrees, lakes with thermal cline walleye stay below and are inaffected by rising water temps until caught.

The bald eagles should like it.
