The water temperatures dropped dramatically with the help of the strong cold front that moved through the area last week. As a result, the bite, including a decent perch bite, turned on in some areas once the wind died. Summer is NOT over yet, so don't give up on the shallows. In Todd's Tackle Tips, Todd talks about technique specific rods! If you like this video, give us a "like"! | Dakota Angler

Ice conditions have definitely improved this week with the arctic air firmly entrenched across the area. However, some lakes in southeast South Dakota still have variable ice thickness so a few pilot holes may be warranted. With more people going out, more fish are being caught!

As the water temperatures continue to drop the walleye bite is definitely heating up! Looking for that trophy? Head to Oahe and use the WNC Reapers! Last year the State Record walleye was broke twice, will it repeat again this Fall? Plenty of big 'eyes have already been caught. With the cooler weather, it's definitely time to talk Ice Institute! www.dakotaangler.com www.dakotaanglericeinstitute.com | Dakota Angler

The weather has been all over the map this past week, but when it was nice - people were out and catching fish. The Missouri River continues to be the most consistent bite right now mainly using jigs and minnows. In Todd's Tackle Tips, Todd talks about using an "ice fishing tool" year-round! | Dakota Angler

In between periodic storms, people were able to get out and hit the water. It looks like we've turned the corner in many areas of the state as the bite has definitely improved in many area lakes. The Missouri River is better the further north you go, but the Platte/Pickstown areas are showing signs of improving.

The big story has been the continuation of big trophy walleyes being caught on Lake Oahe. Despite the more unsettled weather, people were still having plenty of luck pulling WNC Reapers. Other than that, eastern SD lakes are still producing nice 'eyes for those that haven't winterized their boat.

Mother Nature did not help with the ice situation this past weekend across eastern South Dakota. Honestly, at this time there is no fishable ice in eastern South Dakota that is safe. I think that should change next week as the cold weather, hopefully with little wind, will help lock the lakes back up and start building a solid thick sheet of ice! Let's hope 2024 starts out better than 2023 is ending! | Dakota Angler

With even warmer weather, the bite has become a little more consistent in most areas. However with the warmer water temps, the crappie and pike bite has tappered off somewhat. Presentations are also starting to switch over to more "summer-like", such as slow death. Check out Todd discussing Artificial Baits in Todd's Tackle Tips! | Dakota Angler

Mixed fishing success continued this past weekend and even with all the wind we saw on Saturday. The walleye bite was definitely better on the Missouri River and on lakes in northeast South Dakota compared to those in the southeast. We need the weather to become more stable and the walleyes will respond. The crappie are beginning to spawn and so that bite should turn on as well. In Todd's Tackle Tips, he talks about some bottom bouncer combos and discusses the upcoiming Memorial Day sale! | Dako

Windy, wet, and chilly describe the past week and the fishing success was pretty chilly as well. The number of people that braved the elements was limited this past week, but it seems the most consistent bite was on the shores of the Missouri River. People throwing Berkley Hit Sticks and/or Rapala Floating Raps after sunset had some pretty good luck as the walleye spawn really picks up.

The weather was a little more unsettled and that definitely impacted the number of people hitting the water. Everyone that went out was trying something a little different to trigger the bite, so don't limit yourself to one type of presentation.

Despite the drier and calmer days, the fish didn't cooperate every day. Watch Todd explain why that may have occurred and see if it starts to make sense with your experiences. Bittier seems to be the most consistent lake producing walleyes right now, but you still need to be selective. Big Stone - a great place to take family right now.

The ice conditions around the area have taken a hit with the warm weather, rain, and wind. Vehicle traffic on the ice is pretty much non-existent as the accesses to the lakes are rough. However, those that are walking out and in some locations using ATV's, they're finding some nice walleyes and perch.
