About Your Trip

Fish the legendary waters of the Missouri River system near Pierre, South Dakota on a flexible, multi-species trip built around staying on fish and adapting to seasonal conditions. These trips primarily focus on Lake Sharpe and Lake Oahe, with opportunities to fish nearby glacial lakes as well—especially when targeting Northern Pike.

Every trip is customized based on time of year, weather conditions, and the species you want to target, giving you a tailored experience rather
than a one-size-fits-all day on the water. Whether you’re after hard-fighting Smallmouth Bass, trophy Northern Pike, steady-action Walleye, or schooling White Bass, the plan is adjusted to put you in the best position for success.

Fishing techniques vary depending on the target species and current conditions. For Smallmouth Bass, expect a more active, lure-focused approach using artificials and light tackle techniques. Walleye trips often incorporate live bait presentations, along with jigging, trolling, and bottom fishing methods to stay dialed into the bite. Pike trips can involve covering water with artificials around structure and shallow zones where aggressive fish are feeding.

You’ll be fishing from a 2023 19’ Ranger, powered by a Mercury 200, giving you a smooth, fast, and capable platform for covering water efficiently throughout the day.

Launch locations can vary depending on the fishery and conditions, and pickup arrangements may also be available depending on the trip. After booking, Captain Corey will coordinate directly with you to dial in the best plan for your trip dates and target species.

All trips are designed to be approachable for anglers of all experience levels while still giving experienced fishermen the flexibility to fish hard and cover water efficiently. Lodging may also be available for select trips depending on availability and location.

If you’re looking for a versatile freshwater trip with the ability to target multiple species across some of South Dakota’s best fisheries, this trip delivers a well-rounded day on the water.
