curtisce Posted June 9, 2021 Posted June 9, 2021 First trip in 2013 was for 4 days of fishing. This year I went up Sunday before Memorial Day and stayed till the Saturday after Memorial day, 13 days of fishing. Wind is always a factor. It would keep us off the lake at times but we managed to get out each day to fish despite the elements. Had one night with a freeze and the day we left my truck thermometer read 101 so quite a change in 2 weeks. We fished 10 different lakes ,caught 8 different spieces of fish. Targeted mostly bass, both small and largemouth but would catch penty of pike and a few walleyes doing that . GP Ned was the favorite bait but caught some of the bass on bubble gum flukes . Jerkbaits and crankbaits as well. We bottom bounced a bit for walleye but swimbaits produced as well and certainly more entertaining. bigges SM was 5.25#, biggest LM 6.5# , and my best 5 fish day was 22.75# all SM. We camped at the state park on Roy , had a few fish frys , and ate a few night at Club Eden the local watering hole. Camp after 16 hours of rain Battling the wind, thank god for spotlock Pat wiht the largest SM 5.25# He caught the largest LM too 6.5# 5# SM My second 5# SM of the day 3SM of the day My son with a nice one Doubling up both caught on a ned Love these guys nomolites, snagged in outlet 3, FishnDave and 4 others 7 The answer may not lie at the bottom of a glass, but you should always check

curtisce Posted June 9, 2021 Author Posted June 9, 2021 Glacial lakes region in NE South Dakota. It's a very interesting area geologically speaking.You can see on the map all the lake there are in the area. This area is about 600 ft higher in elevation than the surrounding area which doesnt have the number of lakes. Roy Lake is the Lake just SW of Lake City The answer may not lie at the bottom of a glass, but you should always check

Find an area with large boulder size rock throw a fluke or ned by it .most of the time we did long cast but sometime we would come up on one and see the nest. Many times you wouldn't feel the bite but you could see the fish move off the nest with the bait so you just set the hook.
