Francis Case Reports

Headed up to Platte, SD tomorrow and wondering if anyone had any recent walleye reports?

Amazingly slow. Been fishing that area for a long time and I about to post a thread asking where to go in Minnesota. Lake is full of shad. There was a local tournament out there and quite a few teams posted zeros. The 2 day 14 fish total winning weight was 32 pounds and included a fish just shy of 7… 51 teams and half of them weighed less that 15 pounds. All the guys I know that fish out there are pretty puzzled. Had some years with slow starts, but by now that bite should be pretty strong. Memorial day to Fathers day is typical peak time for that area.

I was born there in 1968. My brother fished a tourney on Sunday. They got second and got their fish on jigging raps in 18-24 fow Whetstone Bay. Good luck.

We fished FC a week ago but north of chamberlain. Caught our fish in 8 for on #5 shad raps.

Yup, hardly anyone at the fish cleaning station and reports were pretty poor from the guys we talked to. We fished 1/2 days on Sunday and Monday due to traveling and big rain storm and got our 12 yesterday and came home this morning with our 24 fish limit. Not a lot of quantity or shorts but the ones we caught were nicer fish. 8 of our 12 yesterday were over 16.5”
