    Back in the day, when I lived in Pierre, the August full moon bite was phenominal. This was prior to the drought years and the smelt population decline.

    Sadly back in those days, we put the knife to all the fish we caught also. I can remember nights coming if from the flats with live wells full of 23″ fish. Thankfully I’ve learned what selective harvest is now.

    Thanks for sharing Kooty! I miss the Old Missouri River. We used to pull some hoggs out of Bismark, ND from her.

    Koot,

    Thanks for sharing those pictures. I’m guessing those fat fish were coming off of Sully or Peoria. I did that few times when I was still in SD during the full moon. It always amazed me how many boats would be on the water at night. It got downright crowded and dangerous a few times.

    I love the photo of the boat in the street. Those Iowegians must have been pretty excited to get in the water. Missed the river by just a few blocks!

    This is the other CR, Curt Rees. I put a brand new ’97 Chevy pickup into Lake Oahe at Cow Creek the day I put plates on it in May of ’97. Don’t forget to set the emergency brake with a stick! lol (Expsensive)

    Looks to me like the boat missed the “Stop Here” sign by a few feet.
