Frequently Asked Questions About Fishing in Pierre, SD
What’s included in a Gunnin’ Dakota Guide Service trip on Lake Oahe and Lake Sharpe?
When you book with Gunnin’ Dakota Guide Service, we provide a fully turnkey experience so you can focus on the fishing. Your trip includes a full day on the water with Captain William Schied, all professional-grade rods and reels, high-quality lures, and fresh bait tailored to the current bite. We also provide all necessary USCG-approved safety equipment and modern sonar technology to keep us on the fish. From navigating the rugged bluffs of Lake Oahe to the productive flats of Lake Sharpe, we handle the logistics so you can enjoy the Missouri River.
How much does a full-day fishing charter cost in Pierre, SD?
Our full-day fishing charters in Pierre, SD, are competitively priced to offer the best value for families and serious anglers alike. While rates can vary based on the season and specific group size (typically ranging from $500 to $650 for a standard group of 2-3 anglers), we pride ourselves on transparent pricing with no hidden fuel surcharges. For the most accurate quote for your specific dates, we encourage you to contact us directly or visit our Rates page.
Do I need to bring my own fishing gear for the trip?
No, you do not need to bring your own gear! Gunnin’ Dakota Guide Service provides top-of-the-line rods, reels, and tackle specifically chosen for Pierre SD walleye fishing. However, if you have a favorite "lucky" rod that you’re comfortable with, you are more than welcome to bring it along. We want you to be as comfortable as possible while we're out on the water.
Is cleaning and filleting included in my Gunnin’ Dakota fishing trip?
Absolutely. We believe the service doesn't end when we hit the dock. Gunnin’ Dakota Guide Service includes professional fish cleaning and packaging at the end of your trip at no extra charge. We will expertly fillet your catch and bag it up so it’s ready for the frying pan or the freezer as soon as you get home. It’s just one more way we ensure your Lake Oahe fishing trip is a premium experience from start to finish.
What is the best time of year to fish in Pierre, SD?
While we offer fishing year-round, the "best" time depends on what you want to catch. For peak numbers of walleye, mid-May through June is exceptional on both Lake Oahe and Lake Sharpe. If you are chasing a trophy-sized "wall hanger," the late fall months of October and November offer some of the most consistent big-fish action of the year. For those who enjoy the "hard water," our ice fishing season typically runs from late December through February.
Do I need a South Dakota fishing license, and where can I get one?
Yes, every angler age 16 and older must possess a valid South Dakota fishing license. You can easily purchase these online through the South Dakota Game, Fish & Parks website or at several local bait shops in Pierre and Fort Pierre. We recommend securing your license at least a day before your trip to ensure we can hit the water as soon as you arrive at the boat ramp.
What should I bring on my Pierre SD fishing charter?
While we cover the fishing equipment, you should bring items for your personal comfort. We recommend polarized sunglasses, sunscreen, a brimmed hat, and weather-appropriate clothing (layers are key in South Dakota!). You should also bring a cooler with your preferred snacks and drinks for the day. If you plan on taking your fillets home, please bring a separate cooler with ice to keep your catch fresh for the drive back.
Is Gunnin’ Dakota Guide Service family-friendly for young children?
Yes! We specialize in family-friendly fishing trips in Pierre, SD. Captain William is known for his patience and loves teaching kids how to bait a hook and reel in their first Missouri River walleye. We tailor the pace of the trip to keep young anglers engaged and having fun, ensuring a safe and memorable adventure for the whole family.
What happens if the weather is bad on the day of my trip?
Safety is our absolute priority. If the wind or weather conditions on Lake Oahe or Lake Sharpe make it unsafe to be on the water, we will work with you to reschedule your trip for the next available date. If rescheduling isn't possible due to your travel plans, we offer a fair cancellation policy. We always keep a close eye on the Pierre area forecast and will communicate with you leading up to your trip.
How do I book a guided fishing trip with Captain William Schied?
Booking your Pierre SD fishing adventure is easy! You can call or text us directly at our business number to check availability. Because our peak dates in May, June, and October fill up fast, we recommend booking your trip at least 4–6 weeks in advance to ensure you get your preferred dates on the water.
