Guided Bass Fishing

South Dakota Outfitters Unlimited Bass fishing trips can be custom designed to fulfill your desires. If you are looking for a fight, Lake Francis Case above the Fort Randall Dam is known to be one of the best areas for producing trophy Smallmouth Bass fishing in the central United States.

We have a large population of Walleyes and Smallmouth bass in the 1-4 lb range, with the chance of larger fish during the peak of the season.

What to Expect

Fishing in South Dakota is the perfect getaway, and we are not as far away as you might think. It is not uncommon to have a 50+ catch day from early March to June.  Our team provides the very best fishing boats on the market. We take great pride in satisfying customers. We will do everything in our power to make sure you have an enjoyable and memorable vacation.

We fish woods and shallows in the early spring using spinners, crank bait, and plastic grubs.  In June, we start fishing the weed beds and other structures using plastic worms, jigs, and crank bait.

Peak Season for Bass Fishing on Lake Francis Case: Smallmouth Bass: April-June, September-November
Large Mouth Bass: April-October

I couldn't have been more pleased and surprised by how great my entire pheasant hunting experience was with South Dakota Outfitters! Joel & Amanda run a fantastic operation, and they pay attention to all details, to ensure I had a fantastic time. The staff, guides, meals, and accommodations were all top notch. I can't wait to go back, and my wife is looking forward to joining me next time. Mike Follett Brazoria, TX
