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

What our Guests are Saying
Been coming here for 15+ years. Continual improvement - Joel is an AWSOME guide with terrific resources, Pheasants, prarie chickens and walleyes are all world class. My favorite part of the year is visiting Joel an Amanda
Everyone at the South Dakota Outfitters was friendly, helpful and professional. My hunting buddies and I had a wonderful time. We saw hundreds of wild pheasants, ducks and geese all three days we hunted. Amanda and Joel were always smiling and making sure our stay was comfortable. Special thanks to the entire staff especially the Guides and dogs for making each hunt a successful experience. Amanda and Joel along with their entire staff run a first class operation! I highly recommend South Dakota Outfitters.
