Channel Catfish
If you're aiming for channel catfish near Geddes, South Dakota, Lake Francis Case is your go-to destination. This sprawling Missouri River reservoir is teeming with catfish, offering anglers a fantastic chance to hook into some hefty specimens. Summer is prime time for catfishing, especially during the evening and nighttime hours when the fish are most active. Focus your efforts on areas with structure, such as submerged timber, creek channels, and rocky points. A classic catfish rig baited with cut bait, stink bait, or nightcrawlers is a surefire way to attract bites. Lake Francis Case is known for producing large channel catfish, with some fish exceeding 10 pounds. A helpful tip: Use a heavy sinker to keep your bait on the bottom, especially when fishing in areas with strong currents. Also, be prepared for a fight – these catfish are strong and will put up a good battle. Local anglers often have success fishing near the mouths of the feeder creeks that flow into the lake.
