Channel Catfish
Strandburg, South Dakota, and the surrounding area boast several smaller lakes and connecting waterways that hold good populations of Channel Catfish. Unlike pursuing blues in larger river systems, here you'll find success in smaller lakes and connecting streams. Focus on areas with current or structure, such as submerged timber or rock piles. Lake Sinai and Lake Poinsett are both reasonable drives from Strandburg and offer public access. The best time to target channel cats is during the warmer months, especially at night. Use stink bait, nightcrawlers, or cut bait fished on the bottom. A simple slip-sinker rig is often all you need. Local anglers often have luck near the inlets or outlets of these lakes. The channel catfish in this region are generally plentiful, offering a good opportunity for a relaxing and productive fishing trip.
