While Geddes, South Dakota, might not be the first place that comes to mind for striped bass, Lake Francis Case, a short drive away, offers a unique opportunity to target these hard-fighting fish. Lake Francis Case is a Missouri River reservoir and is stocked with striped bass. These fish thrive in the large, open water, feeding on shad and other baitfish. The best time to target striped bass is typically during the spring and fall months, when they are more active in shallower water. Trolling with crankbaits or casting swimbaits near points and drop-offs can be effective. Live bait fishing, particularly with shad, is also a popular technique. The striped bass in Lake Francis Case can reach impressive sizes, with some fish exceeding 20 pounds. A practical tip for fishing Lake Francis Case is to invest in a good quality fish finder to locate schools of baitfish and striped bass. Also, be aware of the strong currents that can occur in the lake, especially near the dam. Remember to check local regulations regarding size and bag limits for striped bass before heading out.
