Did you get out?
Saturday, a picture-perfect, mid-June day for fun in and around the lake. I'll admit I was pretty happy to spend it lounging on the "not-yet-finished-deck" over at our place before going in to work for the night shift.
On Poinsett, sailboats and fishing boats dotted the eight acres of water. I heard the top total for five fish caught was over 18# and the largest was over 7#.
Speaking of water, the controversy over water levels in Poinsett was on the cover of the Watertown Public Opinion's weekend edition. My question is: why (and who authorized) are the gates now open letting water flow OUT of the lake into the Sioux River?

Catchin' up on the Fish Tales of Poinsett
April 6, 2009 Michael Weber of Brookings landed a record, 23-inch, 5#-12oz. white sucker in Lake Poinsett.
May 8th, Bryan Dykstra used a bow and arrow to take a state record, 38-inch, 42#-4oz. common carp in Lake Poinsett. Both of these were taken legally but by unconventional methods, therefore are listed in the unrestricted record category.
May 31, 2009, Adam Arendsee caught a record 4#-5oz. black bullhead in Lake Poinsett. Speaking of bullheads, check out a great article, "Yella Belly" by storyteller, Tom Hayes in the June 2009 issue of The Outdoorsmen Magazine. Pick up a copy at LAKEVIEW Resort or email them at outdoorsmen@iw.net for more information about their locally produced (Flandreau, SD), most excellent, monthly magazine full of valuable articles.
Congratulations to all of these record anglers. If anyone has pictures of these record fish, please forward them to our email address, phone #, or bring in a copy to LAKEVIEW and we'll post them for all to see.
And still standing is the record 6#-9oz. smallmouth bass caught April 27, 2008 by Darin Laue.
For a complete list of state records, visit www.sdgfp.info/Wildlife/fishing/Info/StateRecords.htm
