MID-WEEK FISHING REPORT FOR MISSISSIPPI RIVER

Greetings All:

Well, the great weather is continuing and the fishing is also getting better. In pools 9 thru 11, look for panfish active in the backwaters and side sloughs. Walleye and sauger still slow but some holding on downsides of long wingdams on the inner half. Jig and twister rigs tipped with a big minnow best bet now. Use a jig just heavy enough to cast easily.
For those panfish, small minnows for the crappie in deep water close to in-water structure. If bluegills are your choice, use small larvae type bait with a small ice jig suspended under a small float. Try and find weeds that are still green. Don't waste time in brown weed areas.

Big white bass in pools 12 & 13 on flooded sand flats still very active. Jig and twister tail will take a lot of big fish right now. Fan cast the area completely to locate fish.

Weekend weather forecast to be wet, cool and windy if you plan on heading out on the river. Dress warm, bring that rain suit and enjoy yourself.

Till Next Time,,,,Take Care & I'll See You On The Water......................
