Greetings All:
Well, here we are, the start of the official, un-official Summer season. Weather sure has been on the cool side and rains have put a kink in most river fishing. Mississippi River still on the high side but you can go out and get a few fish if you pick your spots wisely.
Look for some really nice Stripers on flooded flat areas just off the heavy current of main channel. Some current ok but not real heavy. Cast jig/twister rigs or white hair jigs for best results. If you wish, tip the white jig with a 2" black twister tail. This rig has been hot for me as of this morning.
Walleye action slow due to muddy water making seeing lure by fish tough. Backwaters producing some nice crappie near deadfalls in deeper water. Jig/minnow or minnow under a slip float best.
Bluegill starting near fresh growing weeds. Fish outer edges with small lures and small larva type baits under a small float. Catfish available on cut-baits. Shad guts working well as are livers and also gob of nightcrawler.
Weather forecast to have shower chances every day so bring that rain gear. Also, if your not familiar with the backwaters, make sure you know your way out. It is easy to get lost and confused as how to get back out. Use your GPS if you have one.
Have a wonderful weekend and let's not forget what this Memorial Day is truly about. If you see a young service man or woman, take a moment to thank them for their service.
I find it truly ironic how all these two-bit countries around the world keep knocking America, but they all want to come here for our freedoms and way of life.
GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS AND GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!
