BACK AT LAST!!!

Greetings All:
Finally back after multiple fly-in trips to Canada doing some filming. Lots of fish and bug bites also.


Mississippi river bad shape here in Tri-States area with 13.45 inches of rain in Dubuque area in just 10 hours on Wednesday night. River is very high and very dirty. Good time to get those Honey-Do jobs done and put off fishing till river clears up.
Glad to be back, lets hope for stable weather.

HOLIDAY WEEKEND FISHING OUTLOOK!!!

Well, here we are into the 4th of July Holiday weekend. Seems like Summer is going way toooooo fast. I have coined this the "Bummer Summer of 2011".
For you folks heading out this weekend to fish, look for excellent cat fish action in side sloughs and backwaters. Fish near snags and deadfalls in the deepest water you can find. Use that stink bait and re-bait often to fill the area with scent. 
You bass anglers should do well using spinnerbaits rolled slow just under the surface in backwaters. Use loud blades for best results. 


Panfish are scattered and water visibilty hampering catching them.  Some nice big stripers on flooded sand flat areas on jig/twister rigs.


Have a great holiday weekend and be safe out there.            

GOD BLESS AMERICAN!!!!!!!!     GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS!!!!!!!
