Greetings All:
Well, as I write this those very strong North winds are howling outside. Gusts of 40 MPH+ are common and expected to last through Saturday. Biggest problem with the winds is that they are causing the River to "Muddy Up" due to heavy wave action. Water chocolate color now and will take some calming down before good bite returns. Very tough for fish to locate your offering. Earlier today had 3 inch visibility using a bright orange jig, not very good at all. Some panfish, mainly crappie available in back waters and sloughs but tough going there also. Those huge stripers I love to catch in October are there but they cannot find your bait very easy. If you insist on fishing for them, use a small, noisy and flashy crankbait with lots of vibration. This will help some.
On a side note, heavy winds bringing down lots of the great Fall colors. They won't last long at this rate.
Hope you get some time to enjoy the great fishing that is still left before ice-out. Be safe out there and save a few for me. If you need more Mississippi River info, feel free to contact me at: lastcast13@yahoo.com.
Good Luck and till next time,,,Take Care And I'll See You On The Water!!!!!
