Greetings All:
Well, this spell of mild weather has been a bonus to anglers heading out on the Mississippi. Great fishing has been the rule with best results coming to those anglers that are picking their spots wisely.
Some action up at the dams but the real action is still down river on the many wing dams and river bends that are available. Best part is that for the most part you will have these locations all to yourself as other anglers are getting caught up in the crowded tailwater fishing. As far as I'm concerned, that's great with me.
You do not need lot's of tackle. A good selection of jigs in different colors and weights, some plastic tails and of course some nice big, lively minnows in the 3+ inch range. You can vertical jig deep locations or 3-way rig them while trolling into the current slowly and keeping bottom contact.
You can also fan cast likely looking spots and catch fish this way. Which ever method you choose, if you do not get a hit in about 15 minutes of working the spot, move to another spot.
Nice walleye and sauger action going on right now in pools 12-13 & 14.
Get out and enjoy before this nice weather turns to junk.
Good luck and Great Fishing!!!
