OPEN WATER ABOUNDS!!!!

Greetings All:
Well, with this warmer than normal weather continuing, the old Mississippi River has opened up nicely. There is a lot of available open water to fish at the present time and the fish are there. With all the open water, anglers are able to travel down river to some of the great areas where fish are currently holding. I was down river this morning checking out a few early Spring Hot spots and found the action excellent. In just two hours, boated and released over 20 nice keeper walleye and sauger. All fish were returned safely to the river to fight again. As far as tackle?, I just uses 3" plastic shad bodies tipped on a jig. With water conditions, a 1/4th ounce jig was just the ticket. Cast your offering to in water structure and use a slow, steady retrieve. Fish did not want a fast return. Slow is the way to go.
You might want to start thinking about getting that boat out of mothballs and getting ready for some "Early" Spring fishing on the old Mississippi. 

Good Luck and Save A Few For Me!!!
