Greetings All:
Well, seems like Mother Nature is still making up her mind as to just what season it really is. One day cold, one day warm, the seasons are fighting it out to see who wins. Fortunately, the warmer weather of Spring will prevail but when?
As far as fishing, farm ponds are still a good bet. Lots of quality fish available in these small waters that hold many big fish. I personally have been enjoying great crappie action at one of my favorite farm ponds during this topsy-turvy weather pattern. Using 1/8th ounce jigs I have caught many big slab crappie. As a bonus, the hybrid bluegill have been active on sunny days also. Some bass action but panfish the main catch right now.
If your looking for a place to fish without hauling the boat, try those farm ponds now. You will be glad you did.

Greetings All:
Well, the weekend fishing outlook on the Mississippi River is looking mostly OK. There is a 20% chance of some showers in the area both Saturday and Sunday so don't forget that rain suit.
Fishing in Pools 10-11-12-13 & 14 is on the upswing for all species. The key is picking your spots wisely. With the river water level on the low side, search out that deep water structure just out of the current that the fish are using to hold on. In the backwaters, look for the deepest water available to start your fishing. Good bass and catfish in backwaters along with some nice panfish. Main river fish like walleye and sauger holding in deeper mild current areas like large flats and point areas. Some nice strippers starting to show up down river on sand flats that drop off quickly.
Have yourself a great time on the Mississippi and as always, Save a few for me!!!

HIGH WINDS AND THUNDERSTORMS SLOWING FISHING !!!
Greetings All:
Well, the heavy storms that moved through over the weekend have muddied the river up for a bit and it will effect the fishing for a few days. Combine the rain with the very strong winds and you are really churning the waters up. There is also a pretty good cold front moving through the area that will help to shut the bite off also.
Not to worry though, as the nasty weather is forecast to be short lived and more mild weather is scheduled to return later in the week. There may be a few rain showers during the week but nothing to bad. If your making plans for the upcoming weekend, check ahead for any changes in the forecast. Stop back here at LASTCASTOUTDOORS.COM and find out the latest in river conditions for Pools 11-12-13 & 14.

EASTER WEEKEND FISHING LOOKING GOOD ON THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER
Greetings All:
If your plans include some fishing this weekend on the Mississippi, look for some good action in Pools 10,11,12,13 & 14. Best action down river away from the crowds up in the tailwaters.
Bring along a good selection of jigs in different weights and sizes, some lively minnow and your all set to have a great day. Look for fish on steep tapering banks and also on wingdams. Large flat areas also producing fish.
Lots of smaller male walleye available for the frying pan and larger, egg laden females available for the camera. Release these bigger females so that they can complete their spawning. Get some good photos and handle them gently.
Wishing everyone a Happy Easter and if you do get out fishing,,,,leave a few for me.
