Greetings All:
Well, these very strong storms that have been popping from the heat have caused some very heavy rains in the area. Areas in Pool 14 from Clinton, IA South have had heavy rains which will muddy the river up. Further North in Pools 10-11012 & 13, you can expect some fair action. Best bet is the farther North you go, the better the fishing will be due to better conditions. Look for some great catfish action on cut baits, bluegill and crappies starting in backwaters and one of my favorite May fish, the Striper are starting to bite well. I have been getting nice, big stripers fishing fast tapering, sandy shorelines by casting a white hair jig, 1/4th ounce tight to shore and bringing it back to the boat. Some of these brutes have been over the 3lb. range and full of fight.
If your planing on heading out this weekend, bring the rain gear as showers are a possibility each day.
Good luck and enjoy the Mississippi River.
