Greetings All:
Well, with the rise in water levels from pools 9 through 14 from the recent rains up North, the backwater areas are getting a much needed shot of fresh, oxygenated water and the fish are loving it. This fresh water has turned the catfish and also the panfish on and the bite is excellent.
Excellent crappie action in pools 10-11 & 13 with many slabs coming in. for you catfish anglers, the good fishing has become excellent fishing. Bass fishing is also excellent in the side slough and backwater areas on plastics. It's amazing how this influx of fresh water has transformed the stagnant backwater areas into great fisheries. It's like getting a much needed shot in the arm for the fish.
As long as the water stays up, look for continued good fishing off the main river in these beautiful backwater areas. I was out last evening and hit the hat-trick, crappie, bass and nice catfish all were caught.
If your heading out on the Mississippi River fishing, plan on trying the backwaters in the pools I mentioned. You won't be disappointed.
