MID-WEEK FISHING REPORT

Greetings All:

Well, here we are mid-week and the weather has been really great to be out on the river. There is a fly in the ointment though with rain forecast tonight but mostly on Thursday. Friday and the weekend looking OK as of now. 

Excellent catfishing continues on "Stink-Bait" fished off wingdams near the main river channel area. Also near deadfalls in the water that have at least 4 to 5 feet of water close by.  Some very nice, big stripers starting to show up on the flat areas. Look for fast tapering sand flats and cast right tight to shore and bring your presentation back into deeper water. The stripers are schooling bait fish into these areas when feeding. As far as lures, 1/4th ounce jigs tipped with a 3" twister tail doing well. Plastic shad bodies also working. My personal favorite this last week has been a simple, all white hair jig. The bass are loving this hair jig and hitting it hard. 

Hope everyone gets a chance to make some plans for the great Fall fishing that is ahead. Unless Mother Nature throws us a big curve in the weather department, it should be great fishing ahead.
