Greetings All:
Well, once again it is that time of the year when the weather is changing on almost a daily basis. Look for cold fronts to be moving through the Midwest with more regularity as we get deeper into the Fall season. Along with those fronts we have also been experiencing what we did not have in the Summer, RAIN!! With water levels low in most all area water in the Midwest all the rain we can get before the ground freezes up is surely welcome. Currently the Mississippi River is still very low for this time of the year. Hopefully the good folk's up North will send us some water from their rains.
As far as fishing right now, I have been getting some nice walleye and sauger on long wingdams that reach out deep to the main channel. Vertical jigging 1/2 ounce to 3/4th ounce jigs tipped with big minnows getting the fish. This is deep water fishing so boat control is a must to keep your jig where it belongs, close to bottom. Keep your bow pointed upstream and use a "kicker" motor to hold position. With some practice you will get the hang of it. If you wish, you can backtroll slowly upstream but this can get sloppy wet if the wind is blowing.
Remember, adjust your presentation to current weather conditions where you are fishing. You will have much better success if you do.
It's that constantly changing time of the year so learn to adapt and enjoy what vMother Nature has to offer.
