Greetings All:
Well, the great weather just keeps rolling along as we move to mid November. Lots of open water to fish and some great pheasant hunting available to boot. Nothing beats a morning hunt followed by some excellent Fall river angling on the Mississippi. Right now some nice birds available along fence rows near cut corn and bean fields. Kick that brush good as the birds are holding tight to cover. Walk a bit faster also and force the birds to get nervous and flush.
You can also spend the afternoon jigging for those tasty walleye and sauger that are available on the river. Some fish up in the tailwaters lately but the real hot action is down river on the wingdams and deep holes below them. Bring a good assortment of jigs in different colors and weights along with lively minnows in the 3" size range for best results. Keep your presentation close to the bottom where the majority of fish are currently holding. Vary your retrieve and let the fish tell you what they prefer on that given day. Once you get the motion they are looking for, stick with it. Right now there is an excellent bite going on in the afternoon till just after dark. Hopefuly you can get out and take advantage of it.
With this great weather, it's the perfect Fall opportunity to get out and enjoy yourself.
Till next time,,,be safe and enjoy the outdoors!!!
