Greetings All:
Well, here we are on the door step of another Fourth of July holiday. Many folks are hitting the road for their favorite recreation areas along the Mississippi River. For you folks planning on doing some fishing this holiday, you can get a few fish even though the river is high and dirty.
Look for some excellent catfish action in the many backwaters and slough areas on dip baits. G&S Cheese bait has been doing well for me with many nice cats coming in. Get deep into the flooded areas and fish near flooded structure laying in the water. If you do not get a bite in 15 minutes or so, move to another snag location and try again.
For you bass anglers, both small mouth and largemouth bass are hitting topwater baits early and late in the day. Work the weed areas with a varied retrieve for best results. Another method working well is both plastic worms and lizards fished weedless in heavy cover areas.
One last thing, bring along bug spray as the Buffalo Gnats are terrible. Also the ticks and skeeters.
Happy Fourth of July to all. Enjoy the holiday weekend and stay safe.
