Greetings All:
Well, with another weekend fast approaching the low water conditions on the Mississippi River continue. From Pools 9 thru 15, low water is really starting to effect things. Many of the backwaters are inaccessible at this time with most boats. Those you can get into are shallow and the fish are hard to locate. Between the low water and low oxygen levels, the fish have moved to deeper holes, (if you can find one back there) and are quite lethargic. Best bets are on the main river where you have current flow to mix the water and provide oxygen.
Look for the bluegill bite to be still holding up. Walleye spotty on wingdams on crawlers and floating crank baits trolled. Some smallmouth bass action available near rocks that have current. Crappie also spotty.
Rain is forecast for Saturday but not enough predicted to help with the drought. Hopefully Mother Nature will provide some good rains in the near future to get the river levels up before freeze up.
Good luck, be safe and enjoy the river.
