Greetings All:
Ah yes, you can tell Fall has truly arrived once again. All you have to do is look up by the dam in Pool-13 and you know it is here. Every year in the fall what I describe as "Bumper Boat Fishing" takes place up by the dams on the Mississippi River.
For you folks that do not know what bumper boat fishing is, let me explain. It's when you have many boats up by the dam in search of walleye and sauger. These boats can be so close together at times that you could literally walk from boat to boat. When someone in another boat see's you hook a fish, watch out because in a matter of seconds that boat will be encroaching on your your area. It can get really crazy at times out there and many nasty words have been exchanged between anglers over the years.
Personally, I avoid all that mess and make it a point to head down river to many of the great spots that are holding big fish and lot's of them. Best part is that in most cases you will have the area all to yourself to fish. While many anglers get caught up in that thought that all the fish in the Fall are up at the dam, you can enjoy some great fishing minus the crazy crowd of boats.
This past week I have been find good concentrations of both walleye and sauger down river in Pool-13 and they have been biting well.
So don't get caught up in that "Bumper Boat" mentality up at the dam. Head down stream and find your own sweet spot without all the commotion of boats banging into each other. Fishing is great so get out and enjoy the Fall season.
