Greetings All:
Well, it looks like Mother Nature is going to give us a great weather weekend to be out on the Mississippi & Wisconsin Rivers for some great Fall fishing. Both of these rivers are producing a good bite right now for the angler willing to wet a line.
Walleye and sauger are the prime targets of Fall anglers but there are other species available. In the backwaters, look for a decent crappie bite going on right now near structure as the crappie have moved into their Wintering locations. Small minnows and also larvae type baits taking fish.
On the main river, look for Walleye and sauger taking jig/minnow rigs in the tailwater areas tight to bottom. Use nice lively minnows in the 3" size range and fish them close to the bottom for best results. You can expect heavy boat traffic this weekend up by the dams with the good weather so I recommend heading down river to fish river bend areas, sand flat areas and any obvious current break areas with depth close by. There are many fish down in these areas that never see an anglers bait.
Was out this morning on the Mississippi for a few hours and found many fish on the bite in these types of areas I mentioned. Caught a nice limit of sauger for dinner tonight and headed home. Many other fish released to fight again.
So if you plan on getting out this weekend, it looks great in the weather department and also the fishing department. Be safe and enjoy yourself.
