Greetings All:
If you like great catfish action, now is the time to be fishing the Mississippi River.
From Pool-9 down to Pool-14, catfish action is hot. Fish those snags and deadfalls laying in the water if you intend to fish the many sloughs and backwater areas and use your favorite "Stink" bait. If you prefer to fish the main river areas, look for deep holes on the outside river bends that have some structure on the bottom such as old sunken timber. For these main river locations, try using cut baits either fished on the bottom or just off the bottom. If you can catch a few suckers, you can use them as cut bait with excellent results. I have had great success this past week fishing a cut bait deep, just suspended off the bottom near these structure areas. Which ever bait and method you use, get out and enjoy some of the excellent catfishing that is happening right now on the Mississippi River.
Note: Very hot temperatures are forecast for this upcoming weekend so make sure you stay well hydrated. Bring along some water in your ice chest and take a drink often.
Good luck and great fishing.
