Greetings All:
With the recent rains that have dumped quite a bit of rain here in the Midwest, the Mississippi river is on the murky side right now. Runoff has helped in staining the waters up really well. You can go into the backwater areas and still catch fish though. Look for the cleanest and clearest water you can find and fish those areas. Biggest problem now is the fish seeing your bait. Catfish good on stink baits, bass good on loud lures like spinnerbaits. Crappie and bluegill have slowed due to water conditions. As of this report, some rain still falling and it is not expected to clear out until late Friday. It will take a few days at least for the river to start clearing once again. With the onset of these cool temperatures, (39 degrees forecast tonight) look for the waters to start cooling fast. Cool weather forecast for the next 14 days at least. Look for the Fall transition to start early as temps in the river drop. One thing for sure, the fish will be putting on the feed bag as cool weather signals the changes.
Enjoy the river, it's a wonderful place to fish.
