Greetings All:
If your wondering what happened to the great walleye and sauger bite that was happening on the Mississippi river, it's simple. The Walleye and sauger are busy making baby fish and are not biting at this time. Now granted, all the fish do not spawn at the same time so you can still catch a few here and there, but the hot bite that we have been experiencing is not very hot any more.
Look for the fishing for these two species to remain on the slow side until after the spawn is completed and the fish go into their post spawn feeding frenzy. This usually takes a few weeks or so depending on the weather and water temps.
Best bet now is to head into those many backwater areas and cash in on the early crappie bite that is just starting. You can also find some hungry bluegill to take home for the frying pan. As a bonus, try casting noisy spinner baits in the backwaters for some of the very nice northern that are available there.
Great weather in the forecast my friends so hopefully you can make some time to get out and enjoy some great fishing on the Mississippi River.
