Greetings All:
If you like fishing for bass, now is the time to get out on the beautiful Mississippi River and enjoy some fast action.
With a great year class of bass available, anglers are having a ball catching these great fighting fish. Both largemouth and smallmouth are biting well.
From Pool-6 all the way down to Pool-15, bass are hitting with reckless abandon. Early in the day and again before sunset, there is a great topwater bite available. Stick baits are working well in colors that match the forage base in the pool you are fishing. Some action on crankbaits for smallmouth bass are also doing well. Choose smaller cranks with a nice tight action for best results.
For you folks that like to fish the many backwater areas the river has to offer, try fishing plastic frogs over the weed beds and also very tight to timber laying in the water. Lots of nice bass still available in the backwaters as of this report. Use a slow, twitch and pause retrieve for the frogs and you will catch fish. Once the Sun is up in the morning, go to a spinnerbait for best results fished near weed edges and also tight to timber in the water. Use a nice steady retrieve for best results.
Right now my friends the bass action on the Mississippi River is absolutely wonderful with many big fish available. Hopefully if you like to catch bass you can get out and enjoy this fast action that's going on in a pool near you.
Note: When fishing spinnerbaits in the backwaters, don't be surprised if a big old Northern smacks your lure. They are available in good numbers also in these areas.
Till Next Time,,,Take Care and I'll See You On The Water.........
