Greetings All:
The long anticipated Fall Striper bite is starting to take shape. With cooler nights and shorter days, look for the bite for these big bruisers to take off. Water temps need to start dropping, which they will, to trigger the fish to start feeding heavily.
Currently I have been having good fishing on the Mississippi river working fast tapering shoreline areas and also wingdams. Simply cast a nice fluffy hair jig tipped with a twister tail and you will know if the Stripers are in the area. This action is fast and furious and so much fun. Look for it to be a great Fall as these fish will only get more aggressive as the water continues to cool. Check back often for updates.
Till Next Time,,, Take Care and I'll See You On The Water.

RIVER ANGLING PICKING UP!!!
Greetings All:
Well, as we move along through the month of September, the subtle touches of the coming Fall have been teasing us. Some nice cool nights have been evident and it won't be long before the cooler weather starts hitting the area on a more regular basis. Even with the few cool weather days and nights recently, signs are showing that a good river bite is in the offering for the coming season.
On the Mississippi, Wisconsin and Rock Rivers, fishing has been on the upswing. A great catfish bite continues along with many nice bass being taken by anglers. Panfish are starting to improve with some nice crappie showing up near structure areas on minnows. Bluegill action fair to good along weed edges and also on main river areas with light current and structure close to shore. For you walleye and sauger anglers, some nice fish showing up this last week trolling crawlers near wingdams on a 3-way rig. Some good action early and again late casting rocky shorelines with both jigs and also crank baits. Look for the bite to greatly improve as water temps start to go down.
One last fish I want to mention is the Stripers. Fall Striper action is starting and will continue through the month of October if the weather holds. What a time to get out and do battle with these huge Stripers that have been getting fat all summer long.
Before long, Fall will officially be here and I am predicting a banner season of fishing on our bigger Midwest Rivers. So with that said, hopefully you can make some plans to get out and enjoy the great fishing ahead.

QUICK COMING WEEKEND UPDATE!!!
Greetings All:
With the Labor Day weekend just a few days away, many folks will be heading out to do some fishing. If your heading to the Mississippi or Wisconsin Rivers, look for decent angling to be occurring. Keep in mind that it is forecast to be very hot mid day so if possible, get out early and again in the late afternoon. The fish have been much more active during these two periods.
Lots of good catfish action on dip baits, stripers starting on steep tapering shorelines and sand flat areas. Panfish hit and miss. Main channel structure holding some bluegill on worms and larva baits. Crappie on deep timber on minnows.
Walleye have been slow. Remember, water temps are still in the high 60's to mid 70's. Look for clean water as some areas have lots of floating weeds.
All in all, hope you can get out to wet a line this weekend. Enjoy the holiday and be safe on the water and in your travels.
