Greetings All:
Just a quick update for all you folks making some plans to head out and do some fishing this weekend on the Mississippi River.
Good action for both walleye and sauger from up near Genoa all the way down to New Boston with good concentrations of fish available. Look for more fish moving into the tailwater areas below the dams with the water cooling down. One thing I want to stress though. There are good concentrations of fish available at many areas down river that never see an anglers bait. No need to get caught up in the "Bumper Boat" traffic up at the dam when you can have some great spots all to yourself down river. Remember, "All The Fish Do Not Move Into The Tailwater Area"!!! With that in mind, remember that great fishing exists elsewhere.
Three way rigs with minnows and also vertical jigging best presentations right now. As the water gets colder, blade baits will start to come into their own when slowly vertical jigged.
Was out this evening for a bit, (Down River) and caught over 10 keepers on jig/minnow rigs in less than 40 minutes. All fish released except a few for dinner.
Just wanted to give this quick update. Hopefully you can get out and enjoy some of the great Fall fishing that's starting on the Mississippi River.
Till Next Time,,, Take Care and I'll See You On The Water............................

FALL FISHING ON THE UPSWING!!!!!
Greetings All:
Well if your looking for something to do this coming weekend, I'd highly recommend heading out to either the Mississippi or Wisconsin Rivers for some fantastic Fall fishing. The water temperatures have finally started there seasonal cool down and the fish are really responding. Keep in mind that when the water temps start dropping, Mother Nature signals the fish that it is once again time to put on the feed bag for the cold season ahead. Right now, this is happening and some great fishing can be enjoyed.
On the Mississippi River, walleye and sauger are starting to show up in the tailwater areas of the dams in decent numbers. Remember, this will only keep getting better till ice up with great catches the exception rather than the rule. Three way rigs tipped with a nice big minnow will work well along with vertical jigging a leadhead jig and minnow combo. Make sure to keep your presentation close to the bottom for best results. If you like panfish, good crappie action is happening in the many backwater areas of the Mississippi. Fish small minnows under a slip float near structure laying in the water for best results. Alsom, don't forget the great Northern action that is also available. Use flashy spoons near creek mouths and other river inflows. Lots of big fish are available. One last thing, Big Stripers are still biting on the Mississippi with many fish in the 4+ pound range being caught. White hair jigs in the 1/4th. and 1/8th. weight range cast in sand flat areas are doing well. Also work the steep rocky shorelines for some good action. This striper bite won't last much longer as the waters cool further so get out and enjoy.
On the Wisconsin River, look for excellent walleye and sauger action also. In the Dell's area, fish the dam for good results as the walleye are starting to show up as they make their migration upstream. Same rigs as the Mississippi River will catch fish on the Wisconsin River. Also, the area withe Wisconsin comes into the Mississippi has been a hot spot this past week and I look for it to continue to produce good fishing well into the late Fall.
Fall is here my friends. Hopefully you can make some time to get out and enjoy the great river fishing it has to offer. So with that said, Get Out and Make Some Memories!!!!!
