I caught 4 smallmouth bass on the Saint Croix River today. The smallies were around 10 feet deep off of underwater points.

Use your electronics to locate the bass. I found them where the channel pushes up to shore in 15-35' of water.

Be aware that the river gets very shallow above Stillwater. There are places where there is 2' or less of water in the main channel. Most backwater areas were not accessable by boat

SturgeonTechniqueLive Bait RigsSeasonSummerStructureRiver ChannelsFirst time out Sturgeon fishing this year. I usually net shad which is the preferred bait for Sturgeon fishing on the St. Croix, but populations seem down quite a bit this year. Very few pods observed on the electronics. Been that way all summer. We'll see if they all of a sudden show up in fall. Instead we just used crawlers and actually got into a few fish and one nice 52 incher. Usually I start shallow in 12-20 ft of water early in the season and fish deeper as we get deeper into fall. BTW, the hot bait is bogus because I couldn't select anything that I actually used and its a mandatory field.
