Spent about two hours down at the river today, and dragging was the deal. Caught four fish total, all dragging either a carolina rig or ned rig. Low and slow was the key today, all bites on the carolina rig came either during a pause in between drags or on the fall. Good luck!

Rip Rap
Took a day trip to the river in mid-august to try and find some smallmouth. With the water being low bank access was much easier. The drop shot and shakey head were the ticket. With the water down and slow current fish seemed to be scattered. We caught them up and down the bank and fish seemed to be holding in the main river tight to the bottom. Dragging a shakey head or shaking a drop-shot caught small numbers, with the occasional 2-2.5 lber. Moral of the story is, don't overlook Minneapolis' urban fisheries!
