WalleyeTechniqueVertical Jigging Shallow (0-9')SeasonSummerStructureRip RapMississippi pool 2 fishing report 6/10/21. Crushing big walleyes on the riprap shoreline. Water Temp 83 degrees and outdoor temps of 87 degrees. Using a 1/4 oz. Northland jig and minnow in 7 FOW. The water is low and the river is slow with some awesome fish being caught. To catch some of the action go to https://youtu.be/Ta99V6bXhDU. 12 mph south wind and the bite is on. Plastics are still working on the wing dam tips. Fishing on the Mississippi Pool 2 is all catch and release. Keep those lines tight and have fun.
Brian JœBronze AmbassadorSpeciesSmallmouth BassTechniqueSoft Body Swimbaits (Small/Medium)SeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureDamWhen the water is hovering around 50, smallmouth can be found in the eddys as they move upstream to spawn. The 3” spark shad can really produce at this time. Adjust weight of jig based on current.

Largemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Pitch/Flip)SeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureRip RapBoth largemouth & smallmouth bass were spawning on rip rap banks with low or no current in pockets near main channel. Beds were not visible due to water clarity, but fishing slow in likely areas produced fish. 1/8oz unpegged texas rigs and super short leader drop shots were the most productive.

Burning the bait was the key this morning in dark to light clouds with some peeking sun also. As soon as the bait hit the water ripping it through with a 7.1 almost as fast as I could with the random jerk pause was the fastest way to get the fish in the boat. Nice 1.75 with dark green body today.

The river is around flood levels and moving fast. Fish were found in backwaters that were less stained and tight to cover (boulders and laydowns). Squarebills early and Texas rig tubes in the afternoon seemed to work best.
