Species
WalleyeTechniqueHard JerkbaitsSeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureRip RapAbsolutely awesome outting this night. Rolling jerkbaits across rocks and rip rap. Pulled up this beast of a walleye to cap off the night. Will be back for more. Highly recommend getting out there.
GrizzBronze AmbassadorSpeciesWalleyeTechniqueSoft Body Swimbaits (Large)SeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureRock PileSlow rolling this big swimbait just over the top of the rocks always does well in the cooler spring and fall months. 1/8 and 1/4 swim jig heads are best. Up to 3/8 if you need to get down to 12'fow or more.

Slow retrieve over the rocks for this chunky river momma. Biggest of the night 24”. Total of 8 walleyes. Water temp was about 46 degrees.

The walleye congregate in deeper pools along the main river channel and then move up onto the flats to feed in the morning and evening hours. You can catch them snap jigging a jigging rap along the channel edges and by pitching and snap jigging on top of the flats in less than 10 FOW during the morning and evening hours. Make sure to not go too heavy with the weight as this will cause you to snag on the bottom. Use the current to determine what weight and size jigging rap to be using. You want to be able to have no more than a 45 degree line angle and be able to snap and let the bait fall to the bottom. The fish will usually pin it to the bottom so "set the hook" on every snap and be ready for your rod to just stop on a mississippi super tanker!

Finally got out to open water. Caught a bunch of walleyes with the biggest going 20”. Spent most of the day slamming bottom with a rippin rap.

Fish just below the lock on Pool 2. Slow moving to dead stick jig on the bottom. Using bright jigs and white plastics or live minnows worked great.

Largemouth BassTechniqueStructure JigsSeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureLaydownsI had an awesome time fishing the river for the first time down there and even caught some really high-quality fish. Wood in warm bays was the main player but took a bit to locate were the fish would be. Jig was the key and caught all my fish on a jig.
