Found fish on breaks and current seams both by the dam and down river. Blade baits were the most productive, with a few bites coming on a jig and plastic. All females caught were still firm and it seems as if we have yet to reach the peak spawn.

River rig two swim baits. Not as many bites as the guys fishing live bait, but much better quality fish, keeping in contact with the bottom.

It was slow but a lot of pressure. The edge of the current seemed to work best.
Davis's Guide ServiceBronze AmbassadorSpeciesWalleyeTechniqueVertical Jigging Deep (20'+)SeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureRiver ChannelsTo start the day off we focused on the stretch of the river where it opens up into Lake Pepin, This turned out to be the wrong decision. We found one area with some life in it, but other than that we saw nothing on sonar. We worked our way upriver and started running into fish around Redwing. Mainly seemed to be sauger with a few smaller walleyes mixed in. The fish seemed to be hanging out in a wide range of depths from 30-15ft on the more gradual drop-offs. We were using Jigs and Plastics as well as Blade Baits slowly drifting downstream with the current trying to keep our speed around .3-.5 mph. Although we didn't catch any big fish we heard from several others that some walleyes around the 8lb range were caught up close to the dam earlier in the morning. I suspect with some warm weather since I was out that the bite has gotten better. Good luck fishing! https://www.davissguideservice.com/
