Jason MerschdorfBronze AmbassadorSpeciesSmallmouth BassTechniqueBladed JigsSeasonSummerStructureRiver ChannelsFish where holding to rip rap, and Creek mouths with sand good sound bars and shad holding to it, would catch the occasional large mouth but mainly small mouth jerk bait snd chatter bait where baits of choice. Water was low, not much current. Caught decent numbers of fish, not a whole lot of big ones over all good day of fishing.

Look for seams in the current. Depending on the current and how open the dam is, you may need to go from 3/8oz up to 1oz for the jig. Play with the weight until you find enough to keep you in contact with the bottom. Deadstick on a drift with the ringworms can be quite effective on a slow day. You can also try a slow troll upstream with the ringworms (.5mph) Can pair a ringworm on a Dubuque rig with a 3 way and a #6 octopus. Put a fathead on the hook. (Remember this counts as two lines on the river). If the fish are not on the seams use your electronics and look on the flats just below the wingdams. Beware of the wingdams with low water levels.

Walleyes and sauger was sluggish. Got one 14 incher on a hairjig and everything else came off a 3/8 Damiki Halo blade bait. A 7'10" MLXF St. Croix Victory paired with a Daiwa Tatula 3000 with 10lb J8 Braid is a must to the fast current and to feel the bottom. Only one sauger, one walleye, 3 shovel nose and one whitebass.
