Fishing out of a Hobie kayak, so stayed around the Bay Point area as lots of big boats up by dam, and water current is much faster for my kayak. Drop shot a fathead and using deep diver cranks in shad colors produced fish. Fished anywhere from 1 fow to 20 fow, majority of fish came in less than 10 fow. Find the humps and fish the dips, behind the humps holds lots of fish and shad. Mostly whitebass and will have to weed through them to get walleyes. Heard the walleye bite is better by the dam. Caught a couple 4-5 pound bowfins as well! Put up a good fight! Best method was drop shot and fathead, with cranking shad raps and flicker shads was second. Caught a few hefty largemouth bass for their size with cranks! Biggest was only 2.7 pounds, but was chunky looking!

Oct 31 2020. Temp 43-44; Stage 3.5 ft; Flow 18,200 Fall fishing for walleye, sauger, crappies and more remains in full swing on Pool 4 of the Mississippi River. Staying mobile and flexible, as always when fishing the river, remains the key. Our best bite for a mixed bag of 15-22" sauger and walleye was to pull Dubuque Rigs upstream along well-defined current seams. A Dubuque Rig is a modified 3-way rig that presents two jigs tipped with ringworms: a heavy "bottom" jig, typically 1/2 oz, and a 1/16 oz "top" jig. Each is connected to a 3-way swivel with a Seaguar InvizX leader: ~ 20" long to the bottom jig and ~ 10" long to the top jig. Lower the rig to the bottom and slowly pull upstream, 0.1-0.3 mph, zig-zagging across the seam and hitting both the faster and slower water. Key depths for us today were 18-24' for daytime walleye and sauger. If you want to try something different - try your hand at some slab crappies. Look to rocky flats that have gentle current across them and sharp breaks into the main channel. Excellent numbers of 10-13" crappies and some bonus bull gills are available. Pitch 1/16 oz jigs tipped with minnows or 2" minnow-profile soft plastics across the flats and enjoy!
