Omnia Community MemberBronze AmbassadorSpeciesWalleyeTechniqueVertical Jigging Mid Depth (10-19')SeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureHumpsFished pool 9 from the dam down to Blackhawk park from 4/20 - 4/24. Very difficult with so much water and fast current. Had some success with the walleyes when we found some protected water with slower current. Fished the current seam with pink jig and flat worm worked really slowly. Ended with 6 keeper walleyes and 2 saugers. Watched the river rise 2 feet over those 4 days. Still rising with a predicted peak this weekend. Lots of debris and large trees coming through. Have to be very observant if you go out. Only open launch is by the power plant. BE SAFE!!

I had a great day up in Pool 9 on the Mississippi River near Lansing, IA. My big motor was giving me problems, so I idled around in the back waters near the boat ramp. I found some lilly pads and duck weed and was able to catch them all day with the frog, both smallmouth and largemouth. Biggest of the day was a 4.12 largemouth and a 3.55 smallmouth. Caught over 15 throughout the day.

The low water has smallies pushed up tight to the rock spines and plunge pools along the main river channel. Work a wacky-rigged senko, finesse jig, or shakey head tight to the bank and slowly work out over the first drop to get the bites. They will be schooled up when you find them.
