Needing some tips and info

[fishingtime13]

Im wanting to go and fish the missisippi river by my place, there is a little inlet with some down trees, a drop off  and a little bridge that goes over the inlet.

Its off of east river road at the end of 79th.  I believe its called riverview heights park.

My questions is, has anyone gone fishing there? I see people there quite often and have chatted with them a little bit, but haven't gotten much out of them.

It looks promising for some largemouth and catfish.

if you have fished there what works good? and are they biting now?

I will be there at about 5 am tomorrow morning.

Have not fished down there but up river a little way in the Ramsey area I have been doing well on smallies

Either trolling raps up river bouncing of the bottom or drifting down pounding the shorelines with meps spinners.

 

Meps are one of my favorite lures for the river that and buzz baits.

 

The Mississippi is fun because you have a chance at catching anything.

Update!

Water is way down! But I was able to get a smallmouth with a topwater plug. 

And a catfish broke my leader off a  worm, was very confused.

Going again tomorrow
