River report

[Turk]

11/13/00 St. Croix River surface water temperature is 47 degrees. Walleyes are still hard to locate however they are slightly more grouped so when a fish is caught a few more can be expected to come from the same area. Eyes are being taken on fatheads on vertical jigs and spinners off of steep rock and sand moderate breaklines in 28-38 feet. 16-19” saugers have been biting well and have been caught on spinners and minnow combo on deep water points and flats in 35 feet.

Here a repo JA.... ice coming

11/22/00 The majority of the Croix is frozen over except for the area from the Kinni south, and a few of the northern tie down areas, essentially it’s make ice time on the St. Croix. The Prescott area has been good for saugers in 13-26 feet on jigs and fatheads, good colors have been blue, orange, and chartreuse. Sonars have also worked well on a mixed bag of white bass and walleye in the same depth range.
