Took the new river boat out on Saturday. Launched on the Mississippi and.headed straight up the crow. The new boat(14ft Mod v, 15 horse) did 16mph up stream and 22 down. The crow was 49 degrees most of the way. I went all the way to 101 bridge. I fished only a couple hours with zero success, tried the main river channel and a few shallow slack spots. Crawlers on bottom. I also braved it up the Mississippi log jam a little ways, water was 41 degrees. Going to wait a couple weeks and try again.

Congradulations on the new boat.Sounds like you had a blast breaking it in. smile

Caught a handfull of small (12 - 16 inches) channel cats after dark this weekend. I was excited to see so many snmaller fish, looks good for years to come!

I don't think there is a shortage of cats in the Sippi, the number of 18-24" cats I caught up there is ridiculous, what would be nice is more cats over 30" coming out of the river up there.

In between paint jobs, I stopped at the river for a little while.Didn't get my target carp but surprisenly some out of season fish were hungry for crawlers.Kinda hard to tell but these two were a couple of inches difference in size.A nice couple I met that were fishin by me took the pictures.

What is everyone's favorite tactics for early season walleyes on the mississippi? Bait, location, depth, etc.

Posted

Depending on the flow/depth.....1/32 nd - 1/4 oz jig head with a 1 1/2 - 3 inch white twister tail in an area like a confluence, dam, or where the flow meets backwater. Find a seem and work across it. There are a few spots from shore you can work parallel to the seem, but not many; if in a boat, your golden. Also if in a boat and you can't work parallel, you are still probably better off working these areas out instead of in. Search the lower depths, usually as close to the bottom as you can get without snagging, a few feet on the fast or slow sides until you find fish. The lower the light the shallower. It really is that easy......well..... if the fish are there and biting smile

Mississippi River report.

Red horse suckers are surfacing above the water lately.I caught many the last few days but not in the zones where they are coming up, more on the boundary of those places.Many bass been dwelling in shallow slack water the last few days in sartell, st cloud and Sauk rapids.I been chasing rough fish but it seems the other species are not far from those spots.Patiently looking forward to the catfish and the rest of the species coming in.

Caught a 14 lb catfish yesterday morning on cut sucker in the Elk River area. It is my personal best. Numbers of cats are still way down from a few years ago, but size continues to improve with many fish running in the 8 lb+ range.

Posted

I like that one TunaCan.Got a big ole belly on that cat fish. smile

YESTERDAY

Got this little one near a drain on the rio Mississippi.Finally baught some chicken liver.Getting the liver to stay on the hook while casting is the fun part

popped down for 30 minutes to a spot and one smally said hello. sheesh that water is movin!!

Posted

Yeah its been slow below the mill

(BUT) above has plenty of brown bass around.This week,bobber and jig has been the success up there

(AND) Below the dam it seems when you button up >>close to shore<< in pockets in between rock groups the bass will take anything from waxies to a hunk of plastic worm.

Giving ya the heads up on YOUR bass wink

Hey, where you been man? cool

nice to hear you are being nice to my bass. smile

Action was not fast this morning, but caught some good fish. Typical river nightcrawler fishing starting out with a 5 lb catfish, then a few smallies, lost a nice walleye, and caught a couple suckers. Had two smallies pushing the 18" range...nice fish for this time of year.

      My 30 year-old Indy 500 (over 8,000 miles) has been having a mid-range bog for many years now.  It is worse on warm days and when the engine is warmer.  The sled runs fine up to about 1/4 throttle, then runs extremely rich up to 3/4 throttle.  The spark plugs are dark brown (better brown than down?) but not saturated.  8 years ago I moved the clips on the jet needles from the 3rd to the 2nd groove to lean the mixture and it helped for a while.   Should I move the clips to the top groove (temporary solution)? Could the jet needles, needle jets, and/or the main jets be warn and need replacement?   Don't think I will have time to tear the carbs apart this season for a rebuild so I may just band-aid the problem.

      I think that Mike89 picked April 26 two hours before you, jparrucci.  Is that correct Mike89?

      My last hide I gave to my Taxidermist friend to make what ever he liked out of it.   I've got a few fun Bear hunt stories to be told.  All 3 of us our first year stupidly tracking a blood trail in the dark together and getting lost, luckily smelled the bait making circles and got out. 🫣 Flash lights dying, deep in a swamp following a blood trail in the dark, the one who stayed at the bait called us back in!  We learned our second bear! Lol. 😞  Downing a wounded charging bear with the last bullet when tracking, no lie! 😬    Have had my fun!  🥳

      I remember that kegel… stuff….!   just finished my post work latte as a matter of fact!  Only the second case of those I’ve ever bought.     I’d get Mike something better.
    • jparrucci
      I still have hope. Put me down for my dad's birthday in April 26. Come on warm weather.

      🤔 mythical FM beer?????is that kinda like kegel brau!!!!!!!!🤣 or busch lattes!!!!!😄

      application has been submitted. 👍   Leech......i've shot my share of bear......it be nice to get another but not the end of the world if i dont. i get to spend time with my son...its just another way to get into the woods. i've been at it since about 1976......that rush when you walk up to the bait and see the logs scattered all over and bait gone just doesnt get old for me.   i had to get rid of 1 rug because of bad tanning. i have another rug, shoulder mount and made 3 pillows from 2 different bear hides. my biggest issue has become what to do with the hide....that seems more of a trophy then the meat. i inquired 1 year at the Alex decoy show when there were a couple hide guys there and they didnt seem to interested. 🙄 i have no other ideas for the hide.......approval from the wife is not even negotiable!!!!!
    • Mike89
      aw that date is fine and maybe someday we will have beer!!!
    • Wanderer
      Something in May, like around Opener.  Could be white knuckles for boaters that weekend with the way things stalled out since the contest started and how thick it still is.   Highs in the 50’s coming but lows are around freezing and not a lot of wind in the extended forecast.   I’ll tell  ya what, if you change from 4/26 and it hits that date, I’ll buy ya some mythical FM beer.  And you know where you can find it. 😉. But don’t change on my account - this is still a free country!

      I caught the 10pm news the other night. They said that starting next week Minnesota will be above average for temps. I give them a 33% chance of getting that right.
