What part of the river where you on on friday?
It was a little slow in Osceola for me on friday. After spending most of the morning searching the usual spots I headed down river to do some exploring. Ended up with 5 saugers in 2 short trolling passes down towards the trail bridge then had to call it quits. 5 hours fishing and all fish caught in about a half hour. Go figure.
Water temps where still in the 53 degree range up there. With warmer water the bite should improve in the next week or so. Saugers should disapeer and more eyes should show up.
There still has not been a good white bass bite up this way yet either. I know I boated one a little over 18 a couple of years ago.
