Well this is the time of year where many anglers favorite approach of jig and minnow combo fishing really works well. My clients and I have been doing well jigging and it is about as much fun as you can have. I have great success with fatheads plus they don’t cost an arm and leg and are readily available. Fish in 15 to 30 feet, walleyes run shallower than saugers. We’ve been fishing a lot of the river and covering ground going well south of the Kinni and to the Bayport area with points in between. Give BfishN ringies a shot too, I like firecracker and purple with white tails they work on the Croix in late Ocotber and November.

for about 15 minnows was more than just alittle steep! Then he proceeded to tell me how and where to fish……. 
If I ever do another guide trip, I’ll have to make you show me the art of jigging…. 
I’ve been seeing a lot of those fish in the past month or so. Does anyone know what the deal is with that? 
Anyway, I’ll keep at it for a while more as I’m not ready to store the boat just yet. I think I’ll be seeking you out for a guide in the spring Turk. I need all the help I can get!
