Luke and Steve, Jerry a friend of mine has been trolling the cedar along a rocky shoreline halfway regular and getting walleyes up to 8 pounds, quite a few 4 and 5 pounders. It might be a good idea to troll cuts right on the river or maybe jig those too. As of a couple weeks ago they were hitting hard and darned near pulling the rod out of the boat. Id bet the bite is good right now, a guy’s just got to find them.
Their getting good crappies in the back waters around here, I cleaned a 12 3/4 incher the other morning out of 18 caught, most were 10″ to 12″. The backwater bite should be good right now on the Iowa or the reservoir for crappies too, it is around here.
