Ron (RHW) and I made a trip to the MS backwaters yesterday (forgot the camera, so no pics.) The fish are not real active, but they are there. With a slower presentation – like a mini-mite jig tipped with a waxie, fished under a bobber – we were able to do very well. Got lots of nice gills and quite a few nice perch.
We were over by the Wabasha/Kellogg area, but I am also hearing that many of the backwaters are producing the same results.
Hope you can get out to enjoy some of the great fishing!
Good Fishing,
Mike
