St Croix River Opener

Just wanted to see with all this rain and cooler temps what tactics you’ll turn to and what type of bite are you expecting.

Pretty sure ill be trolling some crankbaits for awhile. Pitching jigs with plastics to current seams jumping spots. Should be some pretty good seams popping up on the shorelines, side channels and lower ends of islands. Maybe just soaking some bait on the bottom if nothing else works or i get lazy.

I couldn’t have said it any better myself. Are you going to be up by Osceola? I’m planning on Stillwater area.

After last night, I think my crawler supply is over 40 dozen. I might be using crawlers this weekend.

Just a guess, but likely trolling Hot Tiger JSR5’s @ 1.3 – 2.5 MPH

If it works out I’ve got an empty boat for some of the weekend, I’ll be wanting to get the my first Flathead of the year.

Osceola or william o brian.
