Weekend Redwing bite?

Just wondering how things went this weekend. Looks like a Wednesday trip for me this week. Thanks…..

I was out with a customer on Sunday and had a fantastic day. We started the day casting rip rap with hair and plastics. Pearl blue s/p K-grubs and black hair did the trick. It was a slow morning pitching for us, we only had 6 fish, 23″ being the biggest and a couple of eaters. The rest of the eye’s were in the 21″ class. Our casting bite died after those 6 fish so we headed for the dam area at about 1:00 and really spanked the nice sauger and 16″ to 18″ eye’s on blade baits. Got a few on hair as well, never really gave plastics much of a chance since the blad baits were going so good for us. Ended the trip with just short of 30 legal fish . 12′ to 15′ was my best depth, the smaller fish were found deeper for me.

The big un’s eluded me on this day but I will stay in the hunt !

well it started out good, we got to pool 4 frist cast had a sm.bass jumpin 2’in the air and spit the jig. we started at the dam area ,when we tryed to go to a differnt spot the starter craped out on us. sowe jig trolled ringys back to everts.steve was a grate helpcalling around to try and find a starter for me .i called rec.repair and found one so got the starter on the way home, put it in took about 1/2 hr. ,had a cup of coffee,took a deep breath, and headed to pool 3 .got to fish about three hrs. and did get 4 eyes . sun .we got out for 3.5 hrs. of fishin on pool3 be for john and les had to head back to iowa, john got the biggest wally ever a good 23″er and les and my self each had a big fish get off be for we could see them

things will only be getting better and better. .. need to start making plans on getting down there often. did the snow today slow anyone down. .. we had one club boat was supposed to head to the st croix today, do not know if they made it or not. Jack.

We made a trip to the river this past weekend looking for some Walleyes. We fished Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning. Spent the first 3 hrs. Sat. vertical jigging the break line on the main channel. Nothing there. Decided to go pitch some jigs along rip rap. We followed your advice and found rip rap with deep water close by. Within 15 minutes we started catching Walleyes and Crappies. We caught fish all the way untill dark. It was a blast. Sunday morning we fished the same area but only caught a couple. Overall it was an excellent trip. Thanks for all the fishing reports and tips. It works.

Sounds like things are getting better and better on the river, thank you for the info, hopefully I can put in a great report on Wednesday, I will be trying alot of presentations with a keen eye on a few of those 14″+ crappies…….
