Took a brisk 16 mile run from my cabin up to the Clarksville dam. Heavy current, 39 deg. water and turbid to say the least from heavy rains. Turned out I was the only fool on the pool.
But be that as it may I finally connected with six scrawny Saugers in about 17 feet of water just inside of a rock point. Lost about a dozen shiners till I finally rigged up a stinger and caught a few of them “Light Biters” Fish hit a 3″ minnow on a hot pink 1/2 ounce fireball jig. 6″ off the bottom. Pulled off the river at 5:00 PM to watch the game and had more heartaches. Should have drove home and listened to Knesyl’s
“Shad Rappers” but being a Rebel I have not yet acquired a taste for the Up Nort Beat. Who knows, If the Walleye start biting maybe I’ll convert and trade in my Merle Haggard tapes for some uplifting polka music. Well at least we beat Green Bay so life goes on. Good Fishun.
