Hey guys. A buddy and I are going to try our luck on P4 on Tuesday. He just got a new HDS Gen 3, so we’ve got to test it out. I’ve fished down there before, but it’s been a while. Beyond getting to Evert’s, buying some bait and hopefully picking some brains, we don’t have much of a plan! So any tips on what/where/how to focus our time would be appreciated! The only thing I’ve heard so far is hair jigs and minnows. Any other presentations worth trying? As far as location, anything at all there would be helpful. My experience with eyes is 95% lakes, so on a big river like the Miss, I’m a little out of my element. Are they staging in the main channel waiting for water temps to go up a bit? Should we focus on the main channel itself, shallower flats on the side, or the breaks in between? Would side channels and backwater be worth checking out? I imagine there are always at least a few fish to be had at the dam, or the wing dams? What about running down to where Lake Pepin starts to form?
Thanks for all the help guys, I’m pumped to scratch the open water itch that I’ve had for the last several months!!
