ya everyone here run jigs with bluegills or chub in the spring early summer. We fish up next to the dam in ruff water so you got to go heavy or go home. We have caught up to 40 pounders fishing that way but I would like to get them all summer long.I’ve never used ditty poles but i have a buddy that runs them sometimes, lots of channels not many flats. Thanks for the help. Ill give it a shot

What do you use for rigs? We use 3oz jigheads up by the locks during spawn.

I live in north east Iowa and fish the Mississippi pool 10

I think the fishing is bad everywere not just uo there,I fish 10 and it’s been bad for quite sometime now. Water level is up and down all the time. We were up there the middle of june and did good 1 that was just under 10 lbs 1 7.5 and a bunch of 13-15inchers.
