    I started late (2 PM) from Prescott and north. Wind was horrible. I started rigging a crawler – nothing. Went to trolling cranks and got one short walleye. When the wind died down I was able to go vertical jigging with a few more small saugers.

    Fished Prescott yesterday (4/11) in the afternoon. Slow overall but did manage a few saugers. Gulp 3″ minnows (black shad 3″) worked best by far. Did manage a couple on half crawlers and some dink walleyes on vertical blades.

    Outside of a d-bag in a cruiser who thought I did not move out of his way quick enough it was a good day. Some reason he felt he needed 100 yards of space to navigate to his marina in slack water.

    Thanks all. I was out this morning (3/28) for 4 hours and managed 2 walleyes and 1 sauger. Biggest was 20″ walleye on a 3/16th Purple BFishN jig with a white/silver speckle paddle tail (non BFishN) in 20 FOW. Saw a few other fish caught around me but not fast a furious. Water temp showed 41 degrees.

    I may knock the wedding photos off the wall in the living room and replace it with this. I’ll let you know how that goes over.

    I checked out the Fort Snelling ramp on Sunday and it too was iced over good.

    Goose egg for me on also. Fished 4 to 7:30 PM around the confluence down and around Lillydale.

    Jig/minnow, jig/ringworm, jig/crawler – vertical and pitching did not produce.

    Did not see any nets out either.

    Water was 36 degrees.

    Fished Prescott area on Saturday (3 PM to 8 PM). Saugers were hitting jigs tipped with gulp (emerald shinner or chartreuse minnow) or a fathead. Decent sizes with 19.5 being the biggest.

    Caught a few trolling also but the jig bite was better.

    As for Gulp vs. live minnows – live beat out Gulp but not by much. Bigger fish seemed to hit the Gulp more often.

    My first ‘real’ trip to Pool 4. I worked Maiden Rock and Point No Point for 4 hours or so.

    Caught 1 sauger in 12 FOW trolling lead core.

    Anyone else have any luck?

    Pool 2 was fairly slow for us yesterday. Started around the 494 bridge hitting wingdams. Couple sheep and a catfish was all we got. All on a jig with a leech. Nothing on cranks.

    Headed up by the Watergate Marina and trolled cranks from there to the dam. 5 or 6 small walleyes on #5 silver/purple cranks.

    We fished the Prescott area starting at 7:30 AM to 4 PM. Slow for the most part. Caught 12 or so Saugers (all except one was over 12″). No walleyes. 6 or so strippers and a couple of mystery fish (shad maybe?) that I never caught before.

    Jig with fatheads seemed to produce the best.

    Still trying to de-thaw my hands

    A little belated but:

    Fished Red Friday from 3 PM to Saturday 8 AM. Managed 2 – 13.5 inch crappies and one nice 38” pike (released). Two other crappies were lost at the hole. Perch were biting along with half dozen or so walleyes.

    I was out of Hillmans – all the way to the end of the road and to the north ½ mile.

    Regards,

    Chris
