Sweet nice fish! Was that you in the new looking flat bottom boat last night? I peeled out right as it began to get dark… my 13 week old pup had about enough.

Fished for a few hours yesterday afternoon. Flipped one sauger over the edge and had another fish on that felt closer to the size category we’re looking for, and naturally it spit the hook halfway up.

Anyone goin out today?

Yeah I hear you on the ice. My biggest question was just if there’s any legitimate specifically hazardous areas in that stretch. I plan to just spend a good amount of time checking various areas out along the way. Miles of good water which I’ve never been on so hopefully learn some stuff and maybe get to put the bend in a rod this weekend! (In a non snag type way)

Great thanks for the reply!

Hey guys I’ve read posts on here for awhile but never joined so I guess hello my name is Charlie and it’s nice to informally meet you all!

I have a question. I’ve began to cut my river teeth on 4 the last two years but I’ve never fished 2. Just in terms of navigability, if I were to drop in at the 494 bridge, is it safe travels up to the confluence if you watch the buoys and like generally use common sense?

Hoping to splash the boat on Sunday maybe I’ll see you folks out there!
