Thanks for the updates. I appreciate it.

Any updates?????

I’ll be chasing walleyes. I’m catching a few down near clinton iowa though I will be doing some deer scouting by mcgregor. Figured I will pull the boat and fish for a day or two.

How is the bite up around genoa in late november or early december?

Any update on the bite at these two locations? Possibly gonna make a trip either this week or next week.

I talked to a guy who fished Saturday and he said he caught 2 keeper saugers. He claims to have lost quite a few others. I’m going to try it again friday if the levels hold steady.

Thanks. I really appreciate it. I wanthink to get there as quick as possible. I’m getting more and more excited as the trip date gets closer. May take the river route home though just to see some nice scenery.

I have thought about using a guide. But i have been fishing the river for a long time. I think i can figure them out. I use the same techniques down here and do good when i am on the fish. I really appreciate the idea. It is deffinitely something i am considering.

Well the reservations were made this morning. I will be staying and launching out of Everts from March 31st to April 3rd of 2016. Hope the weather is decent for us. It would just be nice to get into some good walleye action. Its hit or miss here at home. We usually have a good week or two of the hot bite then it turns into more work than fishing. Excited to see the area and maybe make some new friends. So I will see everyone next spring.

Im just torn between the two different times i would be able to make it up. Planning on a 4 or 5 day trip. So i wanna make sure we will be able to find fish. Im fine with catching dinks the whole time, but some nice eaters would be a plus. Weather that time of year is hit or miss. Just trying to get it hammered out so i can make reservations. I dont mind if its cold as long as there are some fish. Seems like a great fishery.

Thanks for all the help. Gonna hit a G3, Alumacraft, and a couple other littke local dealers to see what they have or can get. Again I really appreciate all the input.

I have been looking at Lunds and Trackers. Probably going to put my Vex on the front. I just dont know what to get haha. Soooo many options and not enough garage space. Guess i just need to get to a show and mess around a bit.

I would be towing my boat out there.

I’ve caught a couple small channels while walleye fishing. Have not really tried for flats yet. Water temp is only about 40. Still a little cold. I will be after them soon if the weather starts to warm up.

I’m still trying to figure out how to post pictures from my phone. I will have a few up when I get it figured out.

That is an absolute giant. Beautiful fish congrats.

Where were all these collected from. I heard talk of a few large walleye coming out of beaver channel. Not sure if its true or not. I have not caught any really big fish. Largest so far is about 5lbs. Hopeing to get atleast one really big walleye this year.

I have fished a lot by myself and its just nice to have a fishing partner. I plan on running saturday morning for a bit up around the dam area. Couple shallow creek fingers that hold fish during higher level and flow.

I hope so. I’m on vacation and wanting to spend it on the water. Chased small water crappies today and did decent. Now time for some spawning eyes.

The river down here is up about a foot and a half with almost 90 for flow. Seems like it would be flowing pretty good. Might give clinton a go sometime later this week if the water levels hold steady.

I work swings and I’m on days this weekend. Earliest ill be able to fish will be friday the 4th. I’m gonna hawk the river level and flow to hopefully get out sometime that week.

I’ve been doing some research and its a very big piece of water. I may attempt a trip or two out there this year. According to stocking records they have put in a wide variety of fish in there. Though we shall see when the time comes. I don’t even know where to start out there.

Ill fish for whatever I can catch. Big catfish have a fond place in my heart though.

That is a sweet fish. Where did ya pull her from?

Im not too far from ya. Guessing you fished the dam in clinton? I haven’t been to the dam since early in the week. Though when we were up there they were biting. Caught a few sauger and a few eyes. Nothing horribly big. They were in the slower moving water about 20′-30′ deep. Hair jigs and meat worked very well. Just be cautious of the ice that is coming over the locks and also how fast you pull the fish up. Forcing them up fast can kill em easily.

Pool 14 runs from below dam 13 in fulton illinois to dam 14 down in leclaire iowa.

Clinton is dirty as always but I found a couple ledges today that were holding them. Looking like possibly thursday for me if thebwater level stays steady.

Went out snagging today by 13. Snagged a few spoonies. Then switched over to eyes early afternoon. Caught a few sauger nothing big. Biggest was about 17″. Gonna hit it again later this week if the water levels cooperate with me.

I’m interested in this area as well. Fished the dam from shore about a week ago and caught to small sauger. Really want to get the boat out but not familiar with that part of the river.
