  • Fishing the Mississippi's Pool 4 and Lake Pepin: Walleye, Sauger, and Panfish Bonanza

    Fishing the Mississippi's Pool 4 and Lake Pepin: Walleye, Sauger, and Panfish Bonanza
    Oct 5 2024
    As of October 5, 2024, the fishing scene on the Mississippi River, particularly around the Pool 4 and Lake Pepin areas, is looking promising. Here’s a rundown of what you can expect:

    ### Weather and Tidal Conditions
    The weather today is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 62°F and a low of 45°F. Since the Mississippi River is not a tidal river, water levels are more influenced by rainfall and dam operations. Currently, the water level is at its lowest in a long time, resulting in minimal current flow.

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise is at 7:14 AM, and sunset is at 6:24 PM, giving you a good window for both morning and evening fishing.

    ### Fish Activity
    The fish activity has been strong, especially for Walleye and Sauger. With the water temperatures starting to drop, these species are becoming more aggressive. Panfishing for Bluegills, Crappies, and Perch remains excellent, filling in the gaps when the Walleyes are not biting.

    ### Catch Reports
    Yesterday, anglers reported catching several Walleyes and Saugers, with many of these fish being quite girthy due to their fall weight gain. The catch included a mix of Walleyes, Saugers, Bluegills, Crappies, and Perch. The Walleyes were mainly caught using crankbaits on leadcore or longline trolling, as well as casting hair jigs and cranks at wing dams.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For Walleyes and Saugers, crankbaits on leadcore or longline trolling have been highly effective. Casting hair jigs and cranks at wing dams is also producing good results. For panfish, small jigs with plastics or tipped with a chunk of crawler under a bobber or pitched into rock shorelines, wood, and weeds are working well.

    ### Hot Spots
    Some of the best areas to fish include the wing dams, rock shorelines, and backwater areas of Pool 4 and Lake Pepin. The main river sections, especially where there is less bait, tend to have more aggressive fish. Look for areas with wood, weedlines, and rock shores, as these are consistently producing good numbers of fish.

    Overall, it's a great time to be out on the Mississippi River, with the cooler temperatures and changing leaves making for a beautiful and productive fishing experience.

  • Fall Fishing on the Mississippi: Walleye, Sauger, and Panfish Bonanza

    Fall Fishing on the Mississippi: Walleye, Sauger, and Panfish Bonanza
    Oct 4 2024
    As we step into October 4th, 2024, the Mississippi River around Minneapolis is gearing up for some excellent fall fishing. Here’s what you need to know for your outing today.

    The weather is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 68 degrees Fahrenheit and a low of 50 degrees. Sunrise is at 7:04 AM, and sunset will be at 6:47 PM. Since the Mississippi River is a non-tidal river, you don't have to worry about tides, but be aware that the water levels are currently low due to the lack of significant rainfall and snowmelt this year.

    The walleye and sauger bite continues to be strong as the water temperatures drop. Yesterday, anglers reported catching walleyes ranging from 18 to 25 inches, with some saugers mixed in. The fish have been active, especially during the twilight hours.

    For lures, crankbaits have been working well, particularly when used on leadcore or longline trolling. Casting hair jigs and crankbaits near wing dams has also been effective. If you prefer live bait, jigging with frozen emerald shiners or fathead minnows is a good option.

    Panfishing remains good as well, with bluegills, crappies, and perch filling in the gaps when the walleyes quit biting. Small jigs with plastics or tipped with a chunk of crawler, fished under a bobber or pitched depending on the conditions, have been successful.

    Some hot spots to consider include the areas around wing dams, rock shorelines, and weedlines. The backwater areas offer a wide variety of places to catch panfish, and the main river sections near wood and weedlines are also productive.

    Overall, it's a great time to be out on the Mississippi River, with the cooler temperatures and changing leaves making it a beautiful and fruitful fishing experience.

  • Ideal Fall Fishing on the Mississippi River near Minneapolis

    Ideal Fall Fishing on the Mississippi River near Minneapolis
    Oct 3 2024
    As we step into October 3rd, 2024, the Mississippi River around Minneapolis is offering some excellent fall fishing opportunities. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.

    First off, the Mississippi River, being a non-tidal river, does not have tides, but the water levels are currently low due to the lack of significant rainfall and snowmelt this year. However, the levels have stabilized somewhat after a period of low flow earlier in the year.

    The weather today is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 68 degrees Fahrenheit and a low of 50 degrees. Sunrise is at 7:04 AM, and sunset will be at 6:47 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to get out on the water.

    Fish activity has been strong, particularly for walleyes and saugers. Yesterday, anglers reported catching these species in various depths, ranging from 2 to 16 feet. The walleye and sauger bite continues to be robust as the water temperatures drop, with many quality fish up to 21 inches being caught.

    For lures, vertical jigging and Dubuque rigs are working well. Berkley bonefish, curlybones, ripple shads, and rib worms are good choices, along with hair jigs in colors like white ice, purples, and chartreuse. Crankbaits, either on leadcore or longline trolling, have also been effective, especially in areas with less bait.

    Panfishing remains good as well, with bluegills, crappies, and perch filling in the gaps when the walleyes quit biting. Small jigs with plastics or tipped with a chunk of crawler, used under a bobber or pitched, are recommended.

    Hot spots include the rock shorelines, wing dams, and areas with wood and weeds. Pool 4, which includes Lake Pepin, is particularly promising, with its unique fishery offering both size and quantity of walleyes and saugers.

    Overall, the conditions are ideal for a great day of fishing on the Mississippi River around Minneapolis. Get out there and enjoy the fall bite
