Blood River trip

[fishn_ia]

Just got back tues. night. Good trip, weather was cold sat and sun, but mon and tue were great. Caught a decent amount of Crappie from 18" down to 11". No dinks !! Caught a few sauger and yellow bass, and the ocasional drum. All in all a great rip, can't wait till next spring. Probably done with the "southern" fishing for the year, a couple more trips to the ole mississipi then it's deer hunting time !!! I have some pics, but they are to big to download, so if anyone can tell me how to make them smaller I'll give it a try.

it's a free hosting site for pics. It has a built-in resize function. You could use the URL address for oversized pics ... or the IMG address to put pics in the message/text box. Pretty simple ... just copy/paste the address into this text frame. ...... cp

Nice fish!!! I have fished blood river area a few times in the spring not the fall. What area of blood river was you fishing? I have fished around the Paradise Resort area and caught some nice ones in the spring haven't gotten to get up there this fall. But might have to make a trip now.

We where fishing mostly steep ledges in 14-20 ft of water. Some spider rigging, but most caught jigging off the bottom. We also got into quite a few decent Sauger useing this same method. Did pick up some nice slabs on brush in 10-14 ft fishing from 7-9 ft deep on mon and tue. when the sun got out and the weather warmed up a bit. Most fish where caught on light colored jigs tipped with a live minnow. They also seemed to strike with a .3-.5 mph boat speed.

As a side note here's a few Walleye and sauger we got into yesterday up here.
