I spent the morning on the Mississippi River at lake City jigging the marina docks and the breakwater. Things were pretty slow but then we had a hard blow coming from the Wisconsin shore upstream at a 45 degree angle. At 40 degrees and with that wind in the face, things were less than pleasant however we did manage some fish. The big one was a ten pound channel cat that thought my jig/plastic was tasty. One crappie taped up at just over 13 inches and a sunfish gave up over 9 inches. For the most part though the fish were smaller. Lots of sunfish in the 7 to 8 inch range. Just the one crappie.

Everything came deep today. If we weren't on 18 feet of water or more we couldn't buy a hit. A major cold front rolled thru last night and certainly wasn't a help to the cause.

Its a little early yet to get very nervous about a day like today, but in the end it was a nice day to be out and enjoying the fresh air.
