Do any of you Fish on the Mississippi River?
How is the Crappie, and Bass fishing?
Do you do any good?
I've fished some sloughs, but I stay off the main channel. Nothin out there for me...
Catfish, a lot of the small holes that the river flooded are now producing good crappie and bream, some I grew up fishin in southeast mo that didn't have fish prior are hot right now
THe chutes, oxbows and blue holes off the river have great crappie and bass fishin. If you know where they load grain on barges you can find crappie around the pilings.
Anybody fish Everett's Lake lately? Thinking bout giving it a try Sunday...
X2... Any oxbow will be good if u can get thru all the gar...Quote:

Splitshot did you try everett's saturday? There were a couple people fishing down there saturday morning i was just pleasure riding though.
Tried is exactly what I did. :( I tried fishing the willows with minnows and jigs without any luck. Went into deeper water found some structure and caught one nice crappie but it had some kinda fungus/sores on it and one small crappie. Marked a bunch of fish over a ledge and decided to set up to push some minners at em. Turned out to be a school of stripes (a primary school that is - 5 inchers) mixed with catfish and drum. Lost a nice pair of shades on my run down the lake and packed it up.Quote:

Ya we put in and ran to the river. I was in my buddies ski boat. We took a trip to memphis by river. Well atleast you learned a little bit about it. If weather stays cool i might try it this weekend. I think i might have seen you were you north of the put in.
That was probly me. Good luck if you go this weekend.
The River used to be my favorite place to fish. The river was very good for me produceing
two state record white bass. For me the white bass peaked out in '03. In the fall as the river
was more stable and clear the fishing would be red hot for white bass. I could catch largemouth
in the slough's off the river. It was a really a small window as far as levels went. It basically
came down to that you wanted the level to be as low as it could be to accses the sloughs.
Between the curse of the asain carp and the corps the river is in very bad shape. This is based
on the fishing in the Memphis area. As the sloughs have filled in over the years ( this sediment
should be on the coast of Louisiania) the area's for game fish have greatly demenished.
