I was just out near Wabasha yesterday and the topwater bite was insane! Truly is a hard fishery to beat - the Mississippi that is. Great video as always!
Do you have any tips for running a 30 to 50 hp tiller around on pool 4 late into the season? My Evinrude looks similar to the one in your old vids 😉.. thanks for the great work👍
If you have a jack plate or trim that can be adjusted on the fly that is a big advantage for shallow backwaters. It doesn't guarantee that you won't hit anything, but it helps.
Im looking for a late 50s to earn 60s Alumacraft 16' FD. I have been on a lot of water from small to big in the f7's. Be nice to have the reinforced transom and larger motor. Id be willing to hit Michigan and Superior again. TIGHT LINES ALL
Last year, I went out on Big Muskego Lake for the 1st time. It's really just a big marsh--very shallow. My friend grabbed a plastic frog from his box that was at least 50 years old. He pitched it into the Lilly pads and BAM! He got hit...and bit off by a pike. Fortunately, he had another frog & I had heavier line for a stronger leader. He got a mix of LM & Northerns. It was a fun day!
Great video, im heading to the mississippi River next week for the first time ,launching at savanna ill, pool 13 . Do you have any tips on that pool? Tia.
I fish the water on the Sabula side some. Definitely try the bridge pilings otherwise I fish wood. Have found decent crappie and gills, know there are perch there too but not for me. TIGHT LINES
Two questions: How many times have you hooked yourself and what's the minimum gear ratio for a frogging reel cause i do find the bass can dive down a bit with my set up? Be there in early Oct but with a torn Rotator cuff...might try a sunfishing with Dad on the Lake.
I have never been hooked...knock on wood. I like a minimum of 7:1 gear ratio. It's also important to have a heavy to medium heavy rod with 50lb or heavier braid. Also, crank down on the reel drag so that there is no slippage.
I have a lund 1775 impact w/115 E tec had a tiller boat for 55 years the steering wheel works better for old guys like me there's no bad choice out there.

Wabasha is an area that I have yet to explore. So much water...so little time.
Three terrific videos filmed in one morning. That has to be a record for you.
I think your right 😀
Thanks for sharing! That was an amazing bass bite. Some beautiful fish too.
Thank You!
Mississippi River is hands down THE best freshwater fishery in the country.
It's up there with the best!

@@chucklutter7399 that would be a great all purpose boat to have. Thanks for the comment!

The pike can be very hard on a frog supply! I like catching pike but man it can get expensive.
Lund 1625 rebel xl, 50hp merc tiller; easy to pull, easy to launch, scoots right along..also has the terrova w/spot lock..
@@markszablewski6619 perfect! Great boat!

Sorry! I have never fished that far south.
Great video. It’s hard to beat a frog bite. Love to hear that braid screaming
Yes! Love the hooksets!

I have a Lund 1650 rebel xl, 60 hp merc, minnkota Ultrex. Like you said, very versatile.
Awesome boat, very versatile!
Alumacraft 165 navigator what ever you have its got to be a tiller
Seems like my boat but mine is a SC with a 60 ? What do you have for a trolling motor and fish locator?
I use a Minnkota Terrova and a Humminbird Helix 5
@@AnglerX for me it is Terrova and Helix 7 mega down and SI
Good to see the frogs getting some action 👀
@@DWSOutdoors September frogging is great!
are the landings low like they are in pool 9 and 10?
The water is low, but most landings should be ok to use.
@@AnglerX Here the DRN said at New Albin you may drop off o be very careful
Man, you were back in there! When is the topwater perch video dropping?!😊
The topwater perch bite has been tough 😂
@AnglerX I believe you! Some would say, almost non existent 🤣
I have a lund 1775 impact w/115 E tec had a tiller boat for 55 years the steering wheel works better for old guys like me there's no bad choice out there.
Nice boat! That's good size for lakes and rivers.
What pool?
We need some made up fishing songs
Yes! I agree 😂
