  • Greeted by an approaching flood and winter storm, we did our best to figure out a good bite for the first qualifier of the new AIM River Division. We were mostly trolling 3-way rigs and stick baits to target some smaller fish down from the dam. Lots of floating debris to contend with didn't help the tough bite but we did our best to work a pretty small pod of fish for a couple days.
    If you enjoy fishing the Mississippi, please consider signing up for one of the new AIM events this year. Looking forward to learning more about the river!

    It's cool to see someone fish an area I have visited. Last time there I fished the barge at Genoa.

    I have had luck years back when it is like that jigging the eddies at mouths of inlets with leeches or tossing shad cranks in flooded side channel/backwaters.

    • @joeokada
      @joeokada  Рік тому +1

      I believe they were called depthmaster interlines. Close to 15-20 years old I think. Looked all over the web for some used ones I’d love to get a few more just to last my lifetime lol

      @@mattioder sometimes, yes. There are many times you're just better off putting out as many lures as possible and plowing through miles of water but if there's a 2 rod limit per boat it significantly increases the chances of ffs holding its own.
