Kayak fishing the Mississippi River Backwaters during a Flood!

It's like I never left! Feels so freakin' good to be back exploring the mighty Mississippi River backwaters! The spring rain made for an interesting adventure with the pup as we traversed newly formed "channels" and pools of water that were dry since last spring. These fish are moving shallow this time of year so I figured it would only make sense to target those shallow coves and along the banks where the structure was! Managing to find some largemouth, walleye, and a few pike was epic and I couldn't be more excited to head back out there and fish again!
Thanks for watching! Catch ya'll on the next one!

[@scottglandon854]

I love fishing those backwaters. I can’t wait to get out there and fish again! Keep it up!!

[@LoOutdoors]

Scott! Great to see your name again in the comments - been awhile! I appreciate the kind words and yeah, I’m right there with you! Those backwaters are my absolute favorite!

[@bronzebackanglerharden3482]

Pups getting big!

[@LoOutdoors]

I know right! Growing up super quick! Kinda makes me sad haha

[@NitroBoarder17]

Seriously top quality videos you put out man, i said before. i dont watch many fishing UA-camrs, just you, ndyakangeler and roland martin sometimes. Absolutely love your style, great fishing, great commentary and you just have such a chill, fun personality. Nothing about it is in insincere, just a dude, his dog and some fish. No need for theatrics or pointless bs, just pure, genuine good vibes and a love for fishing!

[@LoOutdoors]

Don’t make me blush! Hahaha nah seriously that’s absolutely awesome feedback and I very much appreciate it. People like you who watch is what keeps me making these videos. Easy to get lost in the algorithms and kinda go “meh” when it comes to making content, but seeing this stuff is enough motivation to keep-on-a-truckin’! Thanks so much 🤜🤛

[@NitroBoarder17]

@@LoOutdoors Heck yeah man, I appreciate the effort in putting them out there for us. The algos gonna algo, but man quality is there and its a blast to watch and come along on your outings cuz your a heck of a fisherman! Im glad to be subscribed and watch every video!

[@LoOutdoors]

Can’t complain! Feels good to be back out there on the river!

[@NitroBoarder17]

Still killin it man great video! I fish up in the mississipi headwaters area! Bemidji area. Had a great mixed bag tonight, couple smallies and largemouths, northern and a walleye all on a weightless wacky worm, great time.

[@LoOutdoors]

Now THATS a good mixed bag! Shooooooooewww! Wacky worm is absolutely deadly! I don’t throw it enough honestly. Nice work!

[@LoOutdoors]

Ayyyy lesssss gooooo! Appreciate that! 💪

[@michaelb4938]

Hope to bump into in Minnesota on the Mississippi River from a Minnesota friend

[@LoOutdoors]

Most definitely! I’m always out and about fishing in those neck of the woods - if you see me say hey!

[@kirkallen1246]

I want so bad to bring my dogs on the boat with me, but I'm so nervous there gonna jump off. Should of started them earlier!

[@LoOutdoors]

Yeah starting early is the key no doubt, but old dogs can sometimes learn new tricks too! I got lucky having two dogs (this one and a black lab/golden mix) that are both fairly calm in their demeanor naturally. I had a Shiba that passed away late last year and I could never have imagined taking her on the kayak with me!

[@XyZDemise]

I have a Oldtown PDL 120 fishing kayak, based out of MN. Fish the Mississippi, Croix, Pepin and lakes. Should link up sometime and get some fishing in. Also what baitcaster are you using?

[@LoOutdoors]

Absolutely! And this day specifically I was using a Tatula SV TW limited (smaller one) and the bigger reel is a Tatula 300 by Daiwa!
