[Set The Hook Guide]

Might head to pool 4 on Monday. Anyone have a report?

Bright hair jigs with a fathead and stinger hook seems to be the main producer 10-15 fow heard of an 11 pounder and a few around 10 that have been caught. I am headed back out on Wed. and saturday.

KTapper is spot on. Pull cranks has been producing well as well.

Report from pool 4! Lots of small Sauger biggest was 15" and one small Walleye. One Sheephead, one catfish, two white bass. Did catch one big fish. A Buffalo that was about 30 lbs. All fish were caught in 12-18' of water.

Picked up some decent saugers and a 17"eye there yesterday morning. Lots of small saugs too though. Playin' bumper boats the whole time too Jigs ,hair jigs,and flashers were all working . I 'm pretty shure I saw just about every color they make being used!

Dumb question but is pool 4 RedWing? Ford Dam? Other?
Why do those Corp of Engineers hosers have to make things so complicated?

Nice report, sounds like the fall bite is getting in the full swing.

Watched a guy hand linin' drag in a nice fat sauger by the tail too!

I got back from the river a few hours ago. Started early on the water a 6:30 about and hour or more before one boat came. Hit them early shallow but only one keeper and a big white bass. Moved to another spot rigged up with hairjigs and started getting some keepers and bigger fish also used blade baits too. In all caught more fish than I could count kept 5 sauger/walleye for the fry pan, and one white bass. Fun but the weather could have been better.

[sandmannd]

That's a nice catch. I'm itchin' to get out there.

sandmannd I was out there again on saturday and the weather was awesome and the fishing was even better than the day before! you need to get down there soon. Let me know when your going there and ill see if I can make it over there too.

[sandmannd]

I don't know if I'll make it anytime soon. Troller motor isn't working right so gotta hitch a ride. Might have one this week, not sure yet.

I haven't been out in a while to do some health issues. I good friend of mine has been fishing pool four as well as the croix. Nice eyes are coming with a jig and a minnow (Fathead) or plastics on a jig. He's been getting limits most times out of 16" + fish. Lots of small ones mixed in as well.

Good fishing.
