Ice is flowing down the Mississippi River but the walleye are feeding aggressively on shad. Weaving my line between the ice flows I’m able to catch a few beautiful fish!

Like I said before you could get your limit in a mud puddle in your driveway. Great looking fish. Thanks for taking us along with you. Always enjoy your videos.

lol! I’m pretty sure I’d struggle to get bit in my driveway mud holes. I appreciate the comment.

I liked how you pulled that last 20 over the skim ice to the net. Reminds me of the Missouri up in S.D. where we had pickup sized bergs to deal with.

I find it amazing how aggressive these walleyes can be even though the water is still very cold.

Always enjoy and learn from your videos. Thank you. Thats the best looking "quality size" video ive ever seen. Reminds me of the late 60s early 70s in Northern Wisconsin and southwestern Ontario. TIGHT LINES

I think the average size of walleyes on the upper pools is increasing and we should continue to see this trend.

I'm in Pennsylvania still waiting on ice, so I'm soaking up all the open water winter walleye content and techniques I can. Great video and great day brother!

Nice, I'm many pools below you but only 2 mi from the river. We've only not been fishing below dams for a month when it was froze. Doing ok to well most times out

Someday I'll venture south and try some new pools. I have yet to fish Pool 10 and anything south of there.

Big storm on the way for Friday ! It's good to see you taking advantage of the mild winter before the nasty weather comes ! I could have used one of those walleye's for dinner Friday ! Perfect eater size ! 😋😋😋

Next week’s weather will change the fishing options on the upper Mississippi River significantly.

It was just cold enough to freeze up the guides on my rod. The wind wasn’t bad so it was tolerable.

Looked like fun. Hoping the ice sets up down here by the 20th. Tired of drinking too much whiskey and watching Key West videos.

I don’t know where you’re located but the ice coverage is going to increase significantly over the next couple weeks.

I wonder who came up with the idea for those fishing barges. We don't have them down here, but they seem to be popular from Guttenberg to Trempealeau.

They have been around for years. I always wondered how one ended up having the property rights to have them built. They are always in the area below the dam that holds a lot of fish.

@@AnglerX I can definitely envision altercations happening between boaters and the floats if we had them here.

Hey Lance, have you ever used jigging raps in the cold water, or is that too aggressive for this time of year?..

@edo522 6 ай бұрын

Everyone says they are too aggressive in the cold water, I thought the same thing. Then one of the first weeks in December last year I saw a guy mopping up the eyes between the wing dams. The bite did die that week, but it taught me a lesson. It's worth a few casts!

@AnglerX 6 ай бұрын

I was always under the impression that I needed to slow the presentation done in cold water until recently. The water was 32 deg on this day and I was fishing pretty aggressively with the blade bait and jig. The fish were still smacking it.

This video was recorded before the snow. It takes some time to edit a video. I try to keep them as current as I can.
