I was looking for a little advice and a helping hand. I am an avid bass fisherman from the Faribault Area, mainly a lake fisherman. I have recently (the last couple of years) fished the Mississippi river for smallmouth bass which is now my favorite species to fish for. I’ve had some great luck on Lake Pepin and a bit of luck round the Red Wing area.
I am always looking for somewhere new to try. What I am really looking at is the Mississippi River (other than Lake Pepin or Red Wing area) or the St. Croix River fishing for smallmouth. I am rather concerned about boating safety. Things like dams and wing dams (although I don’t know much about them scare me). I really don’t want to worry about taking out my lower unit of my boat or beaching my boat on a sandbar, but I love to fish rocks and similar structure for smallmouth.
Can you please give me some ideas about where I can go and be safe and still have some of the great smallmouth success that I have had on Lake Pepin. Thanks for the help
Steve
