With the rising water, new white tails are moving up river for the big spring orgy.
Here’s a couple new pictures from yesterday and a repost of the photos that I posted last night.
Everts had a Easter weekend cancelation if you’re interested.
Below Erick Anderson gave his Uncle Rico a taste of the other white meat.
Mississippi River Guide Capt. Jeremiah Luhmann had a good day on the water and caught some fish too.

If you have a Facebook account checkout the Everts page. I can’t post the videos here and those speak louder then my ramblings.
In a nutshell, I didn’t talk to anyone today that didn’t catch fish. In fact a couple of river newbies from St Cloud where down and landed three nice fish. Pretty good for lake fellas for their first time on the river!
21 feet of water or less. One fella was the odd ball that was successful with black, everyone else was taking chartreuse.
Largest fish today (that I saw) was from a young lad with a 5.8 pound walleye and a 10 pound smile!
Seemed like everyone was using a different presentation. Dragging, Dubuque rigs, vertical and pitching all worked at one time or another today.
Minnows or plastics both brought fish into the boat.

The reactor is on isn’t it 
i’m planning on coming up wednesday night and fishing thursday. how are the crowds during the work week? this will be first time fishing redwing and don’t really know what to expect.
You won’t be alone (and sometimes that’s a good thing) but much less crowded then the weekend.
Whenever fishing the river this time of year, pack extra patience at the landing and on the water and you’ll be fine.
thanks for the info. is the level still rising? been going to do this for years. got the boat out early for this trip. looks like it may be a cold one on thursday.
Oh great ..at this rate there wont be any fish left in upper pool 4 !
Heard from a few people the fishing was slow today.
Hopefully getting out Thursday. Hope the water drops a bit by then. The Chippewa River in eau Claire dropped quite a bit in the last day or so.
Was up there Friday as the river was coming up! How much higher is it today compared to Friday?
6″ and the forecast is to start slowly dropping tonight.

Reactor must be down. 
I talked to one angler and he didn’t have a bite Sunday. As I tell people that are asking how the bite will be next week….
It’s the river and changing daily. BUT, someone is always on fish.
Mike Utley started the morning out right yesterday.
Mike’s friend Aaron photoed with dandy eye.

Would be nice if it came down some. I got my knees wet launching yesterday
It’s been really off and on for me. Pitching hasn’t been very effective but staying vertical has been. Going to try a few new to me things Friday and hopefully put a few more in the boat. I saw a lot of smaller fish caught Sunday but many of them were sauger. Didn’t see any big ones but that will change.
I’m hoping to get the moth balls out of the ol Lund this week.
Parked it Nov 1 and haven’t looked at it since. No winterizing…she’s not use to that! Batteries are on the charger though.
Wonder if the stink bait went bad?
As been said before, there’s always someone on fish (although that someone is never me).
Tyler and Nick had a good time this last weekend!

How would a person know if it went bad?
I’m just guessing here, but my money is how the spam tastes
They are saying 12″ of snow down there now on Wednesday. I was really hoping that snow crap was done for the year. My luck it won’t snow at all in the north metro and I won’t be able to get out and plow to help pay for my new electronics.

Forcast I see is for 3-5 inches.

My question exactly!
Spam AND stink bait. Wonder what that Lund did to deserve such a life?
LOL I saw 20″ for Rochester. Course that won’t effect the upper end of P4.
Tried about everything today and had a slow bite. Not very good numbers and no big fish. Hopefully tomorrow is better
how much snow did the get up there? probably was a pretty uncrowded day.
There’s not much here in red wing, probably 3″ or so. It was an adventure getting here from Iowa though. Not many boats out at all
i was actually planning on fishing there today. i decided to reschedule based on the forecast and travel conditions. i’ll try again next week maybe. i hope the bight turns on for you tomorrow .
What did they do with the 12″ of snow??

Albert Lea to Owatonna was bad
Bite was downright awful for us today
