Update 9/1/10 Wednesday, Sep 01, 2010 by Ron
Hey, I got here on time this week for the report. Anyway, lake level is at 613 and it looks like the really cut back on pulling water today. Not sure of the significance of that. I think Iowa got hit with a heavy rain again so maybe the river was flowing high again. The crappie are scattered again, and the bite yesterday was off due to the weather that came through. we didn’t get much rain out of it though. Same old story, fish the piers, the trees on the channel especially where it comes close to a bluff, and still reports of some dandy fish coming from shallow water. It won’t be long before the pattern starts to shift to a more fall pattern, but for now stick with what is working for most. We had some dandy crappie come in for pictures this past week as you can see in the pictures. Right now it seems minnows are the hot ticket, though we went through a lot of Crappie Rockets again this past 2 weeks. —— The cats are starting to move again. We had that 45# blue last weekend and Mary said another 40 some pound blue and 48# flathead came in since Tuesday. I will post those pictures on Friday when I get home again. The ones this week came from lines while the one last weekend was on a rod and reel. It looks like they are getting them in the main channels.—-Have a great Labor Day weekend, and remember, it will be crowded on the water so play it safe!!
