Hey guys. With weather finally daily being in the low 40s here in MN, I'm putting the ice gear away and getting my boat prepped. Since the Mississippi is the only place with a year round open season on bass, that'll be my only option for fishing for the next month or 2. Anyone have tips for ice out bass fishing on rivers? Location? Etc. If it helps I fish pool 4 (Has Lake Pepin on it) and pool 5. Thanks in advance ??

I fish near Pool 9 and tend to fish shallow back waters that warm up first. Fishing on sunny days when its the warmest is usually better. Pretty much throw lipless crankbaits, chatterbaits, and jerkbaits with chatterbaits probably being the most successful early season
