bassman417 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I went to the river again tonight and fished around the docks. Still nothing. I tried Jig/Pig, Chatterbait, Spinnerbait. There were pretty much GLACIERS!! floating around in the harbor. I thought I had one pick it up, but not sure. The water cant be but 35 degrees or so with all that ice. Next Friday my brother and I are hitting the 2nd Pumping station north of B-town off highway 99. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjensen Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Des Moines here. Finally coming out of hibernation. No lake is too far away as far as I'm concerned. 3 mile, Brushy Creek, Green Valley, would fish the Mississippi everyday if it were a little closer. Recently have become a fan of the Des Moines River too...decent smallies in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next Friday my brother and I are hitting the 2nd Pumping station north of B-town off highway 99. We had a decent weekend down our way and even saw a 6# 3oz Hawg get landed on a jig. River should be coming around soon but I haven't checked it out much yet. Getting high now so I hope that doesn't stay around too long.

bassman417 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Hey rellison. I had another post in the "my tourney" board about last weekend. On sat. I caught 2 bass one around 4.5 and the other 7.5ish. Caught them out of a pond on a golf course in IL. Then on sunday a went again and my buddy got about a 4.5 and I got one right after that officially weighed, 4lb 6oz (took the scale on sun. so I wouldnt have to give rough guesses) What kind of potential does Pollmiller have? Ive been wanting to give it a try since you mentioned it. I finally got a new truck so I can do some serious fishin now. I'm currently waiting on Roses to get my rods in. I ordered 9 of them last monday and havent heard from them yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjensen Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Well good luck down there, hopefully the weather is better than it was last year. Wont be able to make it down there this year but the opens and Mozingo aren't too far off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
