Mississippi River?

I plan on fishing the Redwing area this week for walleye and Sauger and was wondering if anyone has had any luck fishing there this year.

You'll catch fish.  I had a buddy fishing that area last week, he said he couldn't keep em off the line  :)

Hunting Guy,

You were right. We caught a little bit of everything from Redwing to Hager City to the dam. Saturday was great weather for a day on the Mississippi. We put some walleye, sauger and white bass in the boat. It was a great day.

Bearfat,

We had the best luck with red tail chubs and shiners, all smaller minnows with 1/8 oz jigs fishing current edges. We tried plastics and had no luck at all.
