Had it not for covid, we would of gone to wis and fish there instead.  He got families there so killing all kinds of birds with one stone. 

I probably know more about white bass fishing spots by a bridge in wis than I do in mn.  The goal is not to catch a bucket full.  The goal is just to catch one and eat that sucker up.  I already know what stripe bass tasted like.  A wiper or hybrid or white bass, that I do not know unless we buy them at the local fish market and those are not fresh kill. 

Mn trip this year.  Gonna be there by Thursday next week.   Fish and bbq and maybe mistake lake casino is all I'm gonna do.  Anything else like checking out protestors and what not is fantasy thinking.  I'm just sad that there will not be any j4 or flooding with hmong refugee from all over this year.  Not club either.  Gotta go back to basic and just do what I can over there to kill time.  I already did my covid testing with antibodies last week and still waiting for the results either today or tomorrow.  Got to make sure before I bring the nasty over to mn.

Spring run is Getting late/winding down
you might be able to get a few
But you need to hurry up
Can’t guarantee bucket full

Fall run in OCTOBER
Is your next best chance


I love the whitebass because it just freakin delicious
Not alot if bones

Glad you mentioned the weather.  I haven't even packed yet and I already looked at them extended weather so looks like by next week and beyond, a thunderstorm weather is coming.

That means lay low at home and fish when I am able.  Hot weather humid in the early 90s expected and adding a thunderstorm in that type of heat will make the air smelling funky.  Gonna pack light for a raining day schedule.  Rain or shine, I'll push for a fishing trip.  If I can fish under a bridge during raining weather, that'll be cool too.   Hope I don't get sick. 

I'm still adding more spots to fish in the local twin cities area.

My advice is: don’t target whitebass
Its already too late
You need to be setting up stinkbait
And targeting catfish O0

Hot weather next week is primetime catfishing

if anything that I do know is catfishing off the mississippi.   But where is a public access that is safe enough to set the pole for them big river monster is the question at hand. 

Well with catfish at that size from the mississippi, you will need to bring in them big reels.  I don't think my uncle got any real that is bigger than crappie. 

Not sure if he wants to eat catfish.  Them fish are tasty if cooked right but toxic as hell too since they are bottom feeders.  Maybe it is a superstition that eating catfish will make your leg hurt or something like that.  Maybe folks with an underlying condition should not eat them toxic critter.  I know a friend who ate turtle and got big time gout.

Whitebass don’t hang out by the dam much
Too much current
They hangout by the sand, down tree, shore and etc...

Where ever their is rapids and baitfish, you should be able to catch smaller white bass during the summer months.  Except for mid August as since they generally retreat to deeper water for colder temps.

The real villain is looking at you.  The last hero was just not true.  If everything works out in the end.  It's because all things make amends.

That lure though.  We got those lures here in cali but they are much much bigger and we use them to throw for them ocean halibut and rock fish like ling cods.  Will surely pick some up when I'm there.  Next research is to find a local tackle store and live bait shop cuz walmart, well they don't have everything good you need.  They just have enough to survive for the beginners.

Ah good information.  white bass are like stripe bass.  We also target them in moving currents but we have tides over here so the moving currents and movements varies by the hours, basing upon the tides. 

IF you have a boat, you can basically have a better advantage to good spots.  Fishing off the shore, well that's the fisherman's honey hole and with that, no one wants to share cuz here in cali, once the word is out, they be joking that by next weekend, it'll be J4 there.   :2funny:

Right at the dam
I never catch alot of them
If you go mile a half or so down the dam
More success

I like to fish 2-4 miles down stream
Calmer water

You miss the spring run

No guarantees

Season may be over and that is a given.  If it was still in season and with J4, it gives the hmong something to do while doing a refugee run to mn from all over the place.

OH well, I'll just focus on crappie and white bass is a bonus fish.  My uncle can do the blobber minnow style while I'll just cast lures for white bass.  That first video I posted was a hmong guy fishing in mankato area and he was banked fishing with all kinds of species were caught.  That is what I'm talking about.  If you go after one species, you may skunk but if your lure or bait is versatile,  you will not skunk as you will catch other species for a fun time.
