[BASSKING]

its been real high and extremely muddy since all of that rain hit but its showing inprovement and is falling slow. i would imagine the sauger bite is pretty much over but the white bass and hybrids should be biting when it gets back to normal. i hope to find out sometime this week, i think im taking a couple days off and trying to get something together.

Caught several blues and one walleye. The blues weren't that big largest one was only around 20#s. Gettin better. Welcome to the board. Chuck

Assuming you mean McAlpine upper pool (Cox Park, Duffys, etc.) - the water level has been at normal level for quite a while now, but it's been muddy and flowing pretty strong. Hasn't been too much debris floating, and what is floating is mostly small stuff. Fishing has been good in the creeks where the water clarity is much better. The sauger bite was unbelievable yesterday - caught more of those than the bass I was after. Maybe had 8 or 10 sauger all over 15", with the biggest around 2 lbs. - Sauger were hitting my chartreuse crankbait and soft plastic in about 6 ft of water, particularly in areas where current was flowing around rocks. Prime example is the rip rap on the downstream bank at the mouth of Captains Quarters and around the old bridge abutments in Harrods Creek - similar areas in other creeks produced the same result. Would like to have seen how live bait would have produced.

River expected to come up slightly with all the rain yesterday.

we got about 11 cats on the low side blues channels and a small flathead, the water was high and mighty, and the fish were very scattered, the current was doing some strange things it was going backwards in some spots, very strange, saw lots of bighead carp jumping in the shallows as we rode by, the moter seems to drive them crazy.
