May 5, 2016 Thr

May 5, 2016 Thr 5PM-8PM-bass and pike fishing with Nate Hoffman
Where: Mississippi R. pool 8, Dresbach Dam area
Weather: (1753) W5, clear, 70°
H2O: 8.38↓, 73 kcfs, 58 °, clear
Caught: Me: 1-12” sauger, 4 pike 22-38”
Nate: 1-12” LMB, 1-24” pike
Observations: The river is starting to recede and is very clear. The apple trees are blooming and the lilacs have started to bloom. The water level in Dresbach Bay is up into the bushes and slightly into the trees.

This evening’s fish hunt with one of my co-workers went pretty good. I originally wanted to target white bass, but they were uncooperative. The best area for us tonight was the bay on the Minnesota side up by the dam. Nate had a comparably sized pike like mine on, but he lost it at the boat. Unfortunately for my large fish it suffered a torn gill and had to be kept.
