Where/What: Mississippi River pool 5a bass fishing with Scott
Weather: (1253) E8, overcast, 67º 29.93 falling
H20: 72º, 653.51 falling, 61 kfs, dingy
Caught: some bass, quite a few pike, a dogfish and a gar

Observations: The river up here was quite dirty, and the area was lacking any large expanses of weed growth. I did not notice any wild celery to amount to anything anywhere.

We were pre fishing for an upcoming bass tournament on Saturday. And let me tell you did we ever fish, a solid twelve hours worth. I can honestly say that we did not figure anything out. We caught some bass here and there, but nothing was significant or consistent. we could have caught a decent number of small mouths if we wanted to target them, but they were running fairly small. All the fish were relating to weeds, and especially areas with a large amount of weeds. The most consistent bait of the day was a plastic frog of some sort.
