Comments

We started out fishing the lower end of pool six, but fate had another idea for us. We started out of the landing at Perrot Park using just the trolling motor. After we fished the northern shoreline and decided it was time to crank up Terry’s big motor and move, we ran into trouble. The motor just gave a little click. We had a dead battery! Plans were quickly changed and we loaded up the boat and headed for Winona. After a battery pit stop at Fleet Farm we were back on the water. Except now we were on the upper end of the pool, uncharted waters!
I cannot say fishing was fantastic, in fact it was not very good at all. This end of the pool is much busier with recreational boat traffic on the weekends. Again, we had the best luck along rocks that bordered the main channel.
