- On bright sunny days the mid-day walleye action on the Mississippi River can be slow or nonexistent. I found a way to get these fish to bite!

awesome day! 2 of my favorites slabraps and hairjigs. I discovered the Slab Rap a few years ago and they have become my go to for crappies walleyes and smallies summer or hard water. Thanks for the video!
I'm just getting started on the Slab Rap but I can already see it's potential.
That ice auger for the zombie apocalypse 😂
I’m ready if things get real 😂
Fun video. Heading to my cabin on upper red lake to chase crappies on the 🧊
That sounds like fun! How is the ice holding up?
Good but next week 50 degree days @AnglerX
Pretty cool to have your auger in the boat!😅😂 I'm so jelly of your dams & locks. Really nice areas to fish! Great vids
I just had to put closer on the ice season. It helped having the auger in the boat 😂
good job there doctor
😁 thank you!
Coffee and an Angler X video. Always nice !
Thank you for the comment JD!
Nice educational video again Lance. Always looks funny when there's an auger in the boat!
I gave the ice fishing one last chance. I think fully over it now.
Love your videos! Thank you for the great content
Absolutely! Thank you for the comment!
Good stuff as always fella!💪
Thank you Luke!
I always thought the downstream sides of wingdams were underrated. We caught tons of walleyes anchored just below the 30th Avenue & Anchorage wingdams(pool 14) back in the day.
I'd say most of this fish are still in a state of shock after the crazy weather this week. I did get some 6 to 8.3 pound cats this afternoon on cheese.
I do most of my wingdam fishing on the upstream side but there are certain dams that setup a nice seam and ledge on the downstream side.
I'd say you found the school yard. I had a great day last Sunday catching some nice crappie. Both blacks and whites this time. The biggest was a nice 12" black. I still haven't got out on the river to chase the walleye. The water temp is 45 right now here. I'm guessing they should be spawning any time.
I may go chase some crappie also. Backwaters have opened up now so there are plenty of opportunities.
Nice vid!
Thank you!
Nice catch. I wish my friends with boats let’s go out but they only like to catch bass.
Bass are fun but there is so much more!
Nice to see the hair get some love it’s underutilized
I'm trying to use hair more. It has been very effective.
May i ask, what's your most commen water depth you play in on the Mississippi River for any style fish, an what's your favorite fish too chase out there 👍👍
Water depths range a lot depending on the species and the time of year. In the spring as water temps start to rise all species of fish tend towards shallow water because it's the first to warm up. Walleyes will be in less than 10 feet of water once water temperatures rise into the upper 30's and 40s as will most other species of fish. Spring walleye are probably my favorite then I'll transition into smallmouth, largemouth and pike. I also enjoy fishing for catfish.
You should teach the art of reading a fishes mind to know how hungry they are.
That would be interesting!
Nice video Lance! I want to try some rippin raps soon. Is your boat a Lund angler?

What size jig heads are you using for the hair jigs when fishing the Mississippi? I’m in pool 13 area. Ty
In this video I was using a 1/4 oz but if the flow is stronger I'll go to 3/8 oz.
Thank you @@AnglerX
I'd love to see the actual technique of how to work the bait
I’m casting the bait out and watching the line to go limp which indicates it has hit the bottom. I then reel up or lift the rod slightly to ease the bait off the bottom. Without moving the rod again I’ll watch the line to go limp. I repeat this all the way back to the boat. When a fish hits I’ll see the line jump or feel the bite in the rod. Sometimes there is just weight on the line the next time I go to lift the bait. I’m essentially lifting and letting the bait fall to the bottom waiting for a fish to hit on the fall.
What pool are most of your excursions on?..
I fish pools 5-9 for almost all my videos
The 10 minute mark, 'crushed it' train horn in the background?..
🚂🚋🚋🚋 bite!
I’ve been trying so hard to catch fish at the dresbach damn any tips?
The simplest way to catch walleye and sauger is to do slow drifts using a jigging rap with a minnow head on the lower hook. Start in 25 fow and work your way down stream. Try different drift paths some closer to the Wisconsin shore some further out. There are wingdams along the Wisconsin shore so be mindful of those. During low light pitch jigs on the flats upstream of the wingdams.
Keep the jigging rap about a foot off the bottom with some light jigging movements. Sometimes a longer quick lift can trigger a bite also. Other days just holding it steady will get bit.
Hi honey can you bring home a gallon of milk
