rascal23 Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Anybody fishing pool 2? Any reports in real general terms? I've been looking at adding it to the mix in between troutin'. Got a pretty good idea of where to go and what to use - just curious if anybody has been giving it a go. Going to try to get down there wednesday.

bassfshin24 Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 I was out last weekend for a few hours and had 1bite. Water temps were still only 41-42 at that time. After this warm weather water temps should be in low to mid 50s and bass should be chewing. I did get out last Wedneday for some eyes and smallies and ended up with 2 smallies and missed a few. Biggest was 3.25lbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craigums Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I went out last wednesday, was seeing some backwater areas as high as 55*F, probably warmed up even more over the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpent Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I was out on Sunday. I saw temps around 56-57. Saw a few bass fellas out. I fished the main river and caught a few smallies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunker Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I'm down the river (pools 8/9) but the temps really jumped this week with the warm weather. Bass have been moving. I did pretty well tonight cranking wingdams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN BassFisher Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I was out last Saturday. There was a bunch of traffic south of St. Paul Park! Read some water temps in the mid to high 60's which really surprised me. Caught a bunch of small males up shallow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rascal23 Posted April 23, 2016 Author Share Posted April 23, 2016 Got down to pool 2 for the first time. Cool piece of water. Launched at St Paul Park and went down the long backwater channel. Water temp was 60 - 61 just about everywhere we were. Fished alot of different type of water and ended up with 2 browns, 2 greens and a kitty. 3 fish came off and around a point by CF industries. All fish were nice by river standards, 15"+ with a smallie going 18. One bit a spinnerbait, the other 3, swimming a jig. Tried to duplicate the water where the 3 came from - shallow cover near deep water with a little current, but no go. After watching MLF in Lacrosse, it was fun to put that to use in pool 2 - even if it didn't work that well. We never got into Mooers lake or Grey Cloud channel, not enough time. Just nice to get out and throw the bass gear and work out the casting kinks. Now on to SE MN for some trout fishing . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
