Fishing the river

[gcmedic1705]

Does anyone have any suggestions for ice fishing the river. Looking to catch walleye, northern, crappie. Any help would be great.

There's a lot of rivers out there-help us out.
Which river are you asking about?

I'm sorry. This is my first try at this. I was referring to the Mississippi. Lake Pepin and the dyke road. Planing on going on the dyke road tomorrow and have no clue where to go. I'm not much of a crowd follower and don't like to set up in a spot just because that's where everyone else is.

Medic...Welcome aboard! Pepin has not had a real good rate of production yet this year. The dike road has been giving up fish, but the action has been on and off. Probably the best fishing for pannies will be found on the Wisconsin shore south of Nelson, all the way to La Crosse. Try throwing a post in the Mississippi River ,pools 5-11, forum and see if some of those guys can helpget you into some consistant action. Again...welcome!

I ice fish the Mississippi. "Crowd follower" is a good idea around here with river current. I've been out a couple of times. If you venture out by yourself take a spud and use it. I fish around the LaCrosse and New Albin, IA area. The bluegill bite has been OK down this way. I've heard of some nice northerns on tip ups though. The walleye success that I've heard about in this neck of the woods is still coming from boat fishermen.
