Low Flow River Walleyes | Key Main Channel Structures on the Mississippi River for Summer Walleyes

We're starting to see the signs of fall and that means river walleyes are getting active. A great place to start is main channel structures on the Mississippi River.

Absolutely! Thank you for supporting my channel!

[@andrewdiventi4845]

I'm going to have to say I've seen a lot of fishing shows. This is one of the better ones I've seen. Thanks for the lesson.

[@AnglerX]

Your comment means a lot to me! Thank you so much!

[@ryanoleston7136]

what state park in Wisconsin? how do find where the wing dams are located? I'm new to river fishing

[@AnglerX]

You can find the general location of wing dams by checking out the Navigation Maps provided by the US Corps of Engineers www.mvr.usace.army.mil/Missions/Navigation/Navigation-Charts/Upper-Mississippi-River/ I have the Navionics boating app on my phone. This shows the location of wing dams as well. The most reliable way to find them is visually reading the water. South winds will expose the location of wing dams by creating a well defined line of ripples. There will be a well defined line of ripples adjacent to a a slick line. Calm days will also allow you to see them. North winds make it tough to see them. The red and green channel marker buoys are generally placed at the ends of wing dams but there are many wing dams that don't have a buoy. If you suspect you are near a wing dam you can motor up near it very cautiously and watch your electronics to get a better idea of its location. The depth will rise rapidly as you approach a wing dam. Also, if you know the general location of a wing dam you can cast a jig or crankbait at the wing dam and "feel" the lure up and over the rocks to determine its location. Like I said earlier visually identify them by reading the surface of the water is the best way. It takes a trained eye but you'll get in after some practice.

I Always look forward to you vids Lance, and even if your advice doesn't sink in through my thick skull I still get the motivation to get the boat ready and get out and fish! Thanks!

[@AnglerX]

😂time on the water is most important

[@Jewishcatfish]

@@AnglerX Sunday morn before sun came up crushed the eyes at Lock and Dam then later down river hooked into a 25lb Flatty one of the best days ever at the river!! Time on the Water!!

[@blakekalakay6992]

I’m new at targeting walleye and sauger on the Mississippi. Are you at anchor when fishing this way or are you using a trolling motor? Great video, and I have been learning a lot from you.

[@AnglerX]

In the past I would always use an anchor. Since getting a trolling motor with spot lock I no longer use an anchor. I use the trolling motor to keep my position.

[@buttface383]

Quality as always! Just learning the wing dams and how to fish them. Thanks for the tips.

[@AnglerX]

Good luck out there!

[@rogercarlson2330]

Thanks lance

[@AnglerX]

Absolutely!

[@terrymeloy8116]

Use some supper glue to keep your plastic on longer

[@AnglerX]

That’s a great tip!

[@HK-pg1bt]

Awesome boat set up, what is the length of the boat?

[@AnglerX]

Thanks! It’s 14 feet.

[@mattioder]

Way to open the show with a bang what state park was that?

[@AnglerX]

Thank you! I can’t make it too easy and give away all the information. I’ll bet you could figure it out 😉

[@catfishstalkeroutdoorswith530]

Great video! Do you fish both sides of the wing dam?

[@AnglerX]

I generally just fish the upstream side of the wingdam.

[@ryancole7937]

What lb thrust is your terrova? And how does it do in the current?

[@AnglerX]

80lb, handles the current well

[@stanleybailer3350]

Crank baits yeah ? Them waldos they are real chubby chasers yeah ? No jerks ?

[@AnglerX]

Just casting to the rocks and then a steady reel back to the boat.

[@stanleybailer3350]

What a way to make the fat lady dance pal way to go !!

[@NateFFishing]

[@AnglerX]

Thank you Nate!

[@riverrat988]
