Mississippi Wingdam Walleye! Stop #3

I prefer artificial-only tournaments but if the rules allow, you better have some willowcats ready for summertime Mississippi River events!
Guy and I take a couple days to try and find a bite that can keep up with the best river rats in the Midwest. We still have a lot to learn and explore, so come along as we soak some walleye candy for some nice Mississippi eyes.

That was awesome

[@WapsieLureCo]

Another great video Joe ! Such a positive attitude and fun to watch.

[@joeokada]

Thank you!

[@jaegek]

i had a super fun day on pool 4 this Monday. the white bass were going absolutely nuts chasing minnows top water. if you kept the jig high you would catch white bass and if you bounced it off bottom you would catch walleye/pike/small mouth/one super angry flathead. I love these videos, teaches me so much. keep it up!

[@joeokada]

Glad you like them! Those flatheads can trick you for a second, make you think moby dick walleye is on lol

Old river rat secret If the wind isn't blowing scull your boat behind the dam, watch were the waves split or do something different fish it

[@joeokada]

Good tip Larry!

[@surgeoutdoorsangling]

Great Vid Joe, I do something very similar in Saskatchewan rivers. Find current breaks & holes then cast lindy rings at them. Works great.

[@joeokada]

Nice, keep it simple!

[@surgeoutdoorsangling]

It’s tough to beat a Lindy Rig in a river up here, simple is as simple does. Crushing eyes 👍.

[@0ly001]

Good job. It is a long drive from Hagar City to Wabasha. I was fishing across the river from you this particular morning.

[@0ly001]

Also, the best jigging rap rod for me is your 6'10" jtx.

[@joeokada]

Yes it was a drive, but fun day!

[@bricethompson6624]

That wingdam bite has been hot lately. I been catching them on the Berkley dredgers up on pool 9 and 10. Haven’t tried the willowcats yet because of the price. What size weight were you guys using?

[@joeokada]

Nice I might have to shoot over soon! We were using 1/2-3/4 eggs but way less flow compared to your pools.

[@casey_lee7579]

Great video and attitude! What kind of weedless hook are you using?

[@joeokada]

Those were gammakatsu wide gap finesse weedless. Fusion 19 makes one too👍

[@glenndaugherity6187]

Joe I had so called Pro bass guy tell FFS is useless in current what’s your thoughts !

[@joeokada]

I’m laughing out loud🤣

[@glenndaugherity6187]

@@joeokada Honest to god he said that lol ! Great video !
