My buddy and I have been fishing wing dams on the Mississippi north of St. Louis with mixed results. Your video has a lot of helpful info. Thanks!

[@MattStefanFishing]

Good luck!

[@mattorschell275]

Awesome video.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks!

[@rousefire]

Great info . I live close pool 22 on the mississippi river . I like the old Bomber Flat a's in chartreuse / black back .

[@MattStefanFishing]

good bait!

[@joelbundgaard769]

I'm glad you got a nice paycheck at St. Clair. That day on the Chippewa River I caught some smallmouths with a Kietech on your guppy head, it was so low that I was able to walk right out onto a wing dam, and cast directly up river. There were a bunch of bait fish swimming around right in front of the dam.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Very nice!

[@camhester4251]

i've been trying to fish my local river and i got some good info from this video , thanks

[@MattStefanFishing]

Glad I could help

[@AddictedAngler]

Spot on information , I love wing dams . Best wing dams are the ones who have grass or some kind of object on them.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Good point

[@douglasspickler4925]

That's me I always fish the "dead zone ". Thanks Matt for the tips 👍

[@MattStefanFishing]

no problem

One of my best spots on High Rock lake in NC was an ancient Native American wing dam submerged in the very back of a tributary creek I discovered during low water in the early 90's. Killer spot in the spring and especially in the fall.

[@MattStefanFishing]

That sounds spooky

[@gregc2621]

Is it the one I'm thinking of?

[@juleswinnfield826]

Good info again, ive never fished "True Wing Dams" With a loose interpretation of the definition we have man made structures on the The Clair river and The "D" that'll simulate current deflection that you speak of. I look forward to the day i can fish true wing dams. Rivers are always awesome to fish, thanks for the vid.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks for watching

[@jelmo1057]

Thanks for the information Matt, I was not familiar with wing damns, but they sound to work/fish similar to the jetty’s along the gulf coast.

[@MattStefanFishing]

You bet!

[@johnrayner5599]

Wow! Great explanation of the wing dam. I learned quite a bit from this, Thanks so much and great job in the tournament yesterday.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks

[@kirkreusch8415]

Very good content here Matt. Extremely informative and valuable info.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks

[@adamestepp6527]

Congrats my brother for making into the knockout round yesterday in the BPS tour.. Awesome job Matt . was really pulling for you . watched all day on MLf live

[@MattStefanFishing]

Appreciate it!!

[@ChadEddings]

Great video Matt! What size Choppo and lipless do you prefer when fishing wing damns?

[@MattStefanFishing]

1/2 oz and 105

[@kayakfishingforpredators9107]

Wing dams are there in the river to prevent that the current (water flow) carves out a certain (piece of) bank. So the river keeps the same position in the landscape. We do NOT LIKE that are river changes its flow speed to much or suddenly hit a under water sand dune because that sediment is cut away on a certain place ( bend) and disposed at another (wider) place in the river were the flow is slower.

[@MattStefanFishing]

thanks for sharing!

[@shannonkirby9295]

Never fished a wing dam. Don't know if there are any around here

[@MattStefanFishing]

I bet there are some

[@shannonkirby9295]

Have you fished the new choppo 75?

[@MattStefanFishing]

Not yet

[@shiggityswa]

What are tour thoughts about fishing the BPT vs the pro circuit? Pros, cons, approach differences for each? Hope your stay in da murdamitt was pleasant.

[@MattStefanFishing]

I enjoyed it. Maybe I’ll do a video on it

[@rvfishingyet]

Great stuff. Certainly love the choppo/warpig and squarebills. That Carolina is not one of my successful or confidence baits. I gotta figure out how to get snagged less with that bad boy. Great video as always Matt.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks 👍

[@rickvann3489]

Glad you Northerners try to confuse us Southerners by calling Rock Jetties, Wing Damns. But now I know they are the samething. Arkansas River full of them. Ohio River where I'm at none...😪

[@MattStefanFishing]

haha yep they are the same thing
