Fishing the Mighty Miss.
We had a great day fishing the Mississippi today. We took a day trip canoeing down the river from St.Cloud to Clearwater. About a 14 mile stretch. We left at about noon and finished up at about 6:00.
We caught a ton of smallmouth bass. Not sure on the exact count but I am guessing around 40. Most of them were smaller, but we did catch a few nice ones and a couple of good ones got away too. Man it was fun.
I did have one nice catfish hit my Mepps #1, which turned out to be the biggest fish of the day. We had to go ashore to land her. She made some good runs, it was a lot of fun.
Next time we're planning on camping one night. There were a lot of islands we could just pitch a tent for a night.
