Mississippi in Almonte

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Mississippi in Almonte

Post by Shaun_300 »

Been out quite a bit lately and learning what these fish like and don't like! Catching quite a few walleye right in the bay in Appleton and on the last straight stretch before Appleton coming from Almonte. Usually between 12 and 20 feet of water jigging with a white mister twister and white jig head tipped with a worm. Last time out I caught a beauty 3 pound largemouth on topwater, as well as a 2 pound pike.

If anyone sees me out come on over and say gidday. Also would love to have some company if anyone in the area wants to get out for a fish!

Been out a number of times and have done well everytime. Been catching a lot of smaller pike <2lbs on top water which is always fun, a couple really nice largemouth between 3 and 4 pounds and also a few smallies. Water level is dropping though, really got to watch it if you put in at the fairgrounds in Almonte. that first stretch between the launch and the 3 bottles up stream gets VERY shallow. May have to start going to Appleton to put in if it gets any lower. Last time out I wasn't sure if I was going to make it, there was just over a foot of water and it was moving fast. On the way back I just turned the motor off and let the current take me til it hit 3 feet or so.
