Harvesting a large bird has the benefit of a fair amount of wild protein to fuel the dinner table, and while you may have lots of recipes for the breast meat, I’d like to propose one that uses any and almost every part of your hard-earned wild turkey meat, including the breast meat, thigh, wings, and even the drumstick if you have a bit of time and a sharp filet knife.
The largemouth bass are off their beds and stationed on the deep edges of weed lines. So how to go about catching those fish?
Where the bass are – and how to catch ’em.
Despite the heat, plenty of walleyes are being caught at area lakes and the Missouri River using various techniques. And what about bait care?
There were a lot of weed-walleyes caught since last week and most are being taken with simple presentations such as a slip bobber and leech or live-bait rig.
Try different things to see what works, such as reeling at slow or faster speeds, twitching, or jerking the bait as you retrieve. Stay on top of the weed beds to trigger instinctual bites.
The Upper Mississippi River isn’t just home to flathead catfish, however. It’s home to the smaller catfish, as well. Taken together, the Upper Mississippi River is a top-drawer cat fishery.
