Mississippi River - Alton Pool (Pool 26)

Matthew, Savannah and I went out on the Mississippi around 4:00 Saturday afternoon. We fished St. Louis Yacht Club Marina. Water temp was right around 50F but fluctuated up to 53F and down to 48F by the end of the day. We fished for about an hour. Both of us started with Jerk Baits and then Matt switched to a jig and craw and I switched to a Shad Rap (7'-11' suspending). We got 2 hits in the hour we fished. Both were out in the middle between the docks. They just tapped the bait. I'm thinking they weren't bass. It was a good trip & Savannah loved it. Air temp was about 65-68 with blue skies and a bit of wind. Water was up and over the bank at Riverside.
