Mississippi River Fishing Could Get Weird

[Longjohn119]

I don't know if anyone else keeps track but they've 'flatpooled' the Mississippi from Pool 12 to Pool 17 .... maybe further

Now I've never seen a sustained Flatpool on the Mississippi but I have heard "Old Timers" talk about it happening in the 50's or 60's and they said the fish really go nuts because of low/no current flow .... I guess it would depend on how much rain the area gets Wednesday on whether it's sustained through the weekend

Trick is getting on the water in many places and keeping an eye on shallow structure you normally wouldn't worry about tearing up boat/motor
