[whodaman]

[RAPTOR]

Kenny what is the water like down your way i am in pool#12 AND#13.We are still solid ice bank to bank. I am sure we will be sending a lot of hi and fast water down your way soon ...
...

[catfish kenny]

Its already here,I havent went to look but my brother e me and said she rose 5-6ft of bank overnight.Its gonna be a high water one this year fer sure.

Hey Kenny the water dropped a little over a foot last nite. You can almost see the wall from the bridge. Getting closer people, got the boat all ready, and just waiting for the time. Later Andy

[catfish kenny]

Matt-you get this way make sure to let me know-my boat is ready and I am looking fer a excuse to get her wet.......as of right now though I think it will be a wasted trip.......The water is roaring good.

[catfish kenny]

Me and Andy wnt peepin yesterday-upside is icing out,Yacht club dock is sill iced over but you can get in at Mt.Rose,She is dropping a little but she is still pushin hard.....now if we can just get some 40*-up days...
I dont know what the water temp is but I am thinking 36-40 is goooood!bet she is only 33-36 though.
I just might try to go out sunday-supose to be in the 40* and I have a new reel to try :wink:

[1sporticus]

Water is back up about 6 inches, I went and looked at the Yacht club ramp, and it's almost thawed out. Looks as if it's pretty thin Ice, and I'd probably be able to break it up with the boat, it's only about 30 foot to open water. Water temps have got to be coming up some, so it's close fellas. Come on down Matt, but I think 15/16 March would be better. Later Andy

[catfish kenny]

Ready to go if it warms up-boat is loaded .......................................

[catfish kenny]

I"d say she is holding steady "HIGH!" and moving-No Bait yet so it aint time

[justwannano]

I'm thinking that with all the snow up north and winter precipitation being high this year there is gonna be a LOT of water coming this way sooner that we want.

[1sporticus]

Yup Bob, I do believe your right. Don't matter, I'm going fishing anyway. just have to change tactics. Have a great day. Andy

[catfish kenny]

HMMM me tooo......................................!

[catfish kenny]

I went to the river and she is looking good-no bait at the honey hole yet.She is dropping....boy is she.......We are on the way in season fellas-

[Catfish_Calvin]

Hey Kenny is there much junk floating around up by the dam?

[catfish kenny]

I havnt been in the boat & up there but today a couple boats were up that way.....Id guess she is prety flushed-she is pushin prety hard....

[catfish kenny]

Its supose to hit some nice days coming up so .....I am ready to go and seeing wed or thursday rollin out................

[Catfish_Calvin]

Well ive been working out of town the last month and ill be home for 48 hours starting sunday so im going to take advantage of it and do some serious fishing. Sunday i plan on catching some bait in the afternoon and fishing all night. Im either going up the skunk and fishing for flatheads with livebait or going under the Keokuk dam and fishing cut and live bait.

Id love to get a picture with a blue cat so Keokuk might get the nod. Have any of you guys been having luck catching shad near the dam in Keokuk? And is the dam opened up on the Illinois side? Any help would be great. Thanks!!!
