Howdy all!
New to your site, but thought there would be some intrest in the Mississippi walleyes ? Is there a bite in Davenport or is it mud also?

Fished the miss. in WS.last week wed. and thurs. for walleyes!! Caught and released 2 @ 7lb.8oz a 8.12 and a 9lb 9oz:party0045: several 6lb + fish!! Heading back up tues. morning!! :party0011:its a great fishery there, and the river is holding real steady rising about a foot a week so far! saw a few cats caught there also:confused0024:! it would be good this summer for flatheads I bet!

Hey Swamp Rat, welcome to WIF! Those are some nice EYE's you got there. I guess all the big rivers are up pretty good. My buddy Mike Fowler in Hartman, Arkansas said the river is way up out of it's banks there. The Blues are fertilizing all the farmer's fields for'em right now....Ray
