We went out last Saturday and the smallieswere schooled up in deep water and had the feed bag on. I caught several 2 and 3 pounders on grubs and crankbaits plus a 9 pound steelhead trout.

Anybody been on the river for steelhead or salmon yet? I'm waiting for the weather to get a little cooler. Talked to Dick Parher at Parker's bait he said probably the end of the mo. or so.
Ray there in the river now just not in big numbers. I caught 3 steelhead and lost 5 others the biggest was 9 pounds last weekend.
Hi Mix We are going to the river today leaving about 7:00 am will let you know how we do. We will be puting in at monkey island I talked to a guy Tuesday 10/11 he puts in at the launch by IUSB he told me he got 2 last week and 3 the week before that.

Fished the river above the dam at Maggies landing yesterday water temp 45 to 48 and caught 1 keeper LM and 1 SM and 2 short LM all on tubes.
Mix,
New to this site and just getting back into bass fishing (finally an empty nester) if you ever need someone to fish with let me know. Your boat or mine, matters not to me. I'd just like to fish with someone that has experience on the St. Joe.
John welcome to the BBC. I'm not the best on the the river but I try hard. Just let me know when you can make it. I go every weekend and sometimes during the week If I get out of work early.
River is still pretty slow....smallies on rattletraps in the current breaks. Caught a 28" walleye on accident
was out on Tues - 6/7/2009 -
Was told right out of the gate at Maggies from a local that the fishing was slow.
We did not tear them up but did catch a few. ( was out about 3 hours)
Everything we caught was off drops next to deep water ( 8 ft plus) and near good current. Caught four LM...3 keepers - 1 dink.
Caught nothing off flat areas. caught nothing of weed edges, though there were fish there, we just could not get them to hit.
Hello, just wondered if anyone has been on the river and how its it going. Thanks
