went yesterday and used minnows for the first time this year.... BIG DIFFERANCE!!! ended the day with 24 sandbass... also caught several small channel cats a 16 inch LMB a 9 inch crappi and a drum!!! the fish where in the eddies waiting for the bait to come to them...didn't see any fish trying to spawn. maybe the rain will change things.... all but 1 of the fish were males.

Went last week and caught one in a couple hours. Should be on now...assuming the water isn't moving too fast since the rain.

Depending on the rain, I will be going by the Old Alton this afternoon to see what I see.

This morning at 8 the water was moving pretty quickly. All I caught was brush washed down from up stream. Water level is a lot higher as well.
Someone in the other thread said it takes about 2 days to come back down after a rain.

Was there yesterday. We went upstream from there in kayaks. Crappie bite was good, tons of little LMB. We caught only two male sandies. 10" and 11".

Is it possible to launch a kayak at the Alton bridge? Yessir, right now it is. I did so last night. Its a short drag if there are a lot of cars, even shorter if there aren't.

Launch yak under bridge easy to get in somewhat harder to get out. Tried south just small crappie and small LMB. North had a pipe? U guys just get out and carry over?
Spent as much time tying jigs as fishing
About a dozen bankers out there looks to be slow day
