I dont know why you would spend so much on crank baits... all ya need is a old bed spring and some cable throw out at one of them dams ya are talkin about !!

why not fish for cats
more meat and no limits or a lot less limits
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Where I am good spots for fishing for pickerel are where creeks enter the bigger river-especially after a rain.Lots of worms and bugs get washed down with the run off which attracts small fish,which attract the bigger fish.Good action normally as they are in feeding mode.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Just Above, below or under bridges on smaller rivers/bigcreeks around here there almost always seems to be a hole in those spots that tend to congratulate fish in such places, not so much on mid or larger rivers at least in my area anyways
Also where other creeks or streams enter or where there is a sharp turn in direction or there is a change in flow such as from a shallow rocky area to a deeper slower one
Or where flow is restricted by a narrow culvert ect fishing below such spots seems to be a productive area for me

Spinners like mepps or panther martins will work, small spoons, the road runner jigs with a spinner blade attached to the jig head, minnow on a jig. Twister tails of course.

sucker minnows and shade over a deep hole.i spend my summers on a little creek known for trout but all i fish are musky and walleye.usually out of a 12 ft kayak. if i could only use one lure here it would be the original 5 1/4 gold rapala.

DWC look for slack water spots or slower current , current breaks . Use a jig and minnow , or twister tail ,or split shot and #6 hook with a minnow . The Sioux can hold some nice eyes and pike . Right now the walleye are spawning on the Missouri so I would think they are on the Sioux as well . Best times to fish are before sunup to about 10 am and an hr or so before dark till way after dark .
Off in my own world
Fish on !!!!!!!

Bingo, used to fish small rivers alot in southern Minnesota, white twister tails reeled in slow on the bottom always produced for me, also caught alot of other gamefish.
