Larry,
Love the show.
A buddy and myself have fished the upper st croix north of Grantsburg , starting at Nelson's and drifting down to the highway 70 bridge. We have been doing this for the past five years, and our learning curve has slowly gone up. My question is, we have started to hit a wall in the amount of fish caught(all fish, even the eye's, are returned to the river) using just top water or shallow running cranks. We have always assumed that this part of the river was either to shallow or to fast to allow tube style/soft plastic type of fishing.
I know this is your "boyhood backyard" in terms of fishing, so any suggestions in other types of lures would be very helpful in trying to increase our fishing experience.
