It is that time of year. We are shut down for 2024. It was an up and down year in both fishing and business but at the end they were both good.  It came is as my 6th best year in terms of numbers of fish but is not far from 3rd. If we didn’t […]

Little weather hiccup and everything seems back to normal. The catfish are back in the middle fast water and feeding. The bite is kind of a grind this week as they are holding in smaller holes so not every hole has a fish in it. Keep the timer rolling at 20-25 minutes and stay on […]

A small storm last weekend pushed the fish more out of the current. Sit times have not been affected much but if you are not in the right current you may not catch as many fish. at about 10 minutes for the first fish but I have still been staying for 20-25 minutes to make […]

THE RIVER HAS STABLE WATER! This week the fish are in mid river holes with faster current and it is GAME ON! I am still using 5oz sinkers because of a few of the spots I am fishing but 4oz is working fine in most places Sit times have shortened to about 10 minutes but […]

Water levels are back to where they were at this time last week. Up five feet and down five feet but is starting to level off at 20ish feet in Grand Forks.  Ramps river wide should be opening soon if not already. Catfishing is a little spotty this week but showing signs that the spawn […]

New week new high water on the way and the spawn is in full swing. Right now, catfishing is a grind for sure. We are now on our fourth high water in just over a month so the fish are confused from that and add in that spawn. Fish tight to cut banks where there […]

The water is rising yet again on the Red River. This time appears to not be as bad as the previous two but it is still changing things.  The catfish have moved back from the middle break line to the shoreline or drop off that is normally the shore into the river. Generally, areas where […]

Heavy rains last week have the river angry. It is expected to reach flood stage tonight and remain for about a week. We are currently shut down and will resume as soon as we can. It looks like about June 5th. The positive to this high water is that it is happening during an upstream […]

Things have slowed a little over the past week. All this means is the crazy numbers of fish are more normal/ Water levels remain perfect, water temps are still in the low-60s and the bigger catfish are continuing to move in. There has been rain upstream near Fargo that is going to put the FM […]

Catfishing remains fast and furious this week. Water levels are still near perfect, water temps are in the low-60s and the bigger catfish are moving in and bulking up and get ready for the spawn which should still be weeks away. The fish are clean and healthy. The forecast looks very favorable going forward. I […]
