It is with great excitement that I announce my new podcast, Catfish Best Source. I have teamed with the crew from Grand Forks Best Source to do a 13 week series of podcasts about catfishing, fishing in general and just good information. This is not your sit on Facebook Live and ramble on podcast.  Check […]

Just like that the 2020 season is over. Looking back on it with all the “stuff” of 2020 everything went pretty well. We had some holes early caused by uncertainty but numbers where about where they need to be. We caught more fish than last year. While fish over 20 pounds was down, the average […]

The water levels are perfect and stable making the catfish react very well. We are catching good numbers of big fish on frogs and one day dead suckers. The fish have finally made their way to the fast water making for some faster and more fun fishing for this guide. We are on the home […]

The flood is over and everything is leveling out. The catfish are hugging the drop on the off current seams. Bait is alternating between sucker and frogs.

The river was up and down one more time. It appears to be level now and the big fish know it. The past four or five days have been game on for big fish. Fish have moved to the middle of the river and are eating just about anything you throw at them. We are […]

River levels are about perfect. There are lots of big fish around and they want to eat. Sucker and frog have been the best baits. Now that the water is stable the fish have moved into the current and are putting on the feed bags down the stretch. We still have dates available if you […]

The spawn has come to and end and with the recent high water the fish are rockin. There are lots of 13 to 15 pounders around and some pushing 20 pounds or better. They are bulking back up now so big fish are just around the corner.  Right now as the water drops the fish […]
