Sorry for the delay in reports. We had our main computer go down.

The water is falling again and it seems to not have affected fishing all that much. The fish have moved from the OFF current edges to the middle very near the main current seam. This does take a little observation to find the right spots but once you find it you will understand where to put the baits. The deepest holes do not seem to be the best holes but rather the mid range seems better. Currently in Grand Forks this would be where it breaks from 17 to about 22 feet.

Bait seems to be whatever right now. I am still using dead sucker with great success but have caught fish on frogs. Lots of reports of frogs being great too.

Sit times the past couple days have been pretty short. Generally if a fish will bit it will go before minute 10 but always give it a few more for a second one to find the bait.

Congratulations to Alan, Lisa and Zach Erickson on their dominating win at the Catfish Capital Challenge at Drayton this past weekend. They weighed a tournament record 92.72 pounds of fish over two days earning an $11,000 paycheck.

September open dates are 3,5,7,9,15-17,22-30. Call or email for specific dates.
