Was wondering if anyone knew some good spots to try on the RR of the North.  In the Gf area.  Or any small lakes around the area that are worth the try.  Ive fished the red lake river many times and have had good success with the eyes and the saugers.  late evening tell midnight was my best success.  IF anyone has any good info i would appriciate it.  Thanks

Looking to go fishing on the RR of the North, North of Grand Forks.  Wondering if anyone knew any desirable areas to catch some saugers, eyes, and Northers are always fun.  Thanks

1.Well the catfishing for me was just awesome as it usually is every year, but it was exceptionally better this year like someyears in the past. 2.GoodLuck 3. Bigger 4. For both years? Uhhh...Well the logs i havein my book are not very consistent so i'd say....... Mid to high 20's   Not sure howaccurate that really is but seems like a guy always gets a nice one or two or 3..LOL. 4.Thoughts, The river has really put out some GIANT numbers this year.Im almost certain it be the same next year.

I have an informal survey for you guys. 

1.Thinking back to 2010 and comparing to 2011 how would you rate the catfishing on the Red River? 
2. Did you have better or worse luck?
3.Were the fish you caught bigger or smaller? 
4. What was your average fish lenth for both years?
4.Add any other thoughts or comments you can think of too? 

Thanks in advance.

Hit the Red (GF) today, had good luck with cats, they here hitting on suckers.  Tried to find the greenbacks but they were just eating half of the minnow, not the half with the hook.  Does anyone know how to solve this problem.

Went out to try to catch some cats or walleye. First stop caught 1 goldeye and no bites on the cat rods. Second stop nothing but snags. Then tried drifting downriver while i switched tanks, caught 1 northern. We then decided to keep drifting and managed to mark some huge fish on my depth finder in 10-17ft of water. We could not seem to catch one as they would always bite short. Tried running back up river but the fish seemed to bug out. Next time i will be anchoring there!

Launched from the north GF boat ramp, some debris in water, some shallow parts so be aware! If you know the river you should be fine.
