Red River (North) - Monday, August 29, 2011

I said it on Friday and others have said it too, the fishing around Grand Forks is really good right now.  The bite has changed some since last week.  Last week they wanted deeper faster water, then they moved to snags then out to shallow fast water.  Great numbers of bigger cats are coming in.  It seems that the best bite right now is about two hours before sunset into darkness.  There really is not bait of choice.  I saw frogs shine one day, sucker then next and heard guys saying goldeye was the ticket and I could not buy  a fish on goldeye so bring it all and see what they want that day.  I think right now stay on the move mix up the bait until you find active fish and then let the madness begin. 

The river is really manageable now and looking like a great fall in store for the catfish guys.
