Any luck this weekend?

[CarpinMNRiver]

I went out 3 nights this week and only boated 1 8lb channel. Tried live bullheads/cut bullheads, live suckers/cut suckers with not much action at all. We got off the river right before the storm on Friday night. Hopefully the water will go down a little bit soon.

Anyone having any action?

I spent about 24 hours on the river this weekend, and I haven't caught anything. A lot of runs, I just can't hook them.

I fished Granite Falls last night. Only caught 4 channels. I had a lot of runs too.

I launched out of chaska the past few nights. I guess the only thing you can do is just keep fishing and trying different spots and something should hit. Going to launch in shakopee and go catch some carp.

No luck this weekend either

Well now that the weekend is finally over, I can say it was fairly productive.

The channels and smaller flats continue to be willing to cooperate, but still having a hard time finding the bigger flats.

Got about a dozen channels and 5 flats I think in total on Sat and Sun.

Fished the Franklin tourn on Saturday night and only caught one 9.5# flat and 2 channels...1-9.5# and a 5#. both channels on cut bullhead. I was fishing a inside bend on the edge of a hole. I should have been fishing the trees because I heard that is where the piggys came from. 44#3oz was the biggest in Franklin.

We got a 9 pound channel last night and my buddy got 2 flats. The flat was about 12 pounds. Nothing huge. I found a spot in the river where bullheads are pouring out of the creek if anyone needs to stock up. We caught them one after another on jigs and crawlers. I would think that would be a good spot for cats if they are still hungry with all the bullheads in there. Night fishing is kind of addicting.

Larry, I saw your boat in one of Dtro's videos. They make great river boats.

Was on the Crow last weekend in the canoe and caught 12 cats and a walleye.

Cats were all channels except one, most in the 1-3 pound range. Had one around 5 pounds and two around 10 pounds (one channel one flat, the channel was actually a little bigger than the flat). The walleye was of decent eating size being around 14 inches long. Also caught a little smallmouth (6-7 inches). All in all not a bad weekend, especially since we were just out to camp, ATV, and canoe a little and decided to take some gear to throw a line in.

PS, everything caught during evening hours 5-9pm, didn't have equipment (mostly lighting) to stay out much past dusk since we had to paddle back to camp.

[bchevycaprice]

what rig?

[DTro]

A flat on the crow huh? I'd love to see a picture of that one.

[pureinsanity]

Oversized stone cat?

[Alagnak]

I'm in the truck on the way there with some big bullies, I'll send you some pics. ;-)

[maddog2099]

Would have had a pic of him, but didn't have the camera with. Forgot it on the kitchen counter, not surprised as it was my first fishing trip in a month...

Everything was caught on some old RIPE leeches and some redhorse cutbait.
