Newest and latest fishing rig for 2005... mmmmmmmmm

[Wiskers]

Hey fellas check out the new fishing rig for the river.. I took it out today and run the river for 30 miles. up and down the new dam after the ice went out. It is looking pretty good down there.. We will just have to wait and see how all the rebar treats us in the river for fishing.

Any one notice the hat on this fella down in MO????? Anyone recognize it?

[Deitz Dittrich]

WGR- Looks to me like a JR's Tackle hat?

Did I win the prize?

FYI.. very cool looking boat and Truck!

Dietz-

Thats a Hot Bite Fishing hat!! Looks like I win a free ride in the RiverPro.

Rusty- Nice Paddlefish. I just read the ND Paddlefish snagging regulations. Its kind of an interesting read. I've got to get out and try that some day.

[Wiskers]

Yeppers HBV... I dont leave home with out it.. LOL... that hat has been all over MN, ND, SD, IL, NB, MO, IA.... that hat was even at the Arch in St.Louis MO...

A river Pro ride it is..

SWEET!

Mmmm-Boy...I have been waiting to see this new River Pro model Eh.

Fill us in Wiskers, what's da speck's on it?

[Wiskers]

Just under 18', 98" beam, still 175hp sj, new improvments are: larger dog house allowing for a seat, large dry storage up front with trap door on top instead of cubby hole, new color, sides are about 6" lower making for firmer sides and quiet ride and the front is filled with foam also helps make it quiet and stronger. Rear deck is a bit smaller and it has a 9 degree hull instead of a 6 degree. Over all it runs like a jack rabbit and and handles like a nascar.

KEWL!

Rusty, what a sweet looking rig, maybe our paths will cross this year up at Stu's and I can get a ride! planning 3 trips up there this summer, or maybe I'll just have to take a drive to Crookston, Dave

[Canuck]

Shef: When are your 4 trips????

[shefland]

Hi Canuck, not sure about the exact dates, but the first week of June, third week of July, and around the 13th of September, any any other time the urge strikes, its been a long winter and I can just hear that clicker!has the ice gone from the river? with that current I am sure it has. Soon the fun begins.

[Wiskers]

Canuck... You have to work on Stu to get you one of these rigs.... tell him to get with the times and Get R Done..LOL LOL ....

I was practicing for kitties up on the Rainy today.. got into some nice Sturgeon...

Hey guys I am really not a catfisherman, but I am just curious are they in season right now?

[Ed Carlson]

The catfish season is continuous on the US end of the Red River of the North and will open on the Canadian end in mid May.

We are starting to catch cats now on the Central Red River here in the Fargo ND area. Points to the South of Fargo on the Red may be even more active at this time due to slightly warmer water temps in the rivers.

Most folks are hunting walleyes yet. The cats will get more pressure by anglers soon.

[Wiskers]

the cats have not started up here yet.. Still too cold..

Ed start sending up some warm water would ya.. LOL..

[Ely Lake Expert]

Thanks for the replies, I was thinking about trying catch a couple for the fun of it in the St. louis river in forbes.

[Canuck]

Rusty: I thinks U will hve to wait and SEE what Stu has up for this Spring. I am sure there will be many drolling over it.

On the Sturgeon end, I was suppose to be headed down there this weekend but mommie is on pegs and I can't get away. Stu may be headind down.

[Wiskers]

I hear about his new rig.... if it aint a RP he is still missing out.. LOL.... But it does sound pretty nice.. The only downfall is handling it in the current..

Cant wait to see ya on opener.. woooohooooo

[Dennis Steele]

It sounds like you couldn't get more comfortable in Stu's new rig. If those things trailered better and handle less than 4" of water, I'd be driving one!

[Canuck]

I be thinks there maybe a little friendly competition coming. I will have to stick with my old Lund, poor meeeeeee. Only a month away. We picked up some new reels and really looking at putting them to the test.
