Update on the Fall Greenback run...


Recommended Posts

The Red River's fall greenback run is really starting to take shape! Today some guests of mine from Ill. hammered some beauites. They ended up with a dozen between 20 and twenty two inches and they released a nine plus and an eleven plus!

As I have been predicting all along, all it will take is some cooler temps and things will begin to fall into place!

The water temps has dropped another two degree's since yesterday, it's now sitting at 59 degree's. The action will remain hot for the duration of the open water season and this winter the action should be mind blowing!!!

One word- Thunderstruck ! The feeling one gets from a fishing rod when a monster greenie slams your jig or rapala.

Keep the reports coming Stu. We are fired up.

Just to add to your comments about TS's, they caught everything pulling cranks! The report I gave was reagrding their morning session, in the afternoon they ended up releasing a five and two sixes!

Guys working jigs are also producing so I guess it's all up to what you enjoy the most!

I have to agree with Stu...... I fish both the Red and Winnipeg River systems a fair bit each fall, and have found the Red outproduces for BIG fish, the Winnipeg River seems to provide more numbers. Finding large fish in the Red now, and having just finished close to 4 days on the water.... the largest one I caught so far has been 29.5 inches. NOTHING like having those greenback walleye on the end of the line.... As Stu mentions, the rivers are within an hour of each other, and there have been a few times when I have fished both in the same day. Good luck wherever you decide to head.

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
