Lockport Report

[shefland]

Just returned from another great trip to the Red at Lockport. The first day was slow, guess it had been slow for a couple of days previously, then the kittie action turned on, and many many 17 to 23 pound cats were on the prowl and chomping. Stayed at Stus Cats on the Red, and as usual it was great, always meet interesting folks here, others that have the same sickness that you always get when you discover the fun of catfishing. The guys from Strike King were filming another show that will probably air sometime this winter. There was a lot of water flowing thru the system, standing water in the fields, what a difference a year makes! dry and low last September. Now its time for fishing those "other" fish here in Northern Minnesota, next cat trip next June!

Dave, You will just have to stock up on those blue gills. My wife says THANKS. They are outstanding. Maybe one of these days I can really retire and we can just fish. Here's hoping....

Fished this week up at Stu's, had a blast!

Rain had the bite on, and off, and on again...you just had to keep on the ball to where they moved too. Caught 20-30 very nice cats per day, a few 25's and better, and a mix of up-and-commer-future-sumo's.

Tested the Greenbacks a bit, not too much really. I caught a few and a mess of sauger..fed a lot of sauger...sneeky critters Eh. Them pesky sauger are frustrating at times....Grrrrrrrr.

I have a hunch....once the river clears a bit, the greenbacks will really show up...just a hunch? Some good catches have been made but it is spotty and you need to show patience to key in on the bite.

With this nice fall weather them sumo's are putting on the pork for winter guys. Lots of kitt'ys to be caught yet.

I stayed at "Cats on the Red", and as always Stu and crew were spectacular hosts.....I love that place!

Thanks for everything Stu!!

Rusty, thats the first step to recovery, but then who wants to recover from those Red River Cats!

[Canuck]

Rusty, I was away from the 26 Sept until late last nite, fall moose hunting. No luck but lots of fun and some real exciting things happened and will fill U in when U are up next. I was talking to Stu today and I see he posted on the greenbacks. For your info they are pulling the locks on the 14th Oct so the water may be alittle bit disturbed for a few days after that and the eyes usually shut down until the water clears up, BUT this weekend should be real good. I hope to give it a try tomorrow morning and again on Friday

Well maybe I should head up there Sunday??????????? Hummm Im off for a few days.,.... Hummmmmmmmm????

If the catching is good that might be what I will do... I will look for your post Canuck...

[Ed Carlson]

Back from the hunt Eh. Too bad it was not as good as your last hunt, next time...heap big Moosie...right!

Canuck drop me an E-mail with your home mailing address when you get a chance, Rod's too please. I have a couple of deals I should send up for your boys. They will come in handy in the months ahead.

I am chasing a good bite here on eyes and pike too. The Red is still up here, and it has pushed a bunch of fish up into some interesting feeding areas, great shore angling ops. I love good shore angling in the fall, almost as much as you like hunting I think?

Drop me a e-mail soon.

Gots ta run, da early bird gets da-piggys.........><,,>

Hey Canuck.......

I got a message from Pete saying they were heading up there Sunday as they were going through grand forks.... If you see them tell them to give me a call, I am off Monday I might head up there in the morning.

They might be the ones in the RP. River Run Guide service. out of the twin cities.

Heck I might head up there any how... see how it goes if the fishing is good up there now.. .. .Like that is a silly question.. lol..
