Red River Report- May 10, 2012

Catfishing seems to have slacked off a bit from last week but is still good. The fish seem to be spreading out making staying on the move more critical than it has been in the past couple weeks.

With water levels normal the best plan of action is simply fish lots of spots keep moving around until you find active fish. Some of the better places to try are faster water near break lines or structure near deeper water.

It also seems there is a better morning bite than other times of the day. Bait of choice again this week is sucker but goldeye is also producing fish.

Good temperatures in the forecast and the spawn getting closer should bode well for catching catfish.

Thanks for the report Brad. The last 3 days here the bite has been slow. Picking up a few channels here and there but def has slowed since last week.

It appears I have the pattern dialed in. I talked to 3 boats yesterday that were complaining of poor fishing. I thought my day was fine. I didn't put 20 fish in the boat but I stayed above the goal and put 3 over 14 in the boat.

Thanks for the report bro! Fishing should pick up this month for everyone hopefully. May has been very good in the past for us... rollo
