Another front has the fish a little weird again. I guess 95 on Sunday, 75 Monday and 65 on Tuesday might do that. The catfish are just OFF the main current now. It seems they are liking a little deeper water than they were just last weekend. Sit times seem to vary day to day so see what is working for you. I would start with 25 minutes and go from there. With a few days of stable weather they will move back into the current to feed as it is that time of year and good flows like we have seem to get them going.
The water has fallen some the past few days and it is time to downsize from 4oz sinkers to 3oz if one chooses.
Two or three days dead sucker or frogs are still the clear bait winners. It remains a very seasonal bite right now with frogs being better in the morning and night while the sucker takes over late morning as the preferred bait. I did see some success on goldeye late last week but sucker still outproduced it.
September should be the month of big fish based on current conditions. I have dates available beginning September 4th. Call or text 701-739-5808 for information or to book.
