Red River (North) - Thursday, September 22, 2011

Report: 9/22/2011

The action was fast and furious for a while, then slowed down a bit with only 1 fish being caught every 10-15 minutes or so. I tried depths from 1 to 10 feet, with 6 foot being the magic depth. Caught a 9 pound drum, lost 2 very nice walleye at the boat due to not having a "net man"! One was 25-28 inches, and yes, the other was bigger!

Ended the day with a limit of 3 awesome eaters from 16 to 18 inches. Fatheads are still out-producing suckers, and the best presentation is either a dead stick or a jig worked SLOWLY. Slow your presentation down. This warm spell that's going to be upon us should slow the sauger bite down but the walleye should start hitting more. 

Best success will be in slack water areas. (mini-bays, outside bends, rock piles, log jams, sandbar/gravel bar type structures, etc)

Good luck,

Jig-em-up
