Report Details
Red River Walleye Adventure #2 for 2011.Well,.........we weren't the only ones fishing for Walleye yesterday! To my suprise, there was a boat from SD (at least the pickup plates were) in one of my spots so we parked on a random 10 foot shelf. I was feeling it at first, but that wind man, I swear there were 40 MPH gusts and boat control was tough. We made the best out of a bad situation. The action was good/constant for a while. Drum, drum, drum, drum, sauger, sauger, pike, goldeye, 22 inch walleye, drum, sauger, 12 pound pike, etc, etc. Nothing wrong with that.
Well, these people are camping out, so we decided to get our caps blown off due to the 800 MPH winds and cruise around a bit! (sorry Joe! hope it's all dried out now) We try a new area (at least new to me) geared up more for trophy fish and not those yummy eaters. After 2 missed fish we switched gears again and found a nice hole by a current break. When the big rods are bent in half, ....get ready for a big fish! Or a missed fish? Anticipation is high after a few disappointing hook sets. Maybe there ARE big fish here? Yep, there are. 10 pound catfish. 12 pound catfish. What????
Well silly, the water temperature is 60, NOT 50-57 like we want it to be, to put those Catfish in almost total dormancy so the percentage of big walleye hookups are 75% and not 50%! It's ok though because Joe and Lloyd start talking smack to each other, "well you might as well reel up right now Joe, I'm gonna hook this big walleye" (amidst the 12-16 inch sauger they keep catching AND losing!!
)Check the clock, 7:30pm? Freezing? Windy? "Hey the truck has a heater." Should we idle back to the ramp or just say "put the pedal to the metal?". No thanks I like being able to feel my fingers. We call it a day just ONE fish short of a very, very respectable limit of eaters.
Thanks for the memories guys. Good luck on the River too!
