Red River 5-17-18

Catfishing on the Red River went from pretty good to really really good in short order over the past week. River conditions are perfect right now. There are many fish in the seven to fifteen pound range with some bigger showing up. Catfish are feeding heavily in the middle of the river and on the faster current seams. Anglers will need 4 to 5 ounces of weight to keep the bait in the strike zone. Don’t sit on a spot more than 20 minutes without fish.

As far as bait, as long as it is fresh the fish will eat it. Suckers and goldeyes seem to be working about equal. The goldeyes are running right now and are fairly easy to catch for good bait.

Great report Brad, my spring spot netted us 60 cats and many over 8 lbs which is an awesome time. We finished with a 30.25 and a 31 double and for this lake that is huge. Hope to come up and maybe catch a few with you this year my friend………Kirk
