Red River (North) - Friday, September 16, 2011

Put the boat in at the convent landing for what is the last open water trip of the season.  time to switch gear and go hunting.  Took the kids with me from 6:30 till 8:00.  My daughter caught a 14 pound catfish and my boy caught a 11.5 pound catfish during that part of the trip.  Then dropped the kids of with my wife at the ramp and picked up a couple buddies and stayed out ill 12:30 this morning.  Activity while the sun was up actually was prety good but for some reason the fish were not hooking up.  During this time we had some tremendous hits on our bait, some of the best I have had in a long time.  Once the sun went down activity of large strikes slowed down considerably and we caught several smaller fish (under 10 pounds).  We were using what I would consider to be large to medium sized frogs, and almost all of our strikes came from the deeper water in the main channel.  We actualy did not catch any fish the whole evening on the rod closet to the bank at any spot we tried.
