Red River (North) - Thursday, September 8, 2011

Report Details
The cold snap of last weekend slowed the catfish bite but the warm temperatures of this week are bringing them on strong.  Lower more normal water levels are also making getting around much easier for more anglers. 

Fish are coming in most traditional areas with the bigger fish coming in the fast water.  Fronts of holes and along channel breaks seem to be the best areas.  Sucker and frog are the baits again this week.  The preference seems to change from day to day so mix it up until you learn what the fish want that day.  Stay on the move and great things will happen.

 Captain, when you talk about sucker or frogs, do you mean live or dead? I have gone out several times recently with very few bites on dead sucker or frogs...

I like live suckers for the fact that they don't melt off the hook so easily.  As for frogs, i haven't had much luck on frozen ones.  I have heard you have to flash freeze them if you want to use them, they build up an antifreeze in their system that seems to turn fish away.  just my 2 cents.
