Ice fishing on the Red

[river-shanty]

Any one have any pointers on the Red River, first year with an Ice shack, not sure what depth to be in? Any other pointers

[simpson boys]

Depends where you are but here are some basic fillers. Green eyes seem, seem to be about 20-22 FOW( edge of main channel). Still hitting on pink jigs and salties. That can and will change,as they were in 12FOW this fall, and untill about 2 weeks ago were at 16FOW. With the cold temps and high pressure and the cycle of the moon we might see them head to the Lake as they do at this time every year. It seems like CBR and Balsam Bay are going better and will improve over the next month and a half. You will get plenty of learned opinions and ideas from the community, some might help and some might be out in left field. Hope you made your shack movable to try and find the ladies.

Good luck.

just got back from lockport , and we smashed the saugers all around 16"   3 people  total was 45 fish in 4 hours, we got one walleye 19",   lockport is a great spot for action and bites, so if your bored of sitting around with no fish or bites,  try lockport! there not big fish , but you have a chance at catching a big fish..  fished 12 fow

Are you fishing right close to the locks or by cats on the red out there ?

It's not hard to break 20 fish per person in a couple hours at Lockport
Like said not lots of big fish but u see the odd One.
On a good day its absolutely nuts though me and my little cousin who I usually try and get out once or twice a year caught 73 fish in just over 2 hours last year!
By the end we weren't even using bait

Like....I gotta ask......since everyone is wondering but too afraid to ask.......do you have a regular job or are you a "Professional Angler"  .......cuz everyday it seems you're fishing someplace different and ALWAYS catching fish.........or do you have a sugar-mama.....just asking

lol ya i know some friend give me crap for having too much fun in the cold, lots of people give up on  fishing when they don't catch, so i believe the pictures help to keep some people not to give up and to keep trying. and i like showing my catch..
