Red River today

[Bo]

got out at about 11:00 this morning at sugar islant.  Almost right away we landed a 15 inch walleye.  About 15 minutes later we iced a fat 21 incher.  From there on almost nothing.  The only other fish was a small sauger.  Id say it was a great day since most other people were only cathching sauger.  We left at 2:00 with some walleye for supper 8)

Saturday evening I said enough of the village at Sugar and headed north with the shack. Reset the shack and drilled some holes in preparation for a sunday morning fish.
Sunday morning I went out with renewed spirits after marking fish with the vx-1 sat night.
Lots of fish on the graph but no action till 10:00 am Then nailed 3 eyes in five minutes.
The first was a fat 26", second was a 21" followed by a 14".
Another 2 hours of jigging only managed a few hits.
There really are fish in this river.

i drove my 2 wheel drive car on the river, the main path is super packed and you can drive any vehicle on it from the float base docks down on the river just be carefull where you pull off the trail in a car
