Time to Fish!

[Red Childress]

After a 9 day break due to high water and crappy weather, I was surprised at how much color there was in the river. We had a solid morning while netting 2 nice pike and losing a musky after rolling her on the surface. The river had a substantial outflow drop around lunchtime and so did our fishing action as we did not see another toothy the rest of the day. The super sunny weather didn’t help much either. River temps have really dropped the past week and are getting closer to the normal ranges for this time of year.

We are keeping an eye on tomorrow’s weather but still plan to fish as of now.


Good luck and stay tuned!

A tough day of cold-front fishing for my boat. Not only did we not see a toothy but the wind and wind direction was a real pain in the arse. We covered tons of water using different techniques but just couldn’t get anything going.

With tomorrow’s forecast looking bleak, there is a strong chance that today will be my last day on the water for 2022. My hip replacement is finally coming on Tuesday and excited to get things fixed.

Today will be another musky hunt and it would be great to end the year with 1 more slimy net.


Good luck and stay tuned!

Saturday was another rough day for us. We didn’t see a toothy all day. We decided to cancel today’s outing mostly due to the rain (that is arriving soon) but also the lack of action over the past 2 days helped to make that decision.

So, that is it for 2022. The boat began her winter hibernation yesterday while mine begins today.


Good luck and Happy Holidays!

The hip replacement went well and I am on Day 6 of rehab. The rehab has been somewhat painful since I elected to bypass the heavy painkillers and just stick with Tylenol. I can assure you the same strategy will not be used with the knee replacement.

Modern medicine is pretty amazing.


Good luck on the water or in the woods!

The river levels have dropped back down and are very manageable but there could be some heavy coloring South of Warren as a result.
