    Hey guys, been a long time since I’ve posted anything here and don’t know if anyone remembers me or not but I’ve been really busy lately now that I’ve gotten into the trucking industry. Anywho my old man, a friend and I headed out to the redwing area in hopes to catch some big flatheads. I guess we did decent for the time of year. Got alot of runs some hit and miss but my buddy caught a couple flats nothin big both were 12-15 lbs but none the less they were flats and some real nice forktails all from 10, 12, and even a 15 pounder. It’s slow and they’re all spread out but I know a few real nice flat and channel spots I won’t tell specifically but it’s around where the vermillion dumps into the Missippii. Anyone here fish that area at all? I’m wondering if it’s maybe better to fish the main river idunno. Wish we had live bullheads that night prolly woulda caught more, those damn suckers die so easy. Wish we remembered the cameras too but anywho were gonna give it another shot maybe this weekend. aight have a good one all.

    I remember you…up in St Paul with your freind from Dakota(?).

    I’ve been talking with a regular cat guy at Everts and he’s been nailing the channels…mostly in the 5 lbs area.

    Check in often Andy…lots of good stuff coming on IDA these days!

    Good to have you back.

    You didn’t happen to be out on Saturday night with a john boat at the access across from the Mr. Sippi were you? If it was you, I wondered where you were running to as I was running into the backwaters.

    I also heard a rumor that Dean may have some bullheads at Everts coming up here. Any truth to that Dean?

    I was running into the backwaters to check out a few things. I think I know the area you talk about. I have been meaning to check it out this year Have not made it up there yet. I normally don’t hit up towards the damn until temps get a little higher.

    Everywhere I go I seem to be fishing by a *damn*! Some days I fish by many *damn’s*, other days its rare to encounter a damn… but when its catfishing.. it seems a damn is always involved… I even have a few damn’s on video while catfishing, especially when fish come off the hook! Right Manny?

    Yes Andy, I remember you too.. I’ll eventually see you around!

    Now gentlemen, I thought this was a family site

    I have never uttered a foul word, especially after loosing a fish, missing a hookset, or snagging up because of my stupidity

    If you have fished with me, you know that I never use that word. I have much more colorful and descriptive ones.
