Caught these on the Minnesota river this summer. New to this whole thing, would like to know where to catch ’em this late in the year… and how I should be rigging. Been dragging bottom with large sucker minnows.
I haven’t been out for a couple weeks but will be Friday and Saturday. We’ll be using slices of sucker to start off with. Then on to a few fathead minnows on a circle hook with one or two alive and the same dead by squishing.
Couple types of stink bait will be in the arsenal along with a gob of crawlers.
Smaller baits seem to work better as the water temps dip.
I’m new to this sight, and have to say a lot of nice catfish caught. I enjoyed the pics. Looking forward to this next season. I fish the Red River in the Fargo Moorhead area. Here are a few from the summer of 2012.
