I've fished out of a boat in Grand Forks and didn't have much worry about driving full throttle down the middle. But the Red is a bit less mightier near Fargo, and seems pretty low at the moment. With my wife ready to unleash kiddo No. 2 any day now, I'm relegated to fishing much, much closer to home. And given the stupidly amazing weather we're supposed to have this weekend, I figured it would be as good a time as any to fish the Red here for the first time from my finally seaworthy boat.
I plan on launching at MB Johnson Park in Moorhead and then heading north aways. Maybe to where the Buffalo dumps in. Any places I need to be extra careful around? I notice driving across the Broadway bridge near Co. 20 that there's some pretty sizable clumps of brush here and there. I'd hate to beach my boat on it's third ever trip.
Or don't I have to go that far to get into cats? Or would I be better off dropping the boat at the Covenant landing and driving south?
