So a few weeks back a window opened up to sneak up to the Canadian side of the Red so I could actually catch some catfish rather than be the net man. We had a new guy in this operation, my 7 year old boy. He is no stranger to big cats but had never been to that stretch. As far as the fishing goes I would say it was horrible for being the Selkirk stretch and I'm pretty sure we could have done better in Drayton but besides the fishing we visit old friends, eat great food and have more than just a fishing trip.
Now my boy got the hot hand while the rest of could not (beginners luck) and he managed to squeak out his Manitoba specialist of 5 cats 34" or bigger. He last fish on day 2 was 36.5 inches long and weighed in at 24 pounds breaking his personal best 23.5 from last fall. So with that it was great and memorable trip for all of us.
