[QUOTE="Paul Scott, post: 300632, member: 7419"] I got spoiled fishing in Grand Forks I guess. I do not keep fish for food, but love to catch and release them. I prefer to fish from the shoreline with a rod holder. I like to watch my rod bend over and catch big fish such as carp and channel catfish. I spent most of my time fishing the Red River for these two species of fish and area lakes. Now I live in Minot, and I cannot seem to find a good place to catch channel catfish or carp near me. I also am having trouble finding shoreline access. I think the fishing piers are a joke because I cannot net fish from them alone or reach the water to wash my hands. I prefer to use stick dough baits for both catfish and carp, so I need to wash by hands off after baiting the hook. I also do not like high grass areas because of the ticks. It is also nice to have a bathroom close by if needed. Grand Forks was a great place for me, but I cannot find a similar situation in Minot. I tried Rice Lake and could not find any place to fish. It seemed to be all private and had just one fishing pier that was occupied. The local river in Minot is more like a creek. It contains bullhead catfish, but I have not caught any carp or channel catfish from it. Sometimes I like to toss lures for Pike, but I need long stretches of shoreline access. I have driven down to the Missouri River system and found places to fish, but it is very far over an hours drive. Is there any bodies of water closer to Minot with lots of carp and channel catfish to catch? [/QUOTE]
