Upper Red Lake Fishing Reports for Minnesota Fishing-Archive
Name: Jerry Upper_Red_LakeFirst message is for cookie-2 responsible adults and 3 well-behaved kids are looking for a shack for saturday, march 1st. Please e-mail me. Keep up the postings- they are extremely enjoyable. Second is for everyone. Youth Hockey and family get all my time til mid Feb. The dozen or so times that I have been up there late in the year this trick has always worked. If in a group split up. Drill extra holes in the immediate area you are fishing. If you start at noon fish the spot for an hour or so. If you dont get any fish MOVE. You need to get at least a couple strays before dark. when you find that spot they seem to move in at dark. The extra holes are for your buddies to join in. Stay away from the crowd and have fun. Name: Marc Upper_Red_LakeHi Cookie, What do you have for Ice Shacks on March 14th? Marc Name: Brian Upper_Red_LakeCookie, Just wondering if you deluxe shack was open for the 7,8,9 of Jan? Thanks, Brian Name: Isaac Upper_Red_LakeHow are Kelly P's houses doing? Is Kelly a guy or a gal? Name: deon roder Upper_Red_Lakegot skunked on the crappies but 2 nice pikes winds from @#@# had to spend the nite couldnt see 20 yards Name: TIMOTHY REED HOLCOMB Upper_Red_LakeFOUND OUT FISHING RED LAKE TAKES ALOT OF RESEARCH AND COMMUNICATION WITH RESORT OWNERS AND BAIT SHOPS, THEY PUT YOU IN THE GAME. AND I REALLY APRECIATE THE HELP, I HAD A SUPER YEAR LAST YEAR AND I THINK TO MY KNOWLEGE THE BEST CAME FROM NOW ON OUT, THE RUSH OF GETTING CRAPPIES FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS YEAR IS THE SAME AS IT WAS 3 YEARS AGO , ONE WEEKEND ONE GUY 10 POUNDS OF CLEANED FISH 2 TIMES UP TO THE SAME HOLES,ALTOGETHER THEY WEIGH MORE THAN THE FISH I CAUGHT SINCE FIRST ICE TRH Name: cookie Upper_Red_LakeI hate to say this but the wife and I cleaned up.We caught over 30 crappies ,we kept 30, then on the way in helped two guys that were stuck and they caught 1 so we gave them 15 ,they were from Sauck rapids. They were fishing less then 100 yards to the north of us. 3 wax worms on a small glow jig did real well, but it had to have atleast 3 on it. I also did well on angel eye jr white and green with minnows .The wife struggled with a blue glow jig which was hot before. COOKIE Name: Brian Upper_Red_LakeGetting excited to come up this weekend. Are there any colors or style of jig they bite better on. Any certain depths. Are they suspending or hoding tighter to bottom. Is there a morning bite going on and what kind of minnows work best. Any info that anyone can suggest would be much appreciated.Thanks Name: justwannacatchfis Upper_Red_LakeCookie or Mom Back- How do you guys cook your crappies, what is the best way? Name: COOKIE Upper_Red_LakeI ate the best tasting crappies for lunch Sunday Thanks to my Son-in-law Cookie.Caught on upper red lake.So if you want some great tasting fish head up to see Cookie. Thanks Mom Back Name: Mom Back Upper_Red_LakeYesterday for lunch I had some of the best crappies I have ever ate curtesy of my son-in-law Cookie . Caught on Upper red lake. Name: Art Upper_Red_Lakecoming to upper red this weekend starting friday. Is the bite mostly in the evening so we could run up to the lake of the woods for the day and till about three and still get in some quality time on url ? Also is there anywhere we could keep our days catch of walleye so we dont have to go all the way back to keillior with the walleye? This would save us at least an hour. thanks. Name: justwannacatchfish Upper_Red_LakeI don't know if there really is any hot spots. If you ask at the resort or bait shop they will usally tell you were people are catching fish. We went out about five miles where there was a group of houses and set up about 150 yards from them. Thats the best advice i can give you. I was set up about 50 feet from another guy he caught 17 and I caught 5. I you don't find them don't be afriad to move. Name: Portable Upper_Red_LakeThe crappie bite has slowed down on the smaller lakes around here, still filling out though. was wondering the spot to fish on url, any info. appriciated. Thanks Name: justwannacatchfis Upper_Red_Lakefishing report- 5 of us were up on saturday and are totals were 44 crapies and one snake about 5 pounds. We caught fish on and off all afternoon, but the best bite was after dark for a few of use. One guy caught 17 and i was only 50 feet from him and i only caught 5. Go figure.Small hooks and small minnows seemed to do the trick. Name: cookie Upper_Red_LakeWill be taking the night off tonight, no fishermen staying here tell wensday. But me and the sweetheart will go out tomorrow and have dinner, watch movies and drop a line, will see how some of the other people that are staying in my cusin houses do COOKIE Name: THE GLASS MAN Upper_Red_LakeHELLO COOKIE THANKS FOR THE FUN WEEK CATCHING SLAB CARPPIES. WE WILL BE UP NEXT WEEKEND. Name: Scott McNamee Upper_Red_LakeI have enabled IP recording. Personal attacks are not welcome here. Name: cookie Upper_Red_LakeMatt did you fish in area I suggested ? Glad you had a good day. Name: cookie Upper_Red_Lakehere is my report, Telly came up fri. afternoon they stayed on lake all weekend 4 guys 59 fish. Big sleeper house 2 couples 28 crappies, took 4 guys out to a spot they fished yesterday and 2 went out this morning they had 32 fish last night and left befor I got a chance to talk to them. Me and the greek were 20 or 30 yards from the 4 guys and 100 yards from Telly we caught 1 fish and marked a few that would not bite. COOKIE Name: Matt Upper_Red_LakeWe were up to red fishing yesterday and had a good day. We caught 10 big slabs. Our smallest one was 13 inches and we had four over 14 inches long. We caught 8 nice walleyes one being 5 pounds, it was frustrating releasing such nice fish. My buddy also landed a 14 pound northern, that was 36 inches long on his ultra lite pole with 6lb test. It was crazy. We also caught two five pound northerns. Overall it was a good day. Most the crappies bit between 5:30 and 8:00. Thanks cookie for the advice we had alot of fun and we look at your fishing reports everyday. Name: Warren Upper_Red_LakeCookie, thanks to you & the "Greek" for all your support & expertise. Joe & I still had a great trip especially with the bonus Pike. I love you brother and I'm glad you're helping all our fellow fisherman! Keep up the good work, Chicago Name: cookie Upper_Red_LakeBrian, If I were a guide what would I charge? I would feel bad if they didnt catch fish, I sure could use the cash after warren was here he ate all my venison but he sure did a nice job cooking it. I wish I could cook like him or maybe it was so good because we were in the middle of a frozen lake ,in a fish house ,with a wind chill of 20 below , watching Cool Hand Luke, having a cocktail.Will give full report tomorrow of how everyones done. PS.Warren I love you your brother COOKIE Name: cookie Upper_Red_LakeNice to see you made it home. Sorry you were 5 short of your limit. Maybe next time you can land your own fish, it takes practice. Moved small house by petes got one fish,guys in cabin got 32 20 yards from us. Went to check on couples in sleeper,they were pounding them, unreal they had a bucket full,I seen one that was 14 1/2 inches long. They were having a blast,doesnt make sense 12 fish one night a bucket full the next.Will be leaving house there untell I get skunked 3 times. Name: Warren Upper_Red_LakeNo Cookie, I didn't have a heart attack when you let the small fish go, I'll just come & catch it next year. Thanks. Your Brother, Chicago Name: Brian Upper_Red_LakeCookie, I have been reading your reports and think it is great your helping people. You should think about guiding. I am coming for the weekend on the 30th and would love to fish with you. We always bring lots of beer. We also plan on taking a drive to Lake of the Woods on Saturday and we could always use another. Name: cookie Upper_Red_LakeWell just came in it was a slow night. We got 12 fish. I caught and released 3 fish . I caught all them on a small jig with wax worms. You might try Hillmens for a fish house they have quite a few houses. Name: fishhungry Upper_Red_LakeThanks Cookie Looking for a shack for tomorrow night do you know of anybody know who would have one this late.where can I find names of people with shacks for rent. Name: SOMEGUY Upper_Red_LakeWell, people, I tested COOKIE's houses out last night...he speaks nothing but the truth...landed 17 nice 12-14+" crappies. Had a good evening bit, a good 11pm bite and a great 6AM bite...all in all, I will not go to bed tonight hungry... THANKS COOKIE...it was a great time. Name: justwannacatchfish Upper_Red_LakeCookie, Dead Stick or jigging thanx Name: Vince Upper_Red_LakeCookie, thanks for all the info. A small group of us are heading up to URL this weekend. Fish or no fish, definitely going to be a good time.<edit by webmaster> Name: justwannacatchfish Upper_Red_LakeCookie, Dead Stick or jigging thanx Name: cookie Upper_Red_LakeI feel that having the possability to catch 13 and 14 inch crappies is well worth the trip.This is a onece and a life time experiance. You could get skunked but if you search for them and are moble you should be able to catch themm . I will be letting all the fish I catch go. So there will be a few extra for other fishermen. Name: fishhungry Upper_Red_LakeHey cookie you seem to be the one to talk to about upper red.We live 300 miles away was wondering if you could steer us in the right direction.Are they biting good enough to make the drive? Name: justwannacatchfish Upper_Red_LakeCookie, I think you would be nutz if you move you house, just reading you fishing reports sounds like you have been doing really well. It just sounds like it is a hit and miss type of thing. I was just on another website and there was a guy on there that went out of Hudacs last night and fished from 4:30 to 7:00 and cought his 15 slabs. It sounds like the fish are starting to move back frome the west, and in time every spot will be a hot spot. And yours will just get hotter. Do you get a chance to fish the morning much, just out of curiosity i was just wondering if the morning was a better bite or the evening. Name: cookie Upper_Red_LakeLast night was a slow bite, we fished from 5pm to 11pm and landed 12 croppies.I let a 11 inch crappie go and you would think I let a state record go the way my brother acted. I tkink I will let all crappies I catch go the rest of the time he is here. The wife landed a 11 # northern on here new zebco ultra lite.We were able to take pictures ,she played it for at least 5 min. what a blast. Will find out how some of the other fishermen did and let all know COOKIE PS. do I move my house today? Name: Mike Upper_Red_LakeHey, I'm comming up to Red Lake on Saturday with my dad. Kinda like a father son fishing trip, and we would like to know where the fish are biting and at what depths. If you could do that thanks and good luck fishing. Name: wildwing Upper_Red_LakeHope to travel north to url this weekend sometime, have some friends that are taking up some sleepers for Sat. night. They think they know where to go, but I don't think any spot is a "gimmie"...I do know that an empty bucket makes for a long ride home.....JoJo Name: cookie Upper_Red_LakeJust got report from thr greek. they got 22 fish after 10:30 last night.I felt with this bitter cold they would not bite, they must be acclamated to the weather now, 3 guys 22 fish, 25 below zero. Cookie Name: susan Upper_Red_LakeCookie hope i did it right,the other half. Name: Matt Upper_Red_LakeCookie, thanks for trying to get the email through to me, if you get a chance before this weekend this email address will work, i dont know why the other address didnt work. We will be heading up there early sat morning and would greatly appreciate a tip on where to go to have a chance a few slabs of crappies.
