Anyone know where I can get some redtails come September?

I'll be with family near Dorset.

Either somewhere near there or enroute. I'll be taking 64 up from Motley.

Thanks in advance all!!!!

Keep the rods bendin'!!!

STORE. I asked for bait one time in there and they directed me to a house that provides bait to all the bait shops in the area.

There is a bait shop in pillager that carries redtails and creek chubs, I know its a little out of the way but it maybe something you want to check on.

Try Northern Bait Co. in Park Rapids. They do wholesale and retail so they usually have the best bait in the area.

We stopped for bait in Motley Tuesday night at a little bait shop on the south side of Motley on the east side of Highway #10. They had a very nice selection of bait, leeches being the only thing they were short of. They had it all from water dogs to redtails. I think the name of it is "Charlie Browns" or something like that.

Man they were so expensive they were offering a life insurance policy on them. Just kiddin...I think they were about $5-$6 a dozen. Man they had all kinds of creek chubs and some things they were selling I've caught before (when I was a kid on the wing river). Good Luck fishing

Jim W , Charlie browns in motley is the spot for red tails $6.50/dz if your going up hwy 10. It is in motley right after moreys. If you need leeches try to find them before you go I am not sure if you can even find any in the cities. If anyone knows could you post where. Thanks

FYI:
Delaneys in Park Rapids had great "Creek Chubs" last week at $4.75 a dozen. It was a mix of Red & Blue Tail minnows, and they gave you about 30 minows for that price. The size was perfect. However, I don't belive they always have these minnows.

      I've never tried it either but I would given a chance myself too.  I've heard the term "ribeye of the sky" but I'm very skeptical of that.

      Yup widgeon banded in north dakota this spring as an adult. Likely on the migration north 
    • Wanderer
      @Kettle that band - did you get the info on it yet?  Was it a Wigeon?

      I will when I get home and grill them. Yea, they fold up pretty easy, not hearty birds!
    • Kettle
      Pass shoot them between roost and fields, typically farthest shot 40 yards. They don't fly high.
    • rundrave
      can you share some pics of the ribeye of the sky after its prepared?   I really want to try the meat some time and hunt them as well. Is the term falling lawn chair still accurate when you bring one down? lol
    • smurfy
      That sounds good!
    • leech~~
      How do yea hunt um?  Do they come into deks with other stuff, or you sky burst um as they fly over?

      On the South Shore...  Now is prime time to head up to Lake of the Woods (LOW) and the Rainy River as fall fishing is in full swing!  With plenty of limits of walleyes and saugers being caught, and a favorable weather forecast, anglers are enjoying some excellent fishing. Dress for Comfort: With cooler mornings, dressing in layers is essential. Ice fishing gear is ideal for early mornings, and you can shed layers as the day warms. A warm hat and gloves or mittens are also handy. The best bite on the south end of LOW has been in 22-28 feet of water. Water temperatures are dropping and as the temps cool further, the bite has been excellent.    Vertical jigging with frozen emerald shiners remains highly effective. Bring plenty of bait, as you’ll need to sort through some smaller fish, but you’re likely to land keepers as well as larger walleyes. Anglers have also reported good numbers of jumbo perch and occasional pike mixed in with the walleyes. Good Jig Colors: This week’s hot colors have been gold, gold/glow white, gold/chartreuse, gold/orange, and gold/pink. On the Rainy River...  Shiners and walleyes continue to move into the Rainy River, making it an ideal spot for targeting large walleyes. Anglers are experiencing success up and down the river, especially in areas throughout Four Mile Bay.  Walleyes are being caught in various depths, but 15-25 feet of water has been good. Jigging with live or frozen emerald shiners has been highly effective. Some anglers are also trolling crankbaits to cover more ground and find fish. Both methods are producing solid results. Sturgeon Fishing: With cooler days and shorter daylight hours, sturgeon activity has picked up. Catch-and-release sturgeon fishing is open, providing anglers with an exciting opportunity to hook into these prehistoric giants. Up at the NW Angle...  Fall fishing is firing on all cylinders up at the Angle, where walleyes continue to be concentrated around traditional areas with structure. Points, neck-down areas with current, shoreline breaks, and transition zones from rock to mud are all productive locations for walleye right now. In addition to walleyes, anglers are catching pike, jumbo perch, and crappies. Using a jig and minnow is a tried-and-true approach and continues to yield excellent results. Muskie fishing is also hot this time of year, with anglers casting and trolling to find these predators. Big muskies over 50 inches are being caught and released. For those looking to enjoy some fall fishing at its finest, now is the time to head to Lake of the Woods and the Rainy River. With cooling water temps, great weather on the horizon, and prime fishing conditions, it’s a fantastic opportunity to jig up some walleyes and saugers for a fish fry. So, bundle up, gather your gear, and come experience the unforgettable fishing that awaits you up north!
