    Is ice season done?

    I was out on sakakawea on Monday night. The edges are slightly starting to open, the ice on the main lake is getting soft for the first 6-10 inches then it is fairly solid. I would not go over to any shorelines. It will be interesting to see what happens this year since the corp has not dropped...

    Pike. It's what for dinner

    I boil pike in onions and celery for three minutes add butter and garlic salt, sprinkle it paprika and broil it for three minutes. It tastes similar to baked cod. When my wife is in one her heath kicks it is high protein meal and I can eat and actually like it. Pike is around 38 grams per 8 oz.

    Lake Winnipeg ice is F'd

    I cannot imagine the ice being any rougher than the packed down snow trails. I spend money fixing my truck, before and after every trip.

    lasik/prk surgery

    I had this problem myself. Two weeks of healing if I remember right. I had the darkest sunglasses I could find plus cataract glasses to watch tv. Then a long time before seeing well. Wetting drops by the gallon. Checkups they would freeze my eyes and it was a moment of heaven from the pain. With...

    Smelt size

    I have used 12-14" round sardines from the grocery store. They work well in the spring, when they are on scavenge mode. You would think it would take a huge pike to swallow one of those, but a five pounder eats them without any problem. Sometimes I think location and presentations is more key...

    I went last year, with a guide and a employee of pelican lake tackle co. I caught bigger fish in Sakakwea the weekend before. I had a good time with good people. Your not guaranteed to catch big fish, but your odds are better. That been said I am going back in February on my own. This time...

    Ice saw for spear fishing

    Fishes are the best but I own a Nills it works well to . Two feet of ice is max for either. I still drill two hole when the ice is thinner, up to six when it's thicker. A ice auger works just as well but a lot more slush. I fish Sakakwea and it barely gets three feet on a cold year so they work...

    spear fishing...

    Every lake is different every year. To start a couple decoys ( pearch, small pike, red and white decoy would work most places) sometimes a daredevil or something flashy works. Use a heavy Dacron line with a heavy swivel, or you will have to repurchase these. I purchased a Lako spear at first...

    Walleye Taste vs Northern Pike Taste?

    I agree they are cumbersome to clean. The black nitryl gloves you can get at a automotive store are great, so is a rubber squeegee, to des lime. I typically fillet all of them first, rinse everything, then debone. I can clean a limit in about a hour and a half, twice the time as walleye but...

    Walleye Taste vs Northern Pike Taste?

    Remove the dark meat if you don't like the taste. Boil the northern with some celery and onions for three minutes and sprinkle papareka and garlic butter on them and broil for three minutes. It reminds me of baked cod. Nice thing about pike, nobody cares if you pull a ten pound pike out of the...
