    Lake Winnipeg reports?

    Anyone fishing it? I just registered as a Co for all 3 events, first time for me. Anyone have any experiences to share/tips or what to look forward to? Hoping to learn as much as I can to step into tournament angling.

    Let's talk drill/composite auger setups...looking for experiences

    So I think I'm going to hop on the battery auger bandwagon this year. The pro's are getting hard to ignore, and battery technology continues to improve. I was pretty set on getting the Ion G2, but after getting a chance to use my buddy's Strikemaster Lite Flite/Fuel drill combo this weekend...

    New gear for 19-20 ice season

    Let's talk about new gear coming out for this season! I'm thinking it might be time for me to make the switch to a battery powered auger, eyeing the new Ion G2...but that price tag is pretty steep. The new strikemaster lite flite bit looks promising too, plus I've heard strikemaster has...

    Few of us heading to Ft Peck to chase lakers at the end of the month...never done it before. Our plan just from watching some youtube videos was to pull cranks along the shoreslines near the dam/spillway. Anyone have any tips/info to share?

    Winches - What do you trust out on the ice?

    Had a very eye-opening experience at LOTW last weekend, hit a slush pocket about 5mi off shore. Luckily we took my buddy's can am defender and remembered to throw the recovery bar in the box. The front right track fell through into about 1.5ft of water under the snow. We were finally able to...

    Who's starting to get geared up for ice fishing?!

    Well, sold my boat last week, so with that gone I'm really starting to get the ice fishing itch. Getting the Ranger out this weekend to start doing the maintenance, and I think I'm going to put power steering in it this year to help with the tracks. Who else has a to-do list for pre-season ice...

    Hydrofoils - One brand better than another?

    Looking at putting a hydrofoil on my Yamaha 150. Looking at either a Bob's Machine Shop one or Cobra Edge pro. Have also seen permatrims that have gotten pretty decent reviews. Then there are the cheap-looking plastic ones they sell at Cabelas. Anyone have any thoughts on if one brand/design...

    Sturgeon on Rainy River

    Who else has hooked into one of these pre-historic monsters? Up at Rainy on Tuesday/Wednesday for some walleye action, and hooked into what I thought was a snag at first....until it started pulling line...lots of line. Chased the thing around for around an hour, and managed to boat it! 65"...

    K Drill on a propane power head?

    Wondering if anyone here has tried a kdrill bit on their gas powerhead? Got rid of my 10" bit for my eskimo propane, going to go to an 8" bit. I have a strikemaster chipper bit on there right now, but I think the eskimo head turns too slow for a chipper blade as its a pretty slow cut...

    This weekend on Devils...

    I gotta get the boat out Saturday, high of 64deg and 5mph winds is too nice to not fish. Anyone have any tips? Was out 2 weeks ago and couldn't find a damn thing jigging the bridges and pulling cranks in about 10-15ft of water up in creel bay. First year I've really made an effort to fall...

    Dealer recommendations for a kicker?

    Looking to get a Yamaha kicker put on my boat along with a trollmaster controller. Not super excited about revolutions up here in GF and not against driving to Fargo or Devils Lake to have it done. Any good recommendations? I've called around to a couple places, all are pretty close in price...

    Any good reviews/suggestions for LotW guides?

    Hey everyone, been a lurker here for a while, but finally had a question that needed asking. Looking at doing a guided trip to LotW end of Feb, and I've never been up there before. Currently looking at Arnesons right now, but would like to hear others experiences and suggestions. Most likely...
