    Alaska Trip

    Dad is retiring at the end of the school year, after 34 years in an 8th grade classroom. We are thinking of taking him up to Alaska, sightseeing and fishing. Time would be early to mid June. Couple of us might make the drive up and couple of us with less time would fly in and out. I know...

    PINK musky baits

    Does anybody know of any pink musky baits? I've never gotten into musky fishing and a quick search hasn't shown much for pink baits. 1000's of baits and pretty much no pink. My dad is heading to Reindeer lake in SK mid July to fish big pike. The guys he is going with say pink has...

    Clearwater Lakers 2019

    From recent reports there is still 36" plus of ice on the lake and travel is easy. So the trip is still on. We will be leaving the night of the 21st and getting back on the 28th. Seems weird to be ice fishing this late, but hoping for some nice weather and big trout. Have a bunch of spots...

    Work Boots

    Ah tis the season....in the market for a new pair of boots. Have worn ariats the last 4-5 years, maybe its time to try something new. I've never owned a pair of Red Wings. If I die tomorrow, will my life be incomplete without owning a pair of Red Wings?

    Moving out of state and hunting licenses

    So as life goes on, my family and I might be moving out of state. My wife is waiting to hear back from Veterinary schools, but I have a feeling regardless of acceptance or not she is ready for a change of scenery (milder winters). If this does happen, it would be later in the summer, late...

    Pouch Point/Shell Island area

    Anybody fish this area? Independence Point too for that matter. Interesting looking area, I've never been down there. I'm starting to think I've been looking at the lake maps too much lately haha. Be fun to try spearing out on Shell island.

    Thumbs up to DROCK ice center!

    I blew up a couple gears in my strikemaster last saturday. Sunday I tore it apart to ID what parts I needed. Ordered parts online mid morning on Sunday. Right away Monday I got an email saying order had been shipped. Yesterday everything was waiting for me when I got home from work. Put...

    East end of Sakakawea

    Does anybody here fish the far east end of Sak? Is the ice sketchy in that area? Talking about the area between snake creek pump station and mallard island. By the looks of Navionics, there is a ton of structure around there. I'm hoping to get down there and scout around with the...

    Sakakawea Walleyes- middle of the day

    Does anybody have consistent success catching walleyes on Sak during the day? It really seems like its strictly a morning and evening bite, little to no action during the day. Only time we had success was right before a front moved in. Wondering if it would be feasible to try fishing them...

    Montana Ski Resorts

    My wife and I have to make a trip out to Pullman, WA late January. We want to make a little vacation out of it and want to do some snowboarding. Anybody have experience at any resorts out there? I hear a decent amount about Red Lodge and Whitefish, but not much about anything else. It...

    Lithium Battery for flasher

    Somebody mentioned using a Dakota Lithium battery in the ice electronics thread. Does anybody else use a lithium other than the marcum shuttles? Looks like the Dakota lithium is 99$ on amazon. Same size as a typical SLA battery, but around 4lbs lighter. The weight savings would be great...

    Trapping Minnows

    Is it legal to trap and use those same minnows on Sakakawea? Really considering getting a trap and trying to catch some smelts under the ice. They wouldn't be transported off sakakawea or sold at all.

    MN Rifle Season

    Anybody hunting MN this year? I always go back for 6-7 days every year. This year splitting time between opener and 2nd weekend. Saturday 5 of us saw 38 deer total, then Sunday and Monday morning combined we saw 8 deer. Kind of weird for them to just disappear like that. For the first...

    Underwater Camera

    Finally going to break down and buy one. Borrowing my BILs up on Clearwater last year and watching all the lake trout was an absolute blast. He has a Marcum VS485, worked well, I didn't have any complaints really, other than it didn't have a good way to position the camera and rotate it...

    Charging flasher batteries

    Might be a dumb question, but does it work to charge flasher batteries from a deep cycle battery? Can I just connect using alligator clips on both batteries? I have a big deep cycle in my skid house that is charged by solar. Deep cycle seems like it is always fully charged. So if the deep...

    How to pinpoint the "X"?

    Still fairly new to goose hunting. As far as I understand, the last spot the geese were the night before is their preferred starting point the next morning, AKA the X. So when out scouting, how do you pinpoint the X? Some fields it seems easy as there might be a slough or some feature in...

    Wifey tagged out

    My wife has put in a good amount of time hunting already this year and it paid off Saturday morning. She had 3 bucks come by and was able to make a great shot on this one at 30 yards. Her biggest to date.

    Catch cover saftey cover

    Does anybody have these in their fish house? I've been looking at them, seems like a good idea, but not sure if they get in the way of fishing? Or get in the way of a transducer cord? Maybe just use them on the holes with set lines and keep the jigging holes open? My oldest boy is 2.5 and...

    Humminbird Auto Chart

    Anybody use the auto chart? Does it work well? We talked a lot about it on our recent trip up to Canada where there aren't any contour maps. My dad is in the market for a couple new graphs this off season and if the auto chart works well, we will get units capable of it.

    How deep for big walleye on Sak?

    At what depth have your biggest walleye came from through the ice on Sak? What time of year was it? I would say I am still very new to fishing Sakakawea. 2 years ago I put in a ton of time out on and around Douglas bay and found a good amount of eater size fish, 13-17", but never really found...
