Can you ice fish the Pond at the G&F headquarters? Might be worth a look

For the big kids over 21 I keep them entertained with hot 100 schnapps. Turns out to be entertaining for me as well

Is it just north of Wing? I have not heard of it. i have been to Wing but do not know that area well.

12 miles or so. past the big curve. game and fish has directions. last year the access was tricky as it is from a road ditch which I'm assuming is blocked. however we fished within walking distance of the main gravel road and caught constant little stunted perch and a handful of 11" walleyes.

Yes, just catch and release. Not sure if there's much left in there by this time of year...

Just some friendly advice for the new comer. If you take JohnR's advice and fish at McDowell, don't post the pics of your fish slaughter on Facebook for all to see

The best way to get an 11 year old into ice fishing is to have a tip-up spread out. He will love chasing flags if they are biting, if not he can dink around on the tablet or phone while waiting and eating junk food. Get the polar ice braided tip up line, 2 feet of mono 20 lb test to attach to that then a quick strike rig (two treble hooks) holding a frozen smelt. Put the smelt anywhere from 3 feet below the ice and a foot off the bottom.

Lots of good lakes to catch pike around Ashley/Wischek.

What is this tablet and phone you speak of? Dang we are quick to revert to electronics now a days. Bored, you say son? Here try fishing with this? I brought a football...go play with that. etc etc.:;:stirthepot

Sorry for the bad info. I live in Minot and grew up fighting 10 foot waves on Devils Lake.

I would like to help you but I gave a expert fisherman from NDA advise about where to fish today. One of the spots I have been doing good on and he got skunked. So I'm a bad guide or he's a bad fisherman#$%^&>

Guiding without a license?????

Guiding without a license?????

If telling a friend where I have been catching fish is guiding I'm guilty. Would you like my local wardens number so you can call me in. I'll be happy to give it to you.

Went out to Alkali/Etta with tip-up we caught two Pike both 27". We had six or seven get away we would try to set hook early or late. First time I've fishing so I think I did OK. I will learn from my mistakes.
