    Eating fish eggs

    Took care to remove intact perch egg sacs. Battered and fried them. Looked like hushpuppies... tasted like fried fish eggs. I'll try most things once and once was enough of that.

    I was told the Commerce Department has stated the land is not eligible to be used to secure their grant, presumably for the reasons @Allen noted. Email and/or call the Bismarck City commissioners and Mayor to RESPECTFULLY express your concerns. This is not a done deal and more people advocating...

    Bis to lose boat ramp

    NDGF and other state agencies that should have been involved in this (including some that have legal authority in these matters) were intentionally left out of the discussion by the project organizers. They referenced previous "input sessions" where they invited only friends of the Ft Abraham...

    This should give you an idea what these people, their "public input meetings", and plans for this public land are all about. They started the session by making it clear the only purpose of the meeting was to provide affirmation and validation. Paraphrasing some of the opening statements: "This...

    Well they explicitly state that intention on their website so not a conspiracy theory.

    I called game and fish about this yesterday afternoon and promptly received a call back from a very nice gentleman. This was not a surprise as the few times I've called a warden or fisheries biologist they have always been responsive and willing to talk, and it doesn't work like that many other...

    Ha! Why sell valuable public property when you can give it away for free? I have some big ideas. Maybe they'll "pledge" a $2 million dollar chunk of the capitol lawn to me if I ask nicely. "As part of the application process for the North Dakota Department of Commerce grant, the Bismarck City...

    Bismarck already has one unprofitable concert venue mired in scandal. Let's double down with one that will be useable for about 3-4 months out of the year!

    First public input meeting is 5:30 this evening at Gateway to Science which is convenient as it has an excellent view of the boat ramp with parking lot full of people and boat trailers. If you do not want to lose this ramp then take action. Share info with friends. Attend one of the three...

    Electric hook sharpener

    Anyone have a small battery powered hook sharpener they like? Want something to quickly tune up a hook point on jig or crabkbait while fishing. Looks like berkley and others used to make these but now they are all called "line strippers" with a hook grind stone. Been fishing a long time and...

    The math is simple. -1 boat ramp <100 year flood elevation +1 landslide prone slope They can't even keep river road open and free of landslides. That ice jam and water was damn close to unseating the stowed river boat. Let's spend more money in the flood plain at the toe of a failing slope...

    This needs to be shut down. There were 25 trailers there today when I left early afternoon. Get the word out to the Fox Island homeowners because it will get much worse down there if Meriwether ramp is demolished. The project website says the boat ramp needs to be "relocated". Well then build...
