    How is ice fishing going?

    How is the ice season going for everyone? I have been out a handful of times, and pleasantly surprised with the results on each outing. Some of the lakes are tracks only, now, but the fishing has still been good. I haven't been on Sakakawea, yet, so that is a current goal, and looking forward...

    Site Down

    I apologize for the site being down, for half of the day, today. It was an SSL certificate issue, but I did not notice because I was out fishing. Things should be fixed, now.

    Limit lakes for guides?

    I had a discussion with a couple of buddies about how guides can quickly deplete an abundant prairie pothole lake. One guy suggested that guides should only be allowed to operate on the big waters: Sakakawea, Missouri River, Red River, Devils Lake, etc… One guy suggested that guides should be...

    Fireplace for ice shanty?

    Is this a thing now? Like, a trend? Seems like a lot of extra effort to me.

    Sak Jig and Minnow - New Town area

    Kirk and I decided to take advantage of the nice weather and get out on the lake. We put in at the casino ramp. The water temp was 47.9 when we got on the water, around 10:00 am and was 50.8 (surface temp) when we quit in the afternoon. We started by checking the Beacon area, but didn’t see...

    The Progression of a Walleye Fisherman

    I am curious to know what your progression as a walleye fisherman has been. I think it will be fairly similar for most, but maybe I will be surprised. For me, I started out pitching daredevils and jigs as a kid, but never mastered either at that point. Later in life I ran a lot of bottom...

    Your 1st guns?

    Not including bb guns. What was the first rifle you ever shot? The first shotgun? Also, what was the first gun you ever bought for yourself? Remington 30/30 was the first rifle I ever shot. I think. Man, I cannot remember if I shot a .22 before that or not, now. First shotgun was an 870...

    Sak Jigging Rap - Fall Walleye

    I met Brett at Deepwater for a day of fishing. I think we got to fishing at around 9:30, and quit at around 2:30. We ran jigging raps on Shell for the entire duration, and had a good ole time. The water temps are down to the 64 degree range. We caught most of our fish on a blue jigging rap, in...

    Sak 9/5 Sakakawea

    Fishing the hook. We found fish in the early morning, in 6-10 fow, pulling cranks. Nice fish, in the 18-19" range. After that, we went out to Shell Island and ripped jigging raps for awhile, and had success fishing the river side. Water temps are starting to drop. Looking forward to the fall bite.

    The "Off-Beat" forum

    The site now pulls pics from forum threads and posts them into the "Pics" and "Recent Pics" areas of the site. Because of this, I have created an "Off-Beat" forum for general discussion threads that have pics that are not necessarily suited for these areas, or if you simply want a thread that...

    Are high dollar lures worth it?

    I was having a conversation with a fellow fisherman, and we got on the topic of high cost lures vs "cheap" lures, and if there is really much difference, other than the increased cost for the marketing of said lures. For me, I look for certain features, for instance, for jigs I like a good wire...

    Who is waterfowl hunting?

    Who is waterfowl hunting this weekend? Growing up, this was my favorite hunt, by far. I regret that I have not done it for a handful of years. I always seem to be busy with kids/family stuff, or fishing this time of year.

    Broken collarbone

    My middle child broke his collarbone in a football game this evening. At least it looks that way. We are still waiting in the ER. I told my oldest that there is no reason to play football until about your sophomore year. It stuck with him and now he runs x-country instead, but it didn’t resinate...

    Tow hitch disaster

    This legitimately is my mindset every single time I pull someone out. x10 if it is with a chain.
