    Plans for this weekend?

    We finally have a nice weekend ahead of us. My family and I will be heading to the cabin at Parshall Bay and likely fishing the NewTown river area. I’ll also be taking measurements to build a canopy for the boat. What will you be doing?

    Forum or Social Media Style?

    I am looking into updating the NDA site, and wondering if people would prefer a social media style of rebuild, or if most of you prefer the current forum style? The social media rebuild would be somewhat similar to Facobook, but tailored for the outdoors. Easier for sharing pics, videos, etc ...

    Making your own lure setups

    Does anyone make their own creations? I’m not big on it, but I have always wanted to cast slow death hooks, and I have a favorite brand of slow death, so I was hoping to use that. I found these swivel head jigs (swivel in the jig head), and I swapped the hooks for my slow death hooks that I...

    Walleye Trolling Direction Matters?

    This is something I have been researching, and looking into for awhile. I am curious as to what others think. I have read multiple articles from pros, stating that one key part to being successful with walleye is understanding current, even in a lake. This made me think about how, quite...

    Lead Core

    Do most of you run 2 rods with lead core, and 2 without? 4 with? 4 with and 2 without? I have honestly never used it. I've just never been a huge fan of cranking, but I want to become more proficient in it this year. Running 4 rods with lead seems tough unless a guy uses boards. Correct...

    Does anyone use this app, as opposed to the Precision Trolling app? Is it new?

    Confidence Crank

    If you could only go out there with 6 cranks, and they all had to be the same crank, what would it be? Or, which crank do you throw on first, generally? I don't know why, but the flicker shad 7, clown, is probably my go to. Yours?

    About downtime yesterday

    As you have probably noticed, we had a downtime of approximately 6 hours yesterday. After further investigation and argue with our hosting company, they finally admitted it was their issue. The logs files showed that our server had a background upgrade from some critical server files and that...

    Site Updates

    Recently, I have made some changes and improvements to the site. Some are quite noticeable, and some are unable to be seen. I have done as much of it as I can, myself, and for things I could not figure out, I hired a coder. Updated the main navigation. Increased size and visibility of...

    Fisheries biologists will be tagging walleye on Lake Sakakawea this spring, kicking off the first of a multi-year study. The Lake Sakakawea walleye population is in very good shape right now, with lots of fish for anglers to catch and a very nice size structure. Since we’ve experienced very...

    Tools on the boat

    How many of you keep tools on the boat, and what do you bring? I keep a couple of screwdrivers, a crescent wrench, and a couple pairs of pliers, along with some wire, and tape. When setting up the new boat, I almost said to myself, "it's a new boat, why would I need these?" Then told myself...

    Strictly Sonar: Lowrance/Bird/Garmin

    Strictly speaking about sonar/downscan. Which do you think is the best? I ran Lowrance and Garmin in my last boat. I run a Helix 9 g3n now. The bottom separation on this bird is terrible in my opinion. I am thinking about using that expensive 9 strictly for mapping, and adding a Lowrance or...

    Casting Slow-Death

    I'd like to try casting a slow-death rig into the shallows this summer. I am thinking about buying some jigs like this: Then grinding the hook off, removing that spinner, and replacing it with a slow-death rig (rigged with a 4" Gulp Crawler). I'm not sure if this is the best option. Any...
