    BDO on Ice??

    It is looking like Brad Durick Outdoors LLC is going to venture away from the Red this winter and start offering pike trips on Devils Lake. I have had lots of interest just from conversations in the boat over the years so I think I will start to dabble in tip up trips this winter. It seems...

    I just have to share this video of my kid

    Boy's new PB (proud dad moment)

    So a few weeks back a window opened up to sneak up to the Canadian side of the Red so I could actually catch some catfish rather than be the net man. We had a new guy in this operation, my 7 year old boy. He is no stranger to big cats but had never been to that stretch. As far as the fishing...
