    Tadpole Diving Weights?

    Does anyone use the Offshore Tadpole diving weights? Considering using them off boards to run short leads and reduce tangles. I think only minnowbaits will work as larger lures will trip the mechanism. I’ve used them for crappie trolling before with small jigs with success. Just haven’t...

    MR Crappie in Beaver Bay - south?

    The Oahe crappie boom was certainly mid 2010’s. A few years we caught tons around Mobridge. Now very few. Still a few but very limited.

    Runnings buys H o E

    Poorest snow year in years, 20k sleds, not hard to figure out. And Cat doesn’t make desirable Atv or Utv products so things are tough. Lots of this is coming to the toy market. Alumacraft just dumped 100 plus jobs. Cost of living is catching up.

    Uncut Angling Barotrauma Video

    I don’t have a ton of experience fishing deep. I had a stellar day several falls ago on a lake with crappies and walleyes. We were targeting the eyes in 36-40 feet and catching lots of crappies incidentally. We released both with basically all of them swimming away. Four hours later there...

    Oahe report Mobridge

    Have friends that fished south of Mobridge and did well. Good to see the lake going decent again!

    Applicators license

    I know a few guys that have them in SD who may not be able to tie their shoes. Same type of testing. So having the license doesn’t mean much. I did my private applicator test online in about an hour on my phone drinking beer and ignoring the in-laws lol. Christmas fun!

    Tailrace trout

    Water gets too low and warm for fish to survive being caught. You can only fish early mornings when water is cool, or not at all. Most of the low elevation stuff in MT will be under hoot owl restrictions this summer I’d bet with low runoff.

    Wicked Waters Taxidermy

    Mine went to a full time known business. Three years later I got a call from game and fish to come get my birds. They got so many complaints about slow work they took everything after he fell off the earth. Too bad the freezers had been off and I got a stinky pile of mush. I can honestly...

    Wicked Waters Taxidermy

    What is with taxidermists? Is the work so tedious they can’t handle it full time or make money? I lost a couple nice birds to a guy that fell off the earth. Buddy lost a nice fish to one too and have heard never ending stories like this?

    Kristi Noem Dog Killer

    The best line I’ve read was this- Unfortunately, sometimes to be a hero you have to shoot the dog. But you forever become the villain when you brag about it. Pretty much sums up the what most reasonable folks think. We get that it happens, and needs to at times. But it isn’t something...

    Rain

    MT looks to be getting a decent rain out of this. Maybe a touch more runoff for the big lake?

    Kristi Noem Dog Killer

    Too bad when she met Kim Jon Un she didn’t treat him like Cricket! In all seriousness, she needs to put the shovel down. Many folks think she’s an idiot now, and then she goes on a news show and removes all doubt. Just shut up for awhile!

    Oahe report Mobridge

    Anyone hear if there was much of a smelt run on Oahe?

    Kristi Noem Dog Killer

    An approval rating of 43 percent isn’t quite 9 of 10 and that was before this fiasco. Maybe 9 of 10 males over 50. She’s alienated her own legislature by pushing her agenda and making the whole term about her. Her gaffes go beyond this….meth, we’re on it. The workforce recruitment effort she...

    Kristi Noem Dog Killer

    Did someone at least try to advise her that it was a poor idea to put in the book? Someone had to say something right? The Botox beauty did herself in here, though she wasn’t going to be the VP. Everyone loves to look at her, but I’m ready for a governor who works for the people rather than...

    Drotto adjustment?

    I know a guy who put a new Ranger on the ramp his second trip out. Icy bunks from the day before and an unhooked chain. He still talks about the fiberglass on the ramp after they got it back on lol.

    Drotto adjustment?

    I am going to move my winch tower to try to get the plate a little flatter. Will report back. I always leave safety chain on till in the water. No point in rolling off, have seen that! Never with a bunk though, but have heard of it on a cold day with someone.

    Drotto adjustment?

    Depth of trailer in the water makes little difference. It releases fine. I can't adjust the plate to be any flatter, but working better at a shallower ramp indicates that would be the best option. I haven't rotated my winch tower at all yet, but that may be the next step. That is the only...

    Drotto adjustment?

    If bought new maybe, but it isn’t changing. I’ve loved this trailer and my previous roller compared to the bunk trailer I had. Boat sits level and nice. Latch lines up great when closed, just hard to get to latch.
