    SB 2183- Ease Sucker Importing Restrictions

    Mr. Reddeviloutdoorsman, I know who you are and I know you take anything I do personally and now you are attacking me specifically. When I sat with the sponsoring legislator I flat out said that it was my wishes for any angler to buy suckers and be able to bring them over the border. I was...

    SB 2183- Ease Sucker Importing Restrictions

    I have a vendor license but it does me not good to bring suckers from MN. I tried the trapping thing last year but just did not have the time to make it work.

    SB 2183- Ease Sucker Importing Restrictions

    Yes but demand far exceeds their ability to supply. We have one trapper in ND who does his best and one in MN who has never produced a sucker to the Grand Forks area. (Fargo maybe)

    SB 2183- Ease Sucker Importing Restrictions

    Its not that easy. First off we don't need a MN license to launch on the MN side. What we don't have is MN access in the right areas to pull that off. There is only one access north of the GF dam on the ND side. There are no MN accesses in the Drayton or Pembina areas. This is only about...

    SB 2183- Ease Sucker Importing Restrictions

    It is a big deal! Freezing bait changes the biology and makes at certain times of year makes cutbait for catfish useless.

    SB 2183- Ease Sucker Importing Restrictions

    SB 2183 is being heard next Thursday. This is a bill allowing Eastern ND bait dealers who have a Sucker permit to bring suckers over the border from MN without restriction. This is currently legal if a wholesaler has a ND permit and ND approved bait ponds. There is only one wholesaler and he...

    New PB Pike

    I could not agree more. Every year I add another outdoor skill and turn him loose on it. I see his frustration and have to remind him that he needs problem solving skills. I think it is a disservice to kids to not force them to figure it out. As far as this particular pike goes he has caught...

    New PB Pike

    Yesterday we were out checking a pike spot that was great years ago but has pretty much sucked the past two winters but I wanted to know. Everything started out slow but picked up mid afternoon. I was dealing with my buddy and a nice catch when I saw a flag behind me go up. I told my boy to go...

    tipup alternatives...

    I Fish Pro is fun to use but they suck to carry around. too big to fit in a pail and they don't ride nice in a sled.

    Lithium Battery for flasher

    Ice fishing boots

    I was talked into these at the same sale. I have had them out three times so far and have been very happy. I like my mucks but after a day on the ice my feet hurt with these I don't get the sore feet.

    Take a Kid Ice Fishing.

    I get it and it is sad that one has to be concerned about "other issues" to take a kid out fishing. I get his plight being a guy who didn't start fishing until his early 20s. I probably have some old gear laying around I could send up. Keep working on the getting him out part. Maybe we will...

    Ice Auger

    I held out for a couple years on the move to electric. Ultimately I recently went with the new Jiffy E6 because I wanted the chipper blade. I used an Ion a lot two years ago and it worked very well but again I wanted the chipper. The K Drill is great (loved testing it) right up until I talk to...

    Hak's Flyer days numbered?

    I think he will be gone before next season but one thing to consider if you are the best coach in the world and your goal tending sucks you can't win. Just look a Chicago last year.

    Sun glasses

    I got Costa this year and love them. I'll probably be getting a backup pair sometime before spring. I understand Costa is half price on their web site and at Scheels today.

    REALLY? When did you fish? Seems like we are always dropping to 29.7 and back up any more.
