    Fargo ice fishing show

    I will probably go just to check it out. I have already hit 2-Scheels Ice Fests and will be in St Paul next weekend for the big one. And I don't even consider myself a huge ice angler.

    Fishing barometric pressure

    Cats do about the same thing. There is a solid "rule of 4" which is days to get back on track. I have figured out that catfish tend to feed up for a negative event (front) then get out of the current and wait for the negative to pass. When this happens you have to fish slow and in areas where...

    Fishing barometric pressure

    The barometer is the great mystery in which I have my own theories on. During guiding season I don't get to pick when I fish but I have over time figured out a few tricks to dealing with it. In this day and age where you can't seem to find a weather pattern that will stick more than a day or...

    How do you ice fish?

    I prefer to just be outside but wind can say otherwise. If I go inside then its in a portable (either flip over or pop up) One thing I have never liked is door fishing from the truck.

    How to keep little kids occupied?

    3-4 hour trips, lots of snacks and I recommend fishing with tip ups to keep them interested. Did I mention snacks? Take what you think you need and double it, maybe even triple it. Bring 2 or 3 sets of clothes and boots with to keep then dry too. I could not get my boy to si in a shack for...

    Ice Auger Poll

    I have made the jump to electric this week. Over the past 2 winters I have tried the Strikemaster, Ion and KDrill. All were good. In the end I went back to my roots and decided to try the Jiffy E6 the one I have not tried. I have always liked the Jiffy blades. They say the new batteries...

    Ice Fishing Coats

    I have used the I3 since it came out. You have to layer under them but for ice fishing and fall fishing they have been very good. They are not waterproof to fish in rain but I have never been wet in mine. I kick ice holes open until I have huge ice chunks on my legs and have never been wet at...

    BDO on Ice??

    These are my personal favorite to use but they freeze up really bad on the cold days.

    BDO on Ice??

    A variety of Frabill tip ups and maybe a couple home made ones to keep kids interested.

    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...

    Humminbird Fish Smart APP

    I used it to get the Canadian side of the Red River. I thought it worked well for that. I recently bought some of the Devils Lake overlays but have not used them yet.

    UND Hockey starts tonite!

    My impression is the same as last year. Lots of good hockey and nobody that can score which is a frustrating combination. I understand it is a rebuild and I will have my butt in my seat but starting out looking like another long year.

    Your best fish on conscutive casts...?

    About two weeks ago I set a cat line and a guy stuck a 22 pounder on a frog. I threw the same frog right back to the same spot and his kid pulled up a 23 about five minutes later.

    I just have to share this video of my kid

    He is a fan of the Who Would Win books. He was writing his own in his head.

    I just have to share this video of my kid

    I don't get to catfish with my boy all that often so this past Sunday I figured I better take him to Drayton before the season ends. He had not gotten a 20 pounder yet this year so this fish made my whole year. I am very impressed with this kid's ability to fight big fish considering he is 8...

    Kayak Catfish Adventure

    I decided to fight him under anchor so no ride. He fought like crazy, harder than any others this year. Drug that kayak back and forth for a long time before he finally surfaced. Lots of fun still.
