    Helix 9/10.... DI or SI?

    You want it all! Personally, being a Red River guy I use my AutoChart Live maps more than any other feature on the unit. If I am not on a specific pattern and am searching for fish or identifying structure it is SI all the way. I don't even have DI on a quick button I use it so little. I know...

    Midlife crisis? Epiphany? Or am I insane?

    Sometimes it just hits you that a major change needs to be made. I was in the Marketing Industry for nearly 16 years and started guiding for the fun and some extra money. It was never in my mind that it would be my profession. As the guide service started to take off the company I worked for...

    Everyone says they want to go, but never can!!!!!!

    Oh boy can I add to this one. For the record- I HATE FISHING ALONE! Although I will take the boat out by myself. Ice fishing not usually. 1. I have a couple very solid partners who with proper planning are always on. 2. I have an off season and with everyone's life I still have to plan...

    To those that have been on Devils lately

    From what I have seen in my two quick journeys is there is no way in hell I would try to drive a truck or anything with wheels. I don't like being stuck! Not only is the snow deep but I was seeing quite a bit of slush on 6 mile.

    Red River- Ice Fishing Fargo area

    I really don't like being on the river ice and most of the time during the week I am alone so I just don't go because I don't want to be alone on it. With that, up north of Lockport on the Canadian side there are always hundreds of people on the river and they drive all over. I would have no...

    Hot dogs or Smelt

    sorry misread your question until after I posted. I thought you were asking about regular quick strikes. The T style has been nothing but trouble for me. SORRY

    Thermal Tip Ups. Best Brand

    All problems that might concern a person. We use tip ups all the time. I have actually started replacing some this year because they were not worth repairing. I can safely say I own about 50. I personally like the rail style because they are easy to use and the old wood stick style. Thermals...

    Thermal Tip Ups. Best Brand

    Not a big fan of the orange Frabills because you have to push the spool down when you set up and I find them hard to put away when frozen. (The boy got them for Christmas last year so we use them) I am however a huge fan of the black Frabill tip ups. They are set and ready with just a flip...

    Help with Auger Choice

    I have no need for a new auger but am really eyeing electric. Like the idea of Kdrill (have not used one) really like the ION. Like others said the old Jiffy will always be around. My primary Auger now is a Strikemaster Chipper Lite

    Favorite Part of The Catch

    I am partial to it all. These days I don't care so much about catching fish as I do watching my boy's face light up when he gets into one.

    Pike Ninja's ~ Pike tip up strategy ~

    Don't be afraid to put bait right on the bottom and don't be afraid to go shallow. We find numbers of pike on Devils Lake by setting in about 1 foot of water below the ice. Even better when it is near weeds. I see no reason to set for pike before sun up. In my experience they are a crack of...

    Can you imagine finding this....

    I have been unlucky enough to see two find and recover operations in the Red. Horrible sick feeling. You don't go fishing, you go home after that.
