    Boat layout choices

    I have had the bubbles both single and dual. I will say that I loved it for the room. When I was in my 20s and bought those boats they were for speed and space with the money I had. Now that I am in my 40s and not as willing to go out no matter what. Now that I don't like to get wet I give...

    A guy snags pike + walleye

    Over the years I have seen it happen to a buddy of mine three times. On the third I was saying I would like to experience it sometime and within five minutes my six year old is screaming FISH ON WHAT DO I DO? I said reel then realized he had about a 15 pound pike on his walleye and he was just...

    Frabill Side Step Portable

    you can read my previous post on the topic. I have the Ambush which is now out of the rotation. That rod trunk seat looks like a cool deal. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the side steps.

    What Do you Want to Learn?

    This was the approach to catfish I took years ago. Learn everything I can about the fish and how they act and react. It was an interesting a very rewarding topic of study that has paid big dividends for me. Match that with today's technology and BOOM.

    What Do you Want to Learn?

    The favorite species thread that Still Learnin started is a great one. I am always trying to learn something and would hope everyone else on here is too. What technique or lesson in fishing are you planning to learn or improve on? For me, I am always trying to come up with some new edge or...

    Fishing---Why is XXX species your favorite?

    What a great thread. As just about everyone knows on here, I am a catfish guy. I will admit that I just like to catch fish, I have a place at Devils Lake so I chase my fair share of walleyes too but catfish are my true love. I will tell you how I got to this point. I was brought up on a farm...

    Raising kids.....

    I would like to think I am raising a good kid. I try to push him to think by himself. I grew up on a farm and was outside goofing off with thing all the time. In hind sight it was mostly nothing but it taught me to problem solve and think for myself even though it was not right. I keep trying...

    KXMC

    I'm sure it is more corporate cutting. Why finance two stations when you can get away with one and a half. Just look at what WDAY has done to WDAZ. They stripped it clean and now are not even on Directv. They can barely put together a news cast and what they do have is hard to watch. It is...

    2016- A record breaker

    As this big cool off comes in this week the time has come to shut down the guide service for another year. Of course I will still play around with the kitties some but it is official over for 2016. It was a year of records. Of the five categories I keep I broke three of them and did it with...

    Business Credit Card

    For what you describe I think you have a plan. I have a Cabelas card for personal and Scheels for business. Makes my life so much easier for book keeping.

    making your own lake maps with Lowrance

    makes sense. Here are two screenshots of river maps I have done. The zoomed out one took about 15 minutes to make and the smaller about 5. For what I do this was a game changer.

    Catfish Tag #011618

    Yes it does prove that CPR works and that trophies can be caught more than once. I am sure I will be turning out articles sighting this study in the off season. So much great info coming from this.

    Catfish Tag #011618

    Over the past few years I have found myself entranced in the catfish tagging study on the Red River being conducted by the University of Nebraska and Manitoba Fisheries. There have been over 13,000 catfish tagged since late 2012 mostly on the Canadian side of the Red to study movements. I...
