    ND fishing lodge. Profit or bust?

    Some interesting insights. I think about it often because I get asked the question so much. In my case land and access is the issue. I am always looking for that perfect spot at the perfect price just in case I could fall into it. I have the clientele now just need the facility.

    Angling Buzz TV Show

    I have been lucky enough to be involved with Angling Buzz since the beginning last year. Of course it will be advertising but it is how people earn a living for good production. This show will be unique because the reports from "experts" are less than a week old when they air. My first...

    Icehouse in the Red-- SI photo

    Here is an ice shack at the bottom of the Red we shot with a Helix 9 the other day. The unit was not dialed in all that well and we still got a pretty good shot.

    Shore fishing the Red River

    Ah yes, 2009 The year that nobody who experienced it will forget. Do you realize that bite has not repeated itself since? I must admit over time you learn where you can and can't cast to stay out of snags. I have gotten pretty good at it all things considered but when you manage 6 lines (3...

    Shore fishing the Red River

    I like that one! This must be the reason I start the year with 300 hooks and hope I have enough.

    Shore fishing the Red River

    REMEMBER: If you aren't snagging in the Red River (especially when targeting catfish) you are not fishing hard enough.

    Humminbird AutoChart Live

    This will be year #3 with Autochart Live for me. My advise is buy the card. (you must have the zero lines card so the unit has a basis to map) Also if you go in someone else's boat or get a new unit your data will come with you. As most here know I fish the Red River which has no maps so I...

    Scheels Catfish University- April 4&5 Grand Forks

    Thanks for the kind words. I just got the surveys back from Scheels and all positive. People actually said the wished it was longer. I find that hard to believe as I thought at about 90 minutes I would be putting people to sleep. Apparently this catfishing thing is catching on. All is well in...

    What is the best day of fishing you've ever had?

    I have been very fortunate to have many great memories and days of fishing, especially with my later start in life. A few that stick out as spectacular 1. My boy when he was 4 learning how to run a tip up and catch pike by himself 2. When the boy and I got into the big catfish bite last fall...

    Hummingbird Helix Questions

    I like my 360 when I am on flat bottom areas. I can see where using it for suspended or fish moving in and out would be awesome. I also think it could be great to see in front of the boat for casting or looking for suspended schools of fish while trolling. Autochart live with the new updates...

    Hummingbird Helix Questions

    I can't add much to what has already been said except for river fishing I find the SI and AutoChart Live to be the two best features to be put in any unit in a long time. The two together have really changed the way I fish.

    Baitcaster guru's

    Thanks for bringing it up. I should break a baitcast out and see if I can throw a smaller lure with any accuracy. I only use baitcast for catfishing and am very good at it but have always found the smaller stuff tougher to throw.

    Scheels Catfish University- April 4&5 Grand Forks

    We can do that if we have enough there. The second night's seminar is mostly new info and I am not planning another University in the area for at least three more years.

    Scheels Catfish University- April 4&5 Grand Forks

    Less than two weeks to go until this unique lesson in catfishing comes to Grand Forks. I just got back from Billings and can say the 2016 version is the best yet.

    Catfish Rod & Reel recommendations

    I would go with a Rippin Lips Medium or Medium Heavy. Both 7'6" They are a solid rod that costs about $40. I use the M most of the time and MH if I am in heavy current or using 5 or more ounces of weight. Reels get what you like. Personally, I like an Abu Garcia or Shimano baitcast. 30...
