    Grand forks Fishing

    GF is open from the dam as far as you can see to the north. I would guess a half mile at the very least. There is still lots of ice above the dam but I suspect 3-5 days and that will be about gone too. GAME ON!

    Pike Video from December

    Here is a video my buddy Loren Keizer and I shot back in December when we took our three boys pike fishing. I wish we could have filmed more fish but three boys under the age of 7 can be a handful on the ice. ENJOY https://youtu.be/t8uj-dhuepU

    I'm sure it is like the rest with very poor maps but it does run with the lakemaster chips. I used the 788 for many years with the chip in it. Good little unit

    Best Tip ups

    I am a huge fan of the Yellow Frabill Arctic Fire tip ups. Very solid for the money. I have been using thermal tip ups a lot the past couple years. I much prefer the black ones to the orange ones due to an easier operation.
