    Transducer interference

    Well I'm pretty sure I just went nuts because I'm going to be picking up a sonar for my boat. The reason this is nuts is my boat I'm getting the electronics for is an 8.5 foot sun dolphin. I run the boat with a small minkota tiller and a big marine battery. I'm looking at either the humminbird...

    Lake oahe ice line

    Did anyone on here boat down into the canon ball area or ice fish on the main lake south of there. Just trying to tell if the holes in the ice out in front of beaver are actually holes in the ice not just areas of clear ice.

    What a weird spring

    Is it just me or is this spring messing with your head? You know it's messed up when your surprised to see snow falling instead of rain and when you see a forecast of 38 for a high and you think that's a cold day. What a weird spting.....er...I mean winter. Now looking at possibly mid 60's by...

    Early spring

    Was just thinking about how early we are running and wondering if the honkers are going to try to nest earlier then normal. Not sure if egg laying is triggered by available habitat or amount of sunlight or some combination of both. The reason this struck me is this leaves them wide open to...

    Smelt size

    For those of you who do allot of ice off pike fishing do you notice any advantage to using big smelt vs small? Specifically do you notice a preference for the big girls on the smelt?

    TV recyclers

    Does does anyone know if there is a electronics recycler in the Bismarck Mandan area that does pickups? I know the dump takes them on certain days but this is literally the heaviest TV ever made and it takes all of two guys to move it. With that much metal in it i figured I would see if a...

    No licenses for non landowners

    So I see it's official if you put in for buck in 2E last year you had zero chance of drawing one. There was also three or four units where all the doe tags were wiped out as well. I know gratis tags should take precedent but I don't feel it's right for them to take 100%. At the very least in my...

    Beaver bay ice not long for this world

    Went down to beaver this morning and the ice is deteriorating rapidly. The surface water has sunk through and we are definitely getting into the honeycomb stage. The guys in the main group in these pics say its over 20 inches out there. The guy close up I'm not sure is either ultra ballsy or a...

    Ice jam

    Anybody check out the ice jam in town? Went by there this morning and for ice onl a few inches thick it sure stacked up fairly impressively with some chunks several feet out of the water. A few homes north of pioneer park looked to be surrounded but with plenty of free board. No ice in front of...

    Porcupines in South Bismarck

    Anyone ever see them in south west Bismarck? I've never seen one myself but by the looks of the trees on fox island up to the bow range there must be a fair few of them around. Tons of trees missing bark in that area.

    Superbowl Sunday was the answer

    Well the question was asked around a week ago when the river would break up in Bismarck... well today Superbowl Sunday is the answer. She is in full break up mode in town right now and places like double ditch are wide open bank to bank. With some quite impressive waves I might add! So hopefully...

    Be safe out there

    Was fishing north of wing today and the lake I was on the ice varied drastically from spot to spot. First spot was 18 inches second spot 200 yards away was only 9!!! The warm weather didn't appear to have damaged the ice much so this looks to be just random variations in the ice caused by the...

    Ice thickness

    With the ice so variable from lake to lake this year just wondering what everyone is seeing out there especially in Central ND. Haven't been out in a couple weeks and stuck using the F-250 so going to be fine on some and no way on others. Last spots I was at were on Oahe before the cold snaps...

    Happy over the hump day

    Well I do love to ice fish I still prefer the other three seasons of the year over winter. Yesterday signaled the crossing of the hump and from here on atleast in Bismarck the average highs and lows are now getting warmer every day instead of colder! Still a long ways to go but atleast we are...

    Anyone familiar with this case?

    http://m.bismarcktribune.com/mobile/article_ba89ea3c-d0f9-5e2e-9b16-2d07e35534c4.html So does this mean the state owned the adjacent mineral rights or is the state just more or less stealing the oil instead? If the neighbor is in fact a privately held chunk of mineral rights how does the state...

    Ice House repair

    I have a frabil flip over from the mid 90's so needless to say the fabric is getting a bit fragile. Just wondering if anyone knows of a good way to patch it. Also have a zercom color point graph that the transducer doesn't work and replacement parts don't exist. If anyone knows of anyone that...
