    Durable line for pike infested waters

    I use AFW. It's flexible and ties better than Knot Kinky. I may only get a day out of it though versus a few days with Knot Kinky. I use 20lb fluorocarbon on my spinners. I do loose the occasional one or two rigs a day from pike. Florocarbon sinks in the water. Sometimes this is good...

    Frost depth, how deep?

    NDSU NDAWN tracks soil temps and depths. Bottineau doesn't have much frost. Most other places are frozen 50cm (~1.8ft) down. https://ndawn.ndsu.nodak.edu/deep-soil-temperatures.html

    Ecoboost

    How fast is your motor spinning at 75mph? That small of a motor (3.5L), it'd have to spin much faster to produce the same power of a 5L. I'd think that'd add a lot of wear and tear to the engine life. Anyone have one with 150K miles or 100K miles? I got a new to me pickup 18 months ago and...

    Ford Expedition vs F150???

    Keep the pickup, add a topper with side windows. You can send your kids into the box to get stuff. I'm 34 and my Old Man still sends me into the pickup box to get things. Buy your wife a minivan.

    Custom rod building

    It takes me about 8 hours for a normal summer nothing special rod. It use to be closer to 12 hours, but I have a power wrapper. Ice rods can take 3-5 hours. Sometimes thread doesn't want to hold or walk up a guide foot right. Those nights are for playing video games and drinking beer. I've...

    Lake Trout Anyone?

    I'll be heading up north to Winnipeg for some greenbacks. However, I'm getting a craving for lake trout. Has anyone gone after these? Any tips? If I go, I'm thinking east end of LOTW.

    Have you ever?

    I always keep T.P. in the pickup and boat. Rod holders make a great handle while hanging cheeks over the side. I always keep some immodium in the boat. You pay for it later, but pooping reduces fishing time. I have dropped a digger on a friends ice house before.

    I need expert advice

    I helped out at a 4-H kids fishing camp last summer. We went to McDowell Dam. I spent the afternoon taking laps on the fishing pier taking off blue gills for the kids. Nothing bug, but lots of action.

    Christmas Blizzard

    Not surprised, we had good fog 90 days before Christmas. We'll get hit again early February. I know "there will be precipitation 90 days after fog" is a wives' tale, by it's pretty accurate.
