    Audubon and Smaller Area Lakes - Water Temps

    Sakakawea from deep water to McKenzie was 65-66 degrees today. Ripped Jig-Raps for 6 hours, didn’t catch much until noon, then smacked 7 in 20 minutes and back to nothing. - - - Updated - - - It’s interesting the smaller lakes are about the same temp as the big lake, I expect that’s likely to...

    Audubon and Smaller Area Lakes - Water Temps

    Audubon was 65 today, fishing was slow. We picked up and hit New John’s and fishing was the same there. Water temp was 66 at New John’s.

    Audubon and Smaller Area Lakes - Water Temps

    Just looking for reports of water temps on some of the area lakes such as Audubon and New Johns and/or any others as we move into the fall season and water temps start to drop. Sakakawea was around 68-70 degrees last over the holiday weekend depending on where we were from Shell Island all the...

    I'd try a factory reset on the unit. atleast you'd be able to rule out a setting issue.

    boat trailer tires

    Maxxis or Goodyear Endurance are probably the two best trailer tires on the market right now. I have had my share of problems with towmax, marathon, and whatever came on my boat. Replaced 4 marathons for a set of endurance on my 29 ft steel framed enclosed trailer which has seen several trips to...

    All of mine goes to my wife's uncle who has an oil furnace for his shop and is just a few miles down the road from me.

    Oil Extractors?

    I have 26 internal combustion engines at my house, some that are just a PIA and messy to change oil and some that require extraction (jet ski). I used a small cheapy hand pump for the last several years only on the stuff I absolutely had too because it was slow, just as messy, and generally just...

    Lithium Batteries

    You know, I didn't miss those days until I recently tried it. Just like many on this board and guys you see at the lake, I continually yearned for the biggest baddest machine on the water and over the past 15 years kept upgrading, and upgrading, and upgrading until finally getting into my dream...

    Optimax Issues

    I would look at the fuel system first, so fuel lines and fuel filters. Second would be to check coils and plugs. you may have a weak one that isn't providing enough voltage as the demand increases. The only other easy thing right of hand would be to try a different starting battery. The big...

    used boat prices

    I don't know where you fish but last time I checked my boat always hits the water in May, sometimes in April, and I usually fish till sometime in November. That's eight months when I count on my fingers, lol. If you want to nitpick, how about $60k+ for a snobear when in ND there's no guarantee...

    used boat prices

    Well boys, that's a combination of high demand and ridiculous inflation. And as long our treasury department keeps printing money like drunken sailors and giving it away for free with interest basically at 0% outa the federal reserve, it's not gonna get any better. Unfortunately, sticking to the...

    Upgrades

    I with SDMF, trolling motor for the exact reasons he listed, then electronics. Watch the classifieds, bisman, walleyecentral, etc and you can find both lightly used reasonably easy.

    Tamapa Bay, Fl- Charter Reccomendations

    Single best trip I've ever been on is the Black-Fin Tuna run (specialty trip) with Compass Rose Charters out of Key West. Very Knowledgeable captains, good equipment, and fishing you'd have to see to believe. It's not a cheap trip, they run a 40' sea hunter equip'd with triple 300 Verado's for...

    Tamapa Bay, Fl- Charter Reccomendations

    Not really interested in doing a party boat off shore, That's really not fishing in my opinion. I'm OK paying the price and doing a private charter. Last one we did was a black-fin Tuna trip out of Key West with Compass Rose charters, it was a once in a life time experience. Probably not looking...

    Tamapa Bay, Fl- Charter Reccomendations

    Just looking for anyone that has fished the Tampa Bay area and would be willing to share any references for a good charter / guide service. We're likely looking to do inland/bay fishing as we'll have some kids with us (ages 9,12,15) and looking for a service that has multiple boats so we can...

    Tesla outboard

    How about that, it's almost as quite as my 350 v-rod, lol ;:;rofl. Kidding aside, it seriously sounds a lot like the 6 cyl Supercharged Verado's. I would think the torque factor and the ability to slow the prop down for trolling would appear to be the two biggest benefits. Other than that, it's...

    New for 2021

    It appears were all set short of a tanker load of 91 and about the same amount of Pendelton. Seriously though, all four watercraft are ready to go minus a few minor fixes to the kids new boat and maybe a fresh motor for the golf cart. I had to adjust the valves 4 times last year. Apparently 1100...

    No more messing with the clock in North Dakota

    Sounds about spot on for my household! I feel like I might be minorly more helpful than you, I'm guessing the misses would disagree however. I also prefer Whisky over bush latte's ;:;boozer, lol
