    LEWT Tournament Winners BUSTED!

    This was the most rudimentary way of cheating you could do. What baffles me is everyone is saying they’d been suspected for years and this is the first time the fish got cut open? I haven’t heard 100%, but it sounded like someone had similar sized fish and called BS. Fish usually are...

    Weather apps?

    Windy has made lots of iffy days great on the water with their predictions. And made me stay home a lot of days where I was glad I made the decision.

    How late have you boat fished?

    December 16. Used waders to break a hole for the boat to get into. Well worth the effort too. Thanksgiving is usually the end though.

    Weather apps?

    Searched up old threads but for figured a new thread was probably needed with all the app changes. Does anyone gave recommendations on a good weather app? Weather, wind, sunrise, long term forecast, radar all in one? I use Storm Radar and Windy but am always looking as I’m a weather nerd. Thanks!

    2022 Trail Camera Pics

    Surprised to not see a thread yet. I don't have nice cameras but sure do enjoy seeing what is out there. Don't really use them for hunting other than to get hyped up about the season. My little girl and I make it a once every two weeks to go check cameras, fun time. I'm in different country...

    What was your 1st boat, ever?

    I grew up in a 14' Sears with a 9.5hp Evinrude. In my early working years after college I purchased a Sea Nymph SS175 w/115 Evinrude. I fished in that boat for years and caught more fish in it than anything else I had. Replace the transom, replaced the powerhead, rewired, new livewell hoses...

    Dipsy Divers for Walleyes

    Lead and snap weights each have goods and bads. Leadcore follows the boat path far better than flat lines w or w/o snaps. You can countour troll and lift the lures over structure better than with snaps. They react to speed too, just not as nicely as leadcore does. Snap weights are simple...

    Dipsy Divers for Walleyes

    Yes most of what I have read with snubbers has to do with salmon. I've watched some Ross Robertson videos and he doesn't use snubbers for his walleye setups. I am going to give it a try one day this fall. I always try to set aside one learning day in the fall like that and it's usually pretty...

    Dipsy Divers for Walleyes

    I have two setups ready to try out. Bought a couple Cabelas dipstick rod for cheap a few years back. They’re significantly heavier than my board rods. Would you suggest snubbers if using PowerPro? I am going to experiment and compare to 6 and 8 oz snap weights.

    Sturgis~

    I won’t believe the published numbers but after living in the area for 25 years the numbers of bikes is way way down. It hasn’t been busy all week and is fading as we come into the final weekend. The first folks left and the late goers are here. But not a big rally by any means.

    Sturgis~

    The scourge is here, though I would say numbers are lighter than expected. The canyon is busy, Main Street is full, but not crazy by any stretch. Even saw 4 bikes riding together, 8 dudes total. The world is changing lol! mostly good interactions so far, did get blocked into my parking spot...

    Snap weight clips?

    Thanks for the replies. I am going to get more Scheels clips. The Church ones are easy to take on and off but aren't 100% on staying on. Cabelas seem to come undone pretty easy. The Offshores are nice but I have lost them too. The Scheels clips are good for the $$$ and though they are a bit...

    I need a seasickness solution

    I'd be curious to hear too. My dad has the issue sometimes on the rougher days. I pretty much can't let him look down for too long or he will get sick. Green is no understatement, we were catching fish like crazy in a crosswind of BIG waves several years ago and he was dang near green in...

    Snap weight clips?

    What have you found to be the best snap weight clips? I use PowerPro and the Church clips and Cabelas clips don't slide. But I have lost a few for unknown reasons. I have some Scheels clips but have not used them. The Offshore clips with the pins are nice but are the most costly. Any other...

    Pouch Point Ramp status?

    Can anyone tell me if the Pouch Point boat ramp is useable? NDGF page says not but have heard it might be ok. Looking to fish from a new access point. Thanks!

    Corner jumping court case.

    There is a good Meateater podcast with the hunters on it. Their side of the story is pretty clean. They got the ok from law enforcement multiple times throughout the hunt. They were harassed like crazy but told they were ok until the end. The civil case above is going to be interesting.

    Help with plastics for walleyes....

    I've kinda passed through my phase of plastics this spring with little luck. Now that summer is full on here I'm using other tactics. This fallw when the vertical bite comes on I'll keep plodding along with plastics, and again in the spring. Thanks for the help!

    Lake Oahe

    Absolutely! It's easy to fish the memories, and the memories of the days before the flood are fond to say the least. Like I said, you have a chance at a big, big fish. But the average isn't Oahe of old. One day it'll be back. But catching any fish is still better than a day of work!
