    Question on jigs

    If your refering to something to do at home I use a small drill bit and drill them out. This is with jigs that I make with powder paint and cook in the oven. Regular store bought jigs you can use what was mentioned above but over baked powder paint is as hard as a rock. A small drill bit...

    Montana Launches Hunting Ethics Campaign Following Conflicts Last Season

    Not condoning or agreeing with the actions of the hunters but to me it is funny how big of fuss is raised when so called hunters/idiots do such things but when outfitters and landowners illegally post or scare wildlife back on their land to limit the success of DIY hunters little if nothing is...

    alberta fires

    These damn fires! At noon today in Minot no trace of smoke. At 3pm started to see some haze and could smell the smoke. The haze is increasing as I type this. I hope the hell it goes out soon. Last summer sucked we had over a month of smoke. I sure wish we could get a pattern of any wind...

    Official NDA Guide to Mountable Fish Lengths

    Not big into pan fish but one of the first fish my daughter caught with a little help from dad was a 13 inch black crappie that was in the spawn mode and super pretty so I got that mounted. Walleye 12lbs but broke my rule and have a 11lber on the wall. 44" pike and have a 46" on the wall...

    South of Grano

    3 things I think they maybe from. 1. basketball size rocks that stuck up a few inches of the bottom and during the flood of 2011 the extreme current washed the mud out around the rock. 2. Turtles made the depressions to hibernate in during the winter. 3. Depressions made by bullheads (not...

    ND Musky

    The Mcklusky Canal system has Musky through out its system. If you like big slimmers and wish to catch a fish every 20 casts instead of 1000. I would recommend you target pike. We have much bigger pike in ND than MN and WI. As you may have seen in a recent pic/article a 51 1/2 inch pike was...

    Blues vs. Blackhawks

    Everyone has their own conspiracy theories regarding sports. Not sure I believe any of them but man I swear the NHL wanted the Blues to win this series. Game 7 the refs blew at least 3 blatant penalties against the Blues by not calling them and calling questionable penalties against the hawks...

    Good Map/Source of info on Lake Sakakawea???

    Scenic wise I think the stretch from Pouch Point to the New Town Bridge is the best on the lake. What is the size of your boat? My concern is that you never have been on Sak before. Depending on your boating experience I would not recommend long boat rides on Sak with anything less than 18ft...

    Last night I was thinking about fishing, as I often do...

    Well at least now I know I am not alone in my crazy addiction with fishing. I rarely go a couple hours at a time with out some sort of a fishing thought entering my mind. My old man got me into fishing and we still fish together, not on every outing but most. It does pay to give kids the...

    Fish switching to summer mode

    Was a big bug hatch yesterday with the sunny day warmer temps. I imagine that triggered all the bait fish and panfish to move towards the shallows and surface. Hopefully this 60 degree weather can hang on to push the water temps up on the bigger waters.

    Sioux hockey starts now!!!

    UND is very lucky they won that game. They were out played for all but maybe 10 minutes of the game. I see they still have there issues with the D-man being slow and backing up way to far in the neutral zone. You could tell the forwards got tired after killing the penalties and doing the work...

    Motion lures

    I've tried them last summer. Did not work at all. I did not try them more than a few hours all summer but never did get a hit on them when I was getting bites on other stuff. Surprised me that it did not work. They may work for salmon but I had no luck for walleyes with them. Going to give...

    I have used them for a couple summers with limited success. I did get a few of the new smaller ones to see if they will work any better.

    marine batteries

    For a starting battery in the boat do you have to use a so called marine starting battery? I am looking for a group 27 starting battery and I can't find any other brand than the interstate.

    2016 Lake Sakakawea Land Transfer

    Back in the late 80s the Tribe charged to access Sak around New Town. People complained enough that the state got involved which put pressure on the Corp leading to the Tribe being told they could not charge for access or fishing licenses. For many years now you don't need to have a tribe...

    Rod for pitching jigs

    I am a fenwick fan. I bought a 7'2" elite tech, medium power with fast tip. They are $150. Super light and sensitive. I bought it mostly for jigging but also use it sometimes for live bait rigging and it does a great job. Every rod I use for pitching jigs is 6'10" or longer. Besides...

    2016 Lake Sakakawea Land Transfer

    Basically what this means is that currently there is a ring of land around Sak to the waters edge that the Corp currently manages and is responsible for. The Corp wants to turn this land back to the private sector. Meaning the land portion of Sak that is not in the reservation would go to the...

    Mountain Lion Meeting in Fargo tonight, who's going?

    The game and fish wanting a sustainable lion population in ND is the same as the feds wanting to introduce wolves in the lower 48. The ultimate goal nowadays coming from Washington (the federal boys) is try to establish ecological systems that are self sustainable that mimic presettlement days...

    Mountain Lion Meeting in Fargo tonight, who's going?

    This kind of crap proves that most everyone that call the shots in State Game and Fish, Department of Natural Resources across the country and the Feds are tree huggers and view hunters as a nuisance. There dream is to try to put ecosystems back to pre-settlement and take the hunter out of the...
