    Hehn-Schaffer walleye help??

    You can pick up a license at Wal-Mart or baitshop, however neither are close to Gackle. To save time and headache buy it online. You don't need to match colors, sometimes the contrast will be helpful. Black, blue, purple head with a white or chartreuse plastic. Not sure how much experience...

    Need graph advice

    What transducers do you currently have the 83/200 skimmer and the LSS-1? Or do you have the LSS-2? This might determine how I would go about upgrading and deciding what "package" to get from lowrance.

    Hehn-Schaffer walleye help??

    I have never fished it, but have driven past it before. It is one of the few lakes like that that has a fishing Pier. The fact that you will be here in May should be to your advantage fishing from shore. Walleye will either be spawning or post spawn and should be able to be found in the...

    Missouri river snow pack feed?

    I haven't been up there myself, just throwing out a potential factor in the difference.

    Missouri river snow pack feed?

    I would guess the level will have to be adjusted after the 2011 flood if you want to compare water releases to the river elevation at Washburn. The NDGF has said a few times that the flood flows washed out 2' of river bed (not 100% sure on that, but that is what sticks in my head). So when...

    Beaver Bay

    Any reports on the bays (4mile, Porcupine, etc)? Are they open as well or just the main lake? Thanks

    How to Increase Your Arrow’s Penetration with Weed-Whacker Line

    cheap and dirty way of doing it but plenty of better options out there if willing to plan ahead or spend a couple more $$. Many tip inserts have threads on both sides that allow weights to be screwed into the back side. This improves your FOC balance which usually improves the arrows flight...

    Lake oahe ice line

    Was south of beaver on Saturday afternoon. The small bays still had ice. Main sheet was 12-15", the shorelines and shallower areas had ranges and pockets of open water to 10" of ice until you got out on the more stable main sheet. It looked like there was large pockets of open water on the main...

    Smelt size

    Anyone try fresh never frozen, but dead, shiners? I have a creek I can fish them out of (4-7"), keep hoping some creek chubs move in, but all I have gotten in the past are shiners and a few dace.

    No licenses for non landowners

    Archery opens October 1st. It remains open during both Muzz Seasons, however is closed during the shotgun seasons. It closes during the second week of January. This gives the bow hunters the entire month of November to hunt the rut before the 1st season shotgun season opens. Definitely the...

    No licenses for non landowners

    This isn't anything new or different from any other state, I think people in ND just don't have a clue how good it was back in the 2000's. The big game resource doesn't meet the demand. The NDGF and/or the ND deer hunters need to get over the 60-70+% rifle success rates. Increase the...

    fishing the river?

    Well, if any of you were planning to be the first boat on the river this year it didn't happen. Fox is open and someone beat you to it. The river was only iced in for 2 months this year.

    Portable outboard motor options

    Would be my first choice as well, it also has an alternator which will be key if you plan to run an electric motor off of the same battery. Will be a couple pounds over 100. Can't say I have heard bad things about Honda's small outboards, however their larger ones are crazy heavy and dogs.

    Underwater video Camera

    I was about set to buy a Pancam last year, but ended up with the Marcum VS485C. Reasons below... 1.) I was concerned with having to use cell phone to view the pancam. I have dropped 2 past cell phones down the hole, I didn't need something that would potentially add to that problem. 2.) There...

    Too many pike

    How many people do you think would really show up? This has historically been a panfish/bass lake like many of the small reservoirs in the western half of the state. There are dozens of pike lakes within 1 - 1.5hrs drive of Bismarck that are underutilized. I am in favor of balance. - - -...

    most comfy steel toe boot

    I haven't, but might check them out. I have checked a few times in the past to see if they had any composite toe boots, but never saw any. Anyone know if any local places are carrying them? I did find Crispi has a "Nevada Safety" composite toe that I wanted to check out, but couldn't find any...

    Perch Bite?

    I think many people fail to realize how much views the old fishingbuddy and potentially this site can get. Posting a good perch bite in this thread could and most likely will all but guarantee that the lake will not have anything left later this spring or next year. Realistically with social...

    Mountain Lion Lottery?

    Don't have a problem with how its done, but if they want to increase hunting opportunity throughout the year why don't they just get rid of the split season and have a quota for the hounds and a quota for anything else. No lottery, same total quota numbers, and could give some guys a chance to...

    Green Heads

    Without a doubt. Yeah the birds are ugly, but that first week of the season probably has the highest # of birds all season except for a migration day or two in late October and November. Without a doubt the most diverse and spread out. There have been plenty of years that I noticed quite a bit...
