    Advice from someone who actually HAS real world experience with the topic of concern should be taken with a much smaller grain of salt than someone who just THINKS they have real world experience with the topic of concern.

    Flying with a fishing rod and camping equipment

    I bought rods specific for traveling that weren't as expensive as my custom ones. My custom rods were one piece so I couldn't travel with them and the extra baggage costs to put them in the hold just sucked. So I opted to try to ship rods to the location prior to leaving such as the hotel. It...

    Bucktail jigs

    Amazon delivers in a couple days as do many online tackle building sites. The ice hasn't fully come off so you have some time right now to order exactly what you want and tie to your hearts content. I've done it in Idaho when I was there for a week. I ordered stuff for next day delivery and...

    Golf Cart Questions

    Thanks for the info db. I don't quite understand why it's so unbelievable that ranchers would use golf carts for simple jobs within a few miles of their ranches. Then again, I don't live in the more rugged western ND pastures. It's pretty flat and rolly here.

    Alaska fishing and site seeing???

    I would rent a car in Anchorage and then find a halibut charter beyond the Kenai river. Seeing the turquoise water of the Kenai is truly a sight and the drive to get there is spectacular. Plan on dealing with LOTS of black flies while there in June. I mean SWARMS of them. So many that moose...

    Golf Cart Questions

    Many of the cattle ranchers around here are running golf carts to check on cattle, fences, and other chores. The ease of maintenance and lack of petroleum usage seems to make it attractive. Most put the heavy tires and a lift kit on it and then haul stuff around the yards instead of using the...

    Golf Cart Questions

    I'm looking at getting an electric golf cart to putz around the surrounding 5 miles in, but know next to nothing about their durability, range, speed, upgradability, etc. etc. etc. It will be used mostly on gravel roads, but I don't know if they will hold up. I can read specs, but there is no...

    If someone offers you a contract, it's for THEIR benefit because if the contract was for YOUR benefit, you would have offered it to them.

    Finally getting nice out

    Three things MUST be present at the same time for me to feel comfortable saying spring is here. One, Robins! Two, Mourning Doves! Three, Wood Ducks!

    Anyone know where this is ?

    His opening shot is at the first bridge downstream of Baldhill Dam on Lake Ashtabula. There is a public access and parking lot on the upstream side of the bridge as you can see the wooden boundary markers sticking out of the snow. Been there many times and caught LOTS of muskies there. Most...

    Flooding???

    The hills in the Sheyenne river valley by Valley City are about half melted of snow today. Just a bit in the trees and deeper ravines, but one more day of 40's should hammer what snow is left pretty good. The ice hasn't even broke up on the Sheyenne here and there is just a trickle of water...

    Finally getting nice out

    Snow melted real fast yesterday and I spent the day drinking beer, getting a sunburn, and pumping water to keep my garages dry. Today.......same thing, only I get to start earlier. Not a bad way to spend some time in early spring IMO.

    So, If gas hits 5 a gal this summer...

    I guess Florida is/was a bit different. 3 guys had their WWII weapons stolen from breakins and the guns were all that were taken. One M1 carbine, one luger, and one tommy gun stick mag. Tons of other valuables in the house, but nothing else taken. Not even cash on the nightstand in one case...

    So, If gas hits 5 a gal this summer...

    Just a thought on insurance for firearms. It's real easy to hack/aquire insurance information and find out who has what guns. It's not that uncommon for thieves to break into houses just for the guns. It happened all to often while I was stationed in Florida. Insurance policies are a "Poor...

    Wile E Coyote

    Good News LB. Glad you're OK. I'd sure hate to have to miss them yummy dirt babies you and your lovely bride produce every year. Stay on the mend my friend and I'll keep praying for an early spring. Maybe We'll get lucky...... Prayers sent for a fast and full recovery.

    Something New for The Tailrace?...

    When speaking of my personal "tackle" I prefer to use the metric system. So I'm packin' 10. Thanks!!

    The whole current administration reminds me of the story of the kindergartner that promises free ice cream to their classmates if their classmates vote for them. Instead of ice cream, we have $300 gas vouchers. LOL!! WHAT A GONG SHOW!!!!!

    Something New for The Tailrace?...

    Nothing new. For shore fishing, put a white 7 inch fluke on a 1/2 oz ball jig, cast it upstream at a 45 degree angle, and let it sink. The fluke sinks quick as it doesn't have a paddle tail drag or twist tail drag. Then hold until the bait gets straight down stream, then retrieve and repeat...

    They may be making money on $7 Corn, but I was speaking of simple supply and demand. If producers can't get fertilizer or have to pay 3 times the price for fertilizer, they won't plant Corn, or Wheat for that matter as both those crops require fairly substantial fertilizer inputs. I spoke to a...
