    Tire Question

    I know someone that is currently replacing transfer case and differential due to only replacing one bad tire then using 4 Auto on icy interstate. AWD vehicles definitely need matching tires. Furthermore, AWD vehicles often have specific requirements and procedures for using a donut size spare...

    Portable Jumper pack

    Noco is great. Had to use it once so far in the boat and the big motor started quicker than ever. Hope I don't ever have to use it ice fishing but that was a big reason for buying it. Be sure to keep it warm or it may not work when you need it.

    Lithium battery

    Thanks for pointing that out. I didn't realize the lifepo4 batteries were that much better in the cold. Point stands about charging when cold. From Dakota Lithium's excellent website: "Charging lithium iron phosphate batteries below 32°F not only makes your batteries unsafe, but it also will...

    Lithium battery

    That's why I asked what you're powering. A simple flasher draws much less than a large display or camera equipment. Even at reduced capacity from cold, the lithium likely has plenty for a low draw device but may struggle with something that needs more juice. A very cold battery will still turn...

    Lithium battery

    What are you powering? Don't forget you need to get lithium charger too, can't just swap lead acid for lithium in a flasher.

    Knots...Braided to Mono

    Did some ultimate tensile strength testing this evening on Sufix invisiline ice fluorocarbon 3 LB line, Power Pro microfilament braided 5 LB, and two different knots joining them: the double uni and the alberto. I have been running ice rods with the Power Pro main line and Sufix leader with a...

    Knots...Braided to Mono

    Keep in mind the IGFA testing was done with significantly heavier mono and braid than what many of us use for ice fishing or open water fishing, so those results may not translate to our application.

    Knots...Braided to Mono

    Rigged some new ice reels today so tried the alberto from mono backer to braid and braid to fluoro leader. Definitely easier and faster to tie than double uni. Also sets easier without much rubbing of braid on mono/fluoro. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Central ND snow storm, will this lead to bad ice?

    I'll be happy to have the moisture and glad the lakes aren't iced over yet or the snow could really hamper ice development.

    Measure 2: Marijuana Legalization

    Crimina It's also important to acknowledge that this type of research is illegal except in very limited circumstances, so it's disingenuous to claim that the research doesn't exist when the illegal status is the most significant factor in that. Dealing with anything cannabis related remains...

    Glass ice jigs

    Seems like they would eliminate the issue of paint coming off lead or tungsten jigs. Will have to give them a try. I'm sure I'll catch one fish and then own about $60 worth of them.

    You are correct.

    Measure 2: Marijuana Legalization

    Measure 2 is a change to ND Century Code (statutory) as opposed to a change to the State Constitution. Therefore, the legislature will have the ability to modify over time, but if passed by the People the new laws will be placed on the books in 30 days...

    Measure 2: Marijuana Legalization

    All the big business that lobbied hard against previous cannabis measures have accepted it will eventually happen and they would rather control how it happens than fight it indefinitely. This measure mirrors a bill passed in the ND state house and is written to address far more big business...

    New Flip Over

    Whatever you get, put a hyfax kit on it immediately. Even the smaller 2 man flip overs are heavy and unwieldy when moving in and out of pickup bed by oneself. If not connected to a wheeler, have anchors and rope on hand to keep from blowing away in the wind, especially on ice without snow.

    Federal CWD Spending

    I respectfully disagree. Daryl has been fostering great discussion with guests and allowing much more time to callers. He has brought in guests with views opposed to his own. Scott Hennen became nothing more a mouthpiece for the ND RINO establishment.

    Measure 2: Marijuana Legalization

    https://vip.sos.nd.gov/PortalListDetails.aspx?ptlhPKID=140&ptlPKID=1#content-start The majority of the measure deals with growing and distribution. Limits on use, possession and personal growing are established. Protections are provided for users.

    Measure 2: Marijuana Legalization

    The film Reefer Madness came out in 1936. The same tired scare tactics have been levied for a century. Anyone that warns of reefer madness is a fear mongering fool.

    Crazy Hunter Harassment Duck Hunting In North Dakota (Game Warden Involved!)

    People yelling about laws they don't know anything about amuses me. North Dakota is a single-party consent state. Those YouTubers are tools and I really hope they'll keep their BS east of the Red, but they were certainly allowed by law to make that video recording.
