    The RIGHT way to clean pike

    You're not wrong, KDM! - - - Updated - - - I've never tried that but will now. Thanks for the tip. In the meantime, I've found newspaper to be a pretty good absorber of slime. It's about the one good use for it these days.

    Red River- Ice Fishing Fargo area

    Yeah it was steady. The hardest part is actually hooking them. They are almost better than perch at picking a jig clean without getting hooked.

    I would LOVE to see you pull that off.

    The RIGHT way to clean pike

    I can take cold-water pike, clean it this way, throw it in with walleyes in the fry pan and absolutely guarantee you won't be able to tell the difference. Cooked up they all turn flaky white and delicious.

    Red River- Ice Fishing Fargo area

    Way too early yet. When I tried fishing the Red, it was late January and it was only after we'd had a ton of cold for a long time. I tried by the Convent Landing off 52nd Ave. Didn't go near the bridge because the current gets sketchy over there. Went north a ways until I was sick of walking...

    The RIGHT way to clean pike

    I'm drawing a line in the sand because I'm sick of seeing the "wrong" way to clean pikes and get boneless fillets. AKA, Exhibit A: This way just pisses me right the hell off. One, the claim that the "backstap" from the first cut is boneless is complete BS. It's full of cartilage and the ends...

    Clam Outdoors Customer Service

    Now I'm pissed I asked for, and received, a new pair of Clam mitts for Christmas to replace the worn ones from less than a year ago. Well, now I know for next year...

    more weather

    I'm supposed to be on Red Lake in a sleeper house Jan. 13-15, so I fully expect subzero temperatures, howling wind and feet of snow. It's only fitting.

    Coming Upon Winter Kill

    Now that we're having a "normal" winter again, we'll finally get a good assessment of what all that reduced habitat means for deer and upland game numbers. We've been living on borrowed time with three mild winters in a row. This was inevitable. Sucky...but inevitable.

    Lamest Walleye Advice Ever

    The surest way to raise an Ice Pirate's Jolly Roger is to tell him there are no walleyes in a particular lake. Well played.

    Lamest Walleye Advice Ever

    Actually, I seldom travel more than an hour and a half one way for birds. Most of the time I'm inside an hour. But I know what you mean.

    Lamest Walleye Advice Ever

    Waaaaay ahead of you. That's Ice Pirating 101. I've been tracking Ahab for years, however he hasn't hit any of the lakes I want to fish. But if I stretch my legs a bit and head his direction, I have plenty of waypoints at the ready. :;:muahaha - - - Updated - - - There's a spot on a lake I...

    Hot dogs or Smelt

    Smelt...thawed ahead of time. On a quick-strike rig. Hands down.

    Lamest Walleye Advice Ever

    I'm trying to up my walleye game in hopes of having greater success with Son No. 1 this winter. So, I do what comes natural, which is to turn to the interweb and start googling "How To Ice Fish Walleyes." Most of it is same-old, same-old. I've fished walleyes my whole life, so I'm not a...

    Fish House Break In

    This exactly. My grandpa used to have a spear shack. Tiny thing. Built it himself. It was tipped over decades ago and a bunch of his stuff was stolen, including a dozen or so hand-carved spearing decoys my great grandfather made. Since then, he took everything with him to and from the shack...

    Well this is going to get interesting

    When this is finally over and the rats have jumped ship, I hope they just torch the place. Cleanse the North Dakota ground of whatever is left behind.

    Brewer lake (cass co.)

    This is a big reason I'll never invest in a permanent. The beauty is in the fact you can leave it on the ice. But break-ins happen constantly. Just easier to bring a portable out and home every time. No worries about someone wrecking it and stealing all your crap. Such a shame. I'd love to...

    Have you ever?

    Never at work. Got the stomach flu last week and trusted a fart a bit too much while I was puking my guts out. Straight to the trash with those undies.

    I need expert advice

    I brought my son out last year at 2. He was kept entertained by a bucket of minnows even on a slow day. This year I hope to repeat the process, but we're bringing a tablet along in case squirmy minnows don't cut the mustard any more. I'm not sure what 11 year olds are interested in. They...
