    Daylight saving time

    I'm a "morning person"...having more daylight in the evening does not benefit me in any way...in June/July/August I'd rather have light at 0500 to get the boat on the water before the flies come out!

    First Ice - Predictions

    After reading KDM's post above...safety first should be our mantra with all our outdoor activities. Seems like first ice in the fall and first boat outings in the spring are the most high risk.

    First Ice - Predictions

    The last 2 years we've fished Audubon the second weekend in November. Matter of fact think last year had 6 inches of ice that first time out.

    Right on...I was hoping to keep the boat out available until mid November...but Mother Nature doesn't want to play ball!

    First Ice - Predictions

    Based on next week's forecasted temps, I'm gonna say some of the smaller lakes will have fishable ice by Sunday 10 November...what do you guys think!

    Did you hit the river? - - - Updated - - - Gotcha...any luck...what did you have for water temps? Not bad to load/unload without a dock if you have 2 people.

    2019 Boat Fishing Season Over or Not?

    ^ Where did you fish Friday? I put in at Sak State Park...ran west. They still had 1 dock in...which was nice. Guess I'll go thru my ice fishing gear this weekend...boat goes into storage Saturday.

    2019 Boat Fishing Season Over or Not?

    I hate the thought of putting the boat away for the season and having to go thru all the ice gear...but looking at temps for the next 10 days...reality!

    2019 Boat Fishing Season Over or Not?

    Coldest nastiest weather anyone has ever boat fished in? Oddly enough mine came late August 2 years ago. Got out on the lake in the morning...cool windy and rainy but I was determined to stick it out. I was not dressed properly for 40 degrees wind and rain. Starting catching fish...didn't want...

    Drain Sakakawea

    Was down in Omaha last weekend...water levels high everywhere in between. Not sure how much more they could have pushed thru the system the last 5 months. Those folks south of us dealing with it too...

    Ripped off by vallely sport and marine

    ^ Exactly... - - - Updated - - - I was looking at Vallely in February once I decided I was going with the Lund Impact. They gave me their "best" price on the Impact I wanted with the motor, electronics, and trolling motor I wanted. I then went to Blakes in Devil's Lake to compare. Blakes quote...

    Plenty wet over here.

    Additionally, at least with our federal contracts, we have a "winter exclusion" period...typically 1 Nov thru 1 Apr. This period does not count against the total contract Period of Performance.

    Last Boat Outing of 2019

    If I stored my boat at home I'd keep her at the ready until ice up. But I store her in a different town and have to coordinate drop off. Don't want to have to pull the boat thru a foot of snow to store...so gotta be a little more conservative when it comes to putting her to bed for the...

    Last Boat Outing of 2019

    I believe Friday will be it for me this season...temps drop off quickly next week. Think I'll put the boat in at Sak State park...run west to Expansion Bay area. Been a good first year with the Impact, Friday will be trip #43 this season...so she got broken in well this first year! Hope those of...
