    Spring time fishing question

    67 years old and learning things in this one post that I never knew. How did I get so lucky all these years by just pulling to boat out of the water, pulling the plugs and parking it wherever I had a spot that was open. Have never parked a boat in a heated garage. Would if I had an open spot...

    Midco Sports

    OK, those of you who have TV service from Midco, how many of you find yourself watching Midco Sports just to watch Kelly Stewart. If you haven't watched the show, it concentrates on ND and SD high school and college sports. Quite a few replayed games as well as highlights of many games and...

    Big Brother is watching~

    Big brother does watch the border. Not saying they catch them all but much of the border has sensors that detect illegal crossings. Not saying they catch them all but they do have an idea where to watch. Biggest problem in some areas is the sensors also pick up animals that cross and result in...

    Garage Finishing Ideas

    Saw a garage that used galvanized, corrugated metal up about 3-4' from the floor. Nice cap on top for trim and a painted floor that looked like marble. Super sharp look, easy to keep clean and walls that were very durable. Owner said paint wasn't overly expensive and very durable.

    Weather

    Well I was wrong. Did end up with the 6-8 inches that were predicted to be possible. Heavy snow as well, lots of moisture which I think is a good thing for most of us. Good thing was it didn't last very long in this area. Maybe snowed for about 6 hours and wind wasn't much more than about 20mph...

    Cast nets / netting for bait?

    Perhaps you could catch gamefish in a casting net. But, since they are immediately brought to the boat or shore, gamefish would be easy to release. Since such nets are designed to catch small baitfish it's not like most fish are going to get caught by the gills or some other manner which would...

    Cast nets / netting for bait?

    I wonder the reason for it being illegal in ND? You would think you would catch very few if any gamefish. Saw a guy using a throw net in the SE once and thought that it looked pretty neat and easy. Grabbed a buddies net to fill our bait bucket. Not impossible but no where near as easy as it...

    Weather

    Pretty much a guess based on many past storms that were supposed to cover us in snow and ended up not much more than a minor inconvenience.

    How smart are fish ?

    Perhaps it's the fishermen who aren't so smart. Do daredevils, lazy likes, etc. no longer work or do we no longer use them because something new came along? Most of us are suckers for something new. If it looks flashy we buy it. Another case in point; remember when we all caught lots of fish in...

    Ice equipment casualties

    Have you ever noticed that no matter where on the floor of a fish-house you drop something, invariably it's going to end up going down a hole?

    I think we will get some moisture. I also think most of the state will receive way less than predicted.

    Affairs and snowbunnies

    These women who claim they have been involved with Pres. Trump as well as other women who willingly went to bed with some famous guy and then claimed some type of reimbursement was due them reminds me of a picture of a very attractive woman laying on the bed in a pretty revealing bikini. The...

    Armed Resource Officer - Maryland Shooting

    Well, it stopped more deaths in this instance. I still don't think armed officers in the school's are the complete answer. We need to find a solution to why these young people are thinking that shooting other students is the solution to their problems. Only when we have no need for armed...

    Turkey Tags

    Pretty common in other states I've hunted. Need all licenses required before you can buy the specialty tag. Would seem to make sense to require the general license at the time of application. It won't matter how they issue the licenses. Not everyone will be happy. bckhntr was correct. At one...

    Nasty New Phone Scam that can clear your bank accounts out fast

    One of the problems, I think, is that they are rarely caught and frequently from another country. Lucky to just stop the damage, much less actually catch the criminal. Last week I received a phone call where a guy with a very foreign accent told me his company had detected a virus on my...

    Skunks....

    While you have the blanket over the live trap, run a hose from the exhaust pipe of your truck under the cover. Pretty soon the little kitty goes into a very deep sleep, most likely will never wake up. Haul it out to someplace where it will bother on one. Easy and clean.

    DL recreational center Vote NO!

    Viewed the video of the projected building. Really did not see anything over the top. It was definitely a nice looking building from the exterior but making something look nice does not necessarily make it expensive. You can build a very nice home without making it expensive. In most cases a...

    DL recreational center Vote NO!

    Other than you don't think it's needed, Why Not? It's quite a chunk of change but with a sales tax you're also getting people from a wide area helping to pay for the building instead of a property tax. Recreational opportunities are important for a community. Don't live in DL and honestly...

    When do you start kids fishing?

    Reaffirm the advice from above. Make sure the day is comfortable. Attention span is very short at that age, make sure there are alternative things to do. Concentrate on fish that are easy to catch. Quantity is much more important at that age than quality. Size might matter to your wife but kids...
