    Damn Boat Motors

    Well....it worked! At least, it worked a lot better in my driveway than past experiences. I ripped out both carbs, cleaned them by soaking in carb cleaner, then spraying with carb cleaner and canned air. Reassembled with new gaskets and parts, then reinstalled. She fired up first try and I...

    NDGF: Pheasant numbers up slightly, Grouse down

    Keep going guys! We keep this up long enough, the Sconis are actually going to start believing us :;:thumbsup

    NDGF: Pheasant numbers up slightly, Grouse down

    Same in the SE. Better head to Watford City and hunt around the abandoned man camps, or else go to SD. Only options left...

    NDGF: Pheasant numbers up slightly, Grouse down

    Mild winter and good spring, and yet the numbers are just up a bit from last year??? Man, you can really see the effect of those lost CRP acres when we have great winters with good carryover and still don't get big swing in bird numbers. Oh well, plenty to shoot still if you can find the cover...

    mid summer crappies

    Well sure, if you're keeping little 7 inchers. But get into 11s and 12s and the meat ratio is closer to that of a 15-inch walleye.

    mid summer crappies

    I've never had to go real deep or fish late to find crappies. You may have seen my report, but just last weekend we found them in 8-10 FOW outside of the shoreline lilly pads but inside cabbage. We fished from about 1 to 4 p.m. They must have been down at the bottom third of the water column...

    Packing My Pickle Jars and Heading to Sconi Land!!!

    In all seriousness, I thought it was an interesting story. Goes to show that there's a balance for everything. These lakes overpopulated with muskies obviously don't promote growth. Fish were croaking of old age and not even reaching 40 inches. With C&R being basically the norm for muskies...

    AIM: Devils Lake

    With all the trees falling down, it's going to get harder and harder for folks to tie up their catch the day before the weigh-in. I better get in while I still have a chance of winning -- you know, before all the trees are gone... :;:

    Packing My Pickle Jars and Heading to Sconi Land!!!

    Hey Guy, wanna carpool? If we both pack a big Yeti, we can bring back twice as many muskies!!

    Packing My Pickle Jars and Heading to Sconi Land!!!

    Can't wait to stock up on a pile of sweet, sweet mushki flesh to top off my pickling reserves: http://www.twincities.com/2016/06/24/too-many-muskies-wisconsins-action-lakes-encourage-keepers/ Too many muskies? Wisconsin’s ‘action lakes’ encourage keepers ON DAY LAKE, ASHLAND COUNTY, Wis. —...

    Changing lawn mower oil filter ( epic fail)

    My grandfather is 95. Living in a retirement home in northern Minnesota. Let's the relatives know whenever he can how miserable he's been since he was convinced to leave his home on Lake McCormack of the last 50 years. After all, it was paid off! Now he's paying every month to be with other...

    The dude installed a screen door on a boat, coated in that stuff and it FLOATED. Totes legit.

    80 degrees, no wind -- WTF am I doing here??

    I wish it was that easy. The owners of our company are old school to the extreme. 8-5 M-F, no exceptions. People come in early, work late, and often work weekends. Why? I dunno. People enjoy being miserable. I'm the black sheep. I prefer getting my crap done during the assigned hours and...

    80 degrees, no wind -- WTF am I doing here??

    That's just it, I shouldn't bitch. It's stupid and ungrateful. But damn...I can't help but think, what if...

    80 degrees, no wind -- WTF am I doing here??

    I'd considered that. One of my best friends is a teacher in West Fargo. The stories he tells of his students makes me fear for humanity's future.

    Stupid New Products Thread

    Larry Dahlberg makes his own baits he calls Mr. Wigglies that bare a striking resemblance to the Banjo Minnow, only on a much grander scale. He uses them for everything, and catches a boatload of monster fish.

    80 degrees, no wind -- WTF am I doing here??

    I'm sitting here, staring at a pair of computer screens. Papers all over my desk. Projects in various stages of completion. And all I can think about is how freaking pointless this all is. Get up at 5 a.m., shower, make breakfast, get the kids ready, kiss the wife, go to work, sit on my ass...

    Damn Boat Motors

    The only consolation to all this is I sort of enjoy tinkering with motors. My one regret in high school was not being able to take the small-engine class (which was reserved for the gang bangers and dope heads). I've successfully resurrected a snow blower and small Mantis tiller by taking...

    How many water bodies have you fished?

    Boy that's a noggin scratcher. I grew up near the Twin Cities and my summers were spent exploring new waters. Between that and having grandparents in lake-rich areas, I'm probably in the neighborhood of 75-100 lakes in MN (Heck, a single trip to the BWCA can net you a dozen lakes alone). In ND...

    Thanks Hog. You mirror what others are saying. I'm sure I could get by without a carb kit, but figured might as well just do it all as long as I have the sucker off the motor.
