    Flood waters

    High water in the Sheyenne means the walleyes will be tight to shore in any small current seam. When I say tight to shore, I mean within a foot or two. If you can find areas that have vertical walls such as clay banks or rocks with a couple feet of water depth right off shore, you're in the...

    Zebra Mussels Discovered in Lake Ashtabula

    I think people will learn how to deal with them and life will go on. Other folks have adapted to the presence of ZM's and the folks of North Dakota will too.

    Sheepshead fish.

    Been known to fry up a few sheepies in my day as well. Beer batter and deep fried is very not icky with the leftover beers. Cut the red meat off the fillets like you should do with most fish and "thems good eats!"

    Apple tree insecticide?

    Nailed it Allen!! I spray my plum, apple, cherry, and pear trees with the dawn dish soap mixture whenever the aphids get stacked on the new growth. It works real well on them too. However, I avoid blossom time. It negatively affects pollenation.

    Amazing!!

    I bake those big fish I can't release. Sprinkled over a salad, that baked walleye is very not icky.

    Apple tree insecticide?

    For a chemical, Sevin is what I would use. For a non chemical, an ounce of Dawn dish soap in a quart spray bottle will also jack up most bugs pretty well. Spray either one on the branches and trunk as well as the leaves. Good Luck!!

    E85 approved for year round use? Anyone run the stuff?

    I LOVE statements like this. What it really means is that everyone has figured out ethanol SUCKS and isn't buying it so NOW they have to market it again by saying "E85 is now approved for year round use.....blah blah blah" Like that will somehow make it NOT SUCK. Classic!!

    Peta is asking fishermen to be vegan

    When life is too easy, instant gratification is the norm, security from physical harm is provided by others, and an unending variety of food is readily available without having to work to grow it/obtain it, this is the kind of stupidity you get.

    Trophy Hunting:. Killing or Conservation

    "Trophy" is just a word people use to elevate themselves or belittle others. Nothing more.

    Trolling with Spoons

    The ONLY time spoons were the ticket to catching walleyes that I've had was when the eyes were on weed edges in less than 8 ft of water. We long lined johnsons weedless silver minnow spoons and absolutely waylayed the eyes for a couple weeks on that pattern. Take it for what it's worth.

    Devils Lake Level Dilemma

    The land loss issue came up when the lake first started to expand and the landowners started complaining. Then they started looking at the original deeds to the land when it was first purchased and discovered that as the lake waters receeded those same landowners gained acres to fields and...

    Fingerprint gun safes

    Have you ever considered taking the fascination and mystery about guns away from the little one in addition to physical security?? When my daughter was 4 or so, I showed her all my guns. She helped clean, touch, taste, look at, feel, pulled triggers, take apart, aim, work actions, and just...

    Leaving Drain Plug out until you're at the Ramp

    I was doing this before ANS became a thing. I looked at it as a boat maintenance issue, not a regulatory issue. Having water in the bottom of the boat led to a whole host of issues from floor decay and other mechanical problems to just plain stink due to molds and fungus growing in the high...

    Ever been shocked by Your grahite rod?

    I've learned over the years that thunder and fishing DON'T MIX. Had the rods buzz ONCE and that was enough. With thunder you usually get wind, waves, rain, sometimes hail, and other unpleasantness so I just pack up and get off the water. Seen water go from calm to raging in 15 minutes. No...

    new to boat fishing

    Well that being the case. BOAT CONTROL will make or break your day on the water. Once you are one the water, throw a bouy out and try to keep your boat next to it without getting into it using whatever motors you have. Waves, wind, and current will show you real fast what to do or not to do...

    new to boat fishing

    Welcome!! Best advice I can give to a new boat owner is to take a case of beer, sit by a popular landing, and learn what NOT to do at the landing for a weekend. Then, practice backing up your boat at a "Lonely" location so you can do it almost blindfolded. After that, it's pretty much all...

    Snagless set up for rocks

    If you are serious about learning to use jigs over rocks, get you happy butt over here for a weekend and I'll teach you how I learned to do it over the past 30 years. It's probably not the only way, but it's worked for me. I'll provide the jigs. By the end of the weekend, you'll be able to...
