    Underwater Camera opinions

    I've been wanting an underwater camera for years, but now that my 2-year-old son is coming with this winter, I'm going to finally bite the bullet. Price is a factor, which is why I have it narrowed down to two Aqua-Vu models: the AV Micro II or the AV715C. Only $50 separates them, and I can see...

    Dog tail - to bob or not to bob

    There are medical reasons to dock tails, too. Labs and golden retrievers can get a pretty debilitating injury known as limber tail. It's basically a very painful strain/sprain that long-tailed dogs can get from over training or over exercising, especially from swimming. Limber tail is so painful...

    Pfft...Bismarck fishermen...emiright??

    Ice Anglers Rescued Two Bismarck anglers were rescued from a Kidder County lake last night, after they couldn’t get back to shore because the ice had heaved and melted away from the shoreline. North Dakota Game and Fish Department district game warden Greg Hastings, U.S. Fish and Wildlife...

    Dog tail - to bob or not to bob

    I own GWPs, both of whom have docked tails. I like it. They look gentlemanly, and still give a friendly wag that anyone can see. Best part is that wag won't knock you in the manhood, send full bottles of beer flying or make babies cry. Win-win-win.

    If you find out, please come here and let all of the Interwebs know about the hot, hot bite. Thanks much!

    New FNG

    I have no comical and/or witty defecation stories, so I shall leave you with this lone intellectual insight that perfectly and succinctly describes what can be expected here at NDA: Penis!

    Favorite Ice Fishing rods/reels

    As a quasi-hybrid noodle/springbobber rod, this TB Tripwire is a frankensteinian creation that just might be the coolest thing since can coozies: http://www.thornebros.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=27398&idcategory=562

    Cicada guys?

    I was really confused with this being in the Turkey Hunting forum. Couldn't for the life of me think of what a Cicada was and how it related to fooling toms.

    Favorite Ice Fishing rods/reels

    Man, I held one of those at GM the other day and thought it was limp as an 85-year-old monk. I mean, sure it's sensitive, but it has zero backbone. I like my noodle rods to have a sensitive, soft tip that quickly builds to a stout, haymaker of a backbone. It's the best of both words, like a...

    Favorite Ice Fishing rods/reels

    I'm pretty sure the JM Meatstick was based off the success of the Thorne Bros. Power Noodle. Could be wrong, but I feel like as soon as TB came out with theirs, JM followed suit. Anyway, I have a Power Noodle and I dig it. I'm a diehard spring bobber guy for pennies, but those things suck out...

    Reel Idea for Deadsticking

    I picked up the CGI over lunch. It seems like a darn nice piece of equipment for the $29 Gander wanted. Plus I got a $10 gift card from a Pheasants Forever promo, so it really only cost me $20. We'll see if it's worth that much, but I'm guessing it can't be worse than the cheap reals I already...

    Anyone use navionics app ice fishing?

    I like the Navionics app, although it's certainly not perfect. I bought the version where it's updated a lot, and I've found a lot more lakes with detailed structure. It's great for taking out the guesswork of getting to a spot. Usually I use it to find where I want to go, then I turn off the...

    Reel Idea for Deadsticking

    Don't get me wrong, I use bobbers a lot. But there are times when it's nice to just drop a dead stick down with nothing at all. Especially when you're waiting for that golden 30 minutes around sunset. I can't count the times I've had the walleyes finally rush through, and then had to spend...

    Reel Idea for Deadsticking

    Yup, that's the style. Like I said, they're all BIG. I think I may have found a good compromise, though: The No. 8 Tackle CGI: http://store.no8tackle.com/p/cgi-left-handed?pp=24 I'm not a huge fan of inline reels, but this has a lot of cool features at a darn affordable price tag. It can drop...

    Reel Idea for Deadsticking

    If you did that without a bobber the bait would fall all the way to the bottom. A freespool style reel allows you to basically turn the reel down to a much lighter drag setting. So you could, hypothetically, drop your jig to a foot off the bottom, put the rod in a rod holder, and flip the...

    Reel Idea for Deadsticking

    I've been thinking lately (which would explain all the nosebleeds) and I think I might have the perfect reel for a dead stick rod that doesn't require a bobber: A freespool/baitrunning spinning reel. You guys ever seen them things? The carp/catfish dudes love 'em. Basically, it's a spinning...

    Banded electronic goose jerk flag

    Man, I should have patented that idea. Back in the early 2000s when I realized ejumucated honkers would key in on a flag and, subsequently, the hunter attached to it, I came up with an idea. What resulted was a combination of a flag, large gate hinge, pole spikes, a bungee cord and about 50 feet...

    Another milla lacs giant posted 11/29/2015

    That sucker would be hanging on my wall next to a Minnesota Record Fish plaque. I bet it would make a whole GALLON pickled -- possibly two.

    Whole meat venison jerky

    I always just buy the seasoning packs, either High Mountain or Shore Lunch. Both make equally yummy jerky cures. I've been leaning toward the latter lately, simply because I find the flavors more robust. But I think Shore Lunch quit making jerky seasonings a few years ago, so you might be out of...

    How Healthy is Your Venison?

    How is the fat that high? Venison has got to be some of the leanest wild game on the planet. Why else does it get so dry if you overcook it past medium rare by 5 seconds?
