    Opinion on releasing fish?

    This is always a fun topic. IMHO, and from what I've read, it kind of goes like this: Tagging studies show very low (25% ????) re-catch rates for walleye. I don't think we are so silly as to think that these fish "learned their lesson" for trying to eat something with a hook in it, so we need...

    How late have you boat fished?

    Different position descriptions, hence different staffing requirements.

    How late have you boat fished?

    Sucks to be them! Thankfully, I don't work overnight shifts.

    Nah, I rarely go fishing before 0500. :D

    Sheet Rock Screws, nails, etc.

    A shit ton is an American weight definition, therefore it's equal to 2,000 lbs. A metric shit ton is 2,200 lbs.

    How late have you boat fished?

    I have fished the Missouri in the Bismarck area every month of the year, just not all months in a given year. I think the latest I've fished in December is around the 14th, and the earliest I've fished in January is also around the 15th (give or take a few days). It's part of the reason I love...

    Has anyone named their boat?

    The Toon is called "Spoiled Rottens", in honor of my kids.

    Left eye dominant shooting

    I am strongly left eye dominant and shoot everything right handed, including pistol although I can use my dominant eye while shooting pistol. It's not really an issue to shoot scoped rifles with my non-dominant eye, but shooting shotgun is a whole different ball of wax. I need to "squint" with...

    Fall salmon

    So we went up yesterday and got on the water just after sunrise. Thought it was going to be a good day as someone landed one next to the ramp as we put in the toon. There were lots of fish hitting the surface, but I couldn't determine "what" they were going after on the surface. All we could...

    Tow hitch disaster

    Yep, that's why I have broken many a rope and chain. Back in the 1980s there were 3 large Versatile tractors daisy chained together and all stuck in a field/wetland south of Stanley. I was in my late teens and cringed at how they all got buried with a VERY taught nylon rope in-between them...

    A ND Timber Wolf?!?!

    Not gonna lie, I keep odd hours more and more with each passing year. Damnit...

    Tow hitch disaster

    BTW, one of the problems with this particular example is the amount of drop on that drop hitch. That SOB is a lever if the tower was wrapping it around the ball. It should have been hooked up to be more of an inline tow with respect to the 2" receiver rather than creating a lever by wrapping...

    Tow hitch disaster

    I have literally broken a lot of nylon ropes and steel chains over the years. I am not sure why people are more afraid of chains breaking than a rope. A 2" diameter nylon rope stretched to 1.5" in diameter is a killer when it breaks, and even worse if the end clevis or chain breaks and is a...

    A ND Timber Wolf?!?!

    A guy I know had a Husky that looked identical to that canine.

    Fall salmon

    Is there a specific time of day the bite is best now? Morning, noon, sunset, 0-dark-30?

    Elk Bulls

    Be patient, most people I know who have drawn an elk tag want the experience of chasing them in the wild. Once they get that out of their system and start running low on time off, spousal patience, etc...your phone will ring.

    What is your dream boat?

    I've loved my 04 Lund Fisherman and wouldn't bat an eye in replacing it with the same. A dream boat though would probably be a 20+ ft Tyee GL with a maxxed out non-Mercury engine, 12" graphs for everyone on board. In reality though, what I have learned is that no boat is universally acceptable...

    Fall salmon

    We are now at the time of year where salmon should be up shallow. Current plan is to head up early Sunday morning, and toss spoons, mepps, cranks, etc in the hope of catching a few. Anyone got any tips on time of day, go-to lures, or just anything of interest that would help a salmon...
