    Jiffy Pro 4 propane auger, do you like yours?

    I've seen way more jiffy propane augers for sale on Bisman than any other newer auger. I have definitively heard more bad than good about them. I personally wouldn't buy propane from either brand that makes them. They are heavy, the engines are questionable, and the propane bottles just seem...

    Heater for pop up shelter

    Can you set a Mr. buddy directly on these, or will it melt them? I just use a cheap rug right now to keep my feet off the ice but am looking fro something else that can also stop the Mr. buddy from creating a puddle.

    Down Imaging VS Side Imaging

    I believe you have to be moving to get the DI/SI display, so i don't think those work in ice. I could be wrong though.

    Down Imaging VS Side Imaging

    The size of the 5 does concern me for SI. I also want to use this in the winter so i don't really want to jump up to the 7, plus this is a river boat that i mostly just use in the spring. I think if i was buying a dedicated boat sonar that i used all spring/summer/fall i would spring for the 7...

    Down Imaging VS Side Imaging

    I'm looking at putting a new sonar on my boat. This is a smaller fishing boat used primarily for fishing the Missouri. I think I've narrowed down my choice to a Humminbird Helix 5. The questions is do I go DI for $350 or SI for $500? Is down imaging going to give me much coverage in the shallow...

    Humminbird Ice Helix 5 Sonar GPS Combo

    I need a new unit for my boat and am also probably going to get an ATV for ice fishing next year. There seem to be so many models of even this hummingbird Helix 5. I have an fl-18 that just wont die so i don't necessarily need the unit for an ice fishing graph. I would be using it more as my...

    New Clam Auger Plate

    I saw a couple guys the past few times I've been out using the k-drill/Milwaukee combo. Saw another with the clam plate/mora drill. After watching them it makes me tempted to get rid of the Honda. They look the the cats ass for ice under about 18". The only thing holding me back is by the time...

    Ice Fishing Audubon National Wildlife Refuge

    I noticed several vehicles driving through the grass to get to the shoreline in Nelson bay a few weeks ago. It also looked like a refuge vehicle that stopped buy them but never went out and talked to the people. I was kind of hoping they were writing down license plates and sending them nice...

    5 lb propane bottles

    I Think Menards and Runnings both have them. I would get an 11# though. I can get quite a few trips with an 11# and mr heater portable buddy. They make it so much nicer when your dragging all your crap out by hand.

    Animals we should start stocking in ND

    There are still some Elk that occasionally move through the river bottoms around Bismarck. A buddy of mine found a nice set of sheds a few years back, and another buddy of mine had a 5 x 5 on his trail cam a couple years ago. The amount of Moose moving through the river bottoms is also a lot...

    ATV Snow Plows vs. Snow Blower

    For you guys with ATV plows, do you just leave the plow on if you use them for ice fishing or do you take it on and off? How much work is involved if you take it off for Ice Fishing? I have an old shitty snowblower that i need to replace, but also have been thinking about getting an ATV for ice...

    Ice Fishing Standards?

    Same standards, and I agree with MM that you have a better chance of catching big fish through the ice. My biggest Perch, Walleye, Pike & Crappie have all come through the ice!

    Menards ice auger

    Do you guys know of anybody using the K-drill with the Honda head? I have the Honda and love it but have thought about a chipper fighting for when i fish the Missouri. Thinking k-drill might be a better option.

    Kayak Trip ?

    I tried to do a similar trip two years ago on McQuade weekend. If anyone remembers the weather that year, McQuade was rained out for the entire Saturday. We paddled from Stanton to Cross Ranch in a torrential downpour for 8 hours straight. Thankfully when we got to CR they had a fire going and...
