    planting grass.... this is awesome... not

    I tried fixing the yard at my old house after a combination of no snow cover and two dogs completely obliterated what grass there was. Spent a weekend taking out the sod with a shovel, then tilled it with a Mantis tiller I rescued from the curb and refurbished, and finally seeded, fertilized...

    ND Musky

    Were the rumors of stocked tiger muskies in Devils Lake just that, rumors? I suppose by this point if there was a tiger muskie still in Devils Lake, you'd have to sort through 50-plus-inch pike to find it. Yucky.

    Personally, I'd keep the cheeks and toss the rest.

    South of Grano

    Those are what happens when you spill a 24-pack of Bud Heavies over the side of the boat.

    Big Pike Interview

    My grandfather taught me the art of boneless pike fillets when I was just a wee lad. Plus we have a thing for pickled pike. Between those methods, there aren't many northerns that get a pass when we fish...

    Better than a fly-less Barb...that skank.

    Shore fishing the Red River

    There's always a rumor that someone catches a blue or flathead, but it's never been verified. I've caught some might pale channels in the past that some might think were blues, but they ain't. And post-spawn males can take in the appearance of a flathead sometimes, which might explain the false...

    Shore fishing the Red River

    Oh I know it was a special year. When a guy fishing the bank can win KOTC, you know something is going on. Still, the point is I learned the river that year, which reduced my snag-ups and increased hookups. I still believe there are less snags up there in general, as I could often experiment...

    Shore fishing the Red River

    I used to think that, but I fished very hard in 2009 (5 days a week minimum) along a stretch of river by the north landing in Grand Forks. I got it down to where I knew exactly where to cast to avoid snags, and often made it work with only one or two a trip. If I went 10 minutes without getting...

    ND big 3 draw

    I really ought to start applying to this Big 3 thingy. Sounds like a hoot-and-a-half.

    Shore fishing the Red River

    Oh the mighty Red. I have the same love-hate relationship with it as I do Devils Lake. When it's good, it is GOOD. But when it's not, you're left sobbing with a broken rod, $50 worth of lost tackle and mud on parts of your body you didn't know existed. I'm convinced there are 10X as many snags...

    Little Minneapolis indeed

    Odd eh? Five years, during which the prices in Fargo for homes skyrocketed, and the bank is like, "meh..."

    In-Fisherman must have sold the farm to Berkley.

    As someone who used to be in the magazine biz, I feel your pain. What you describes happens everywhere. Even nonprofits (Delta Waterfowl, DU, PF, etc.) kneel to the almighty dollar. Unless it's bought and paid for by someone or some company, it doesn't get ink. But I don't think all is lost...

    Fargo Stupidity

    Man, I hope this guy gets his FFL. He's two blocks from my house. That would make things SUPER convenient as I add to my collection.

    God knows there are plenty of folks willing to go the distance and assure we all know who the asses are around here.

    Leech Lake Knifes

    Worth is difficult to calculate. I mean, it depends on your perspective. I got the LL knife as a Christmas present, so it has both practical and sentimental value. Would I personally spend $100 on a knife? Probably not. Just not that important in the grand scheme of things. But then again there...

    Wind

    That's the only silver lining to living in the armpit that is the Red River Valley. If it's windy, I can head east to some secluded lake in the trees where there's barely a ripple.

    Last night I was thinking about fishing, as I often do...

    Fishing was my gateway drug to the outdoors, and dad definitely was my dealer. I used to spend hours on Saturday mornings watching In-Fisherman, Midwest Outdoors and the like. Dad never was much into hunting at the time, so it was fishing that consumed me. He'd strap his 70s olive-green...

    Clearly either oilfield trash or Sconies... :;:stirthepot
