    Ditch Ducks

    I've got "Wild Kingdom" of ducks happening on my drive home each night right now....woodys, mallards, etc. What are you seeing? Anything out of the ordinary? Really predictable and should be able to get some really cool pics if I go prepared one evening....

    Shore fishing the Red River

    I have caught quite a few walleye while using cut bait for cats - usually cut goldeye and sometimes on the retrieve. Reaction strike I'm sure. All have been 5 lbs+ but no monsters. Also, a stray northern once in awhile. One time got 17lb and 12 lb cat AND a 5 lb walleye from the same snag on...

    Shore fishing the Red River

    You are SO spot on Duckslayer that I'm convinced you have been following me and narrating my adventures....I too use the same rod set ups with the same hopes. God I love to hate the Red! Key is heavier line above the leader so when it does snag you only lose the hook. And having pre-tied...

    Shore fishing the Red River

    Be sure to post pics of the catch! No doubt you'll have luck - this rain brought new life into the river and feed should be on when it settles out a bit. Caught my first cat of the year Friday @ 9 lbs. They are definitely there! Water temp was 55 @ the Red/Wild Rice confluence.

    Shore fishing the Red River

    Great rig description bigcatpike. I concur on all counts. Don't be afraid of big hooks for big cutbait... No one mentioned - don't keep sturgeon. Yes, they are in there - I've personally seen but not caught a few very small ones. Also, there are eel pout, so if that's your flavor then add...

    Shore fishing the Red River

    What KDM said on river table fare, as well as technique. I found bells help because my attention span wanders while on shore..... Bait shops in Fargo are fairly limited, but the best is Fargo Bait and Tackle - Gary is great and has by far the best bait. As for the best bait to use for cats...

    MN Twins

    Ouch....really tough to listen to on the way home from mpls with the kids in the back seat. Wow.....I'm a "rube" and can't stand losing, let alone 6 to start the season. My poor wife in the front seat......

    Preparing catfish??

    I agree completely with trimming the red and yellow meat off....an absolute must. There is also a layer of fat between the skin and fillet which I avoid by turning the knife up slightly while separating the two. Seems like a lot of work at first, but in my opinion the meat is well worth the...

    You just CAN'T make this stuff up.............

    No matter how good we are at our craft, there's always learning to be had - sometimes they smack you in the forehead and you are simply reminded of how human you are.

    You just CAN'T make this stuff up.............

    And this is river fishing in a nutshell. Or just fishing for that matter. You handled it right KDM - kudos. I'm not going to tell the Sheyenne Master how to fish, but next time I'd remember to switch it up an hour into fishing when you haven't produced on bobber. We all get stuck in patterns...

    NETFLIX making a murderer

    I was about to ask the same question. Stabbed and tied to the bed, yet not a trace of her DNA in the trailer or bed, no marks on the wooden headboard. Not a single drop of blood or spray in the garage where the bullet was magically found at a later date there. Those who hunt know this is not...

    1955 good housewife guide

    Definitely real. We bought a book at the thrift store, 1941 published by New York Herald Tribune called "America's Housekeeping Book". Very similar to the article, only it's almost 600 pages of goodness! Don't think my wife took to reading it very thoroughly....I have yet to see her in an...

    FMUSLMS license plate

    They kill in the name of a messed up interpretation of their religion. They are terrorists using religion as a justification. You can't lump billions of people who practice the same religion into one bucket and call it good - you CAN lump all terrorists together regardless of whatever f'd up...

    Oh. Carl. Poppa. You knew sooner or later he was gonna get an eye patch. Best episode in a long time!

    Boat floor restoration

    Johnr is right, and so is everyone else.....For me, it comes down to this: I love to tinker, but time is precious. Two kids, full time job, fishing as often as I can - it's a challenge to balance as many of you know. I started a flooring project in my boat and am scrambling now to finish with...

    Can I rent short term dock space at a Sak marina?

    Still wondering exactly how that happened. Dumbass.

    Yeah, if I was AS wrong AS often as they are I'd be long since fired.

    Blizzard

    How's the weather where you're at? Another classic example of terrible forecasting of a "blizzard warning" where I'm at. What a joke. Windy, yes. Blizzard, no. We live in ND - C'mon.

    World Record Alligator Gar

    I believe what I was catching were short nose as well. What a prehistoric fish!
