    Pike at van hook...

    A 100 lb paddlefish swimming by with its mouth open would catch a person's attention, even if you already knew it only ate zooplankton. Same with the sturgeon. - - - Updated - - - BTW, If'n I were to attempt to chase pike in that area, first and foremost...I'd put in on the river and go up...

    Boat Slip Water Scum

    Amazing how oxalic acid labeled for boat cleaning is 10x more expensive than oxalic acid labeled for shitters, isn't it. - - - Updated - - - http://www.rbnainfo.com/product.php?productLineId=321 Oops. The above is for a different Lysol formulation, the one in the green labeled container. The...

    Killing grass for food plot

    I'm pretty sure I had a reasonable (not 40 ounce) mix of roundup that I used to go after some weedy grasses (quack, etc) in my rural lawn this summer. Afterwards I sowed grass seed of a more desirable style. 8 weeks later and the quack, and other grasses, came in just as strong as ever and my...

    Replacement Net Bag

    Looks like a rubberized nylon net, not sure of the mesh size. All in all, it isn't unlike the ones I prefer if it is the rubberized nylon. Pretty sure that's cheaper than the ones I've bought in the past though, but mine were a Cabelas brand, I think. It's been 5 or 6 years since I've last...

    New boat

    Getting the max speed out of a given setup is amazingly tricky. Even with as little as 1-3 mph breezes make a difference. Lots of boats seem to like a rippling of the lake's surface. With the wind, against the wind (even when it's paltry), not to mention trimming of the motor isn't a...

    New boat

    Hah, I forgot to mention that it's also about $10k per additional foot of boat, with the Lunds anyway.

    Replacement Net Bag

    My old frabil is on its 3rd or 4th replacement netting. The last two I picked up from Cabelas. All you need are the dimensions and then figure out what type of netting you want.

    New boat

    On the weight differential between glass and aluminum, I was curious. So a 189 Tyee GL weighs 2500 lbs (sans everything you would put on the hull), and an 1875 Tyee aluminum hull is listed at 1760 lbs for maybe a couple inches of less boat. The 208 Tyee GL is listed at 2650 lbs, whereas the...

    Tandem towing

    While I set the bar at a fifth wheel to pull a tandem, it's not like the news channels are full of bumper hitch tandem accidents. Can they all just be that lucky, or is it just doable if you aren't a Nascar wannabe?

    Kirsten Baesler

    I will probably vote for her, not because I condone drinking and driving, but wasn't one of the others accused of improper touching of a child? And the democrat option, ehh...no.

    I think Pluckem and I need to do a late season hunt together.

    South Dakota sink holes

    I explored a few of old gold mines in the Black Hills a number of years ago. Despite my inherent claustrophobia not liking shit like that. Same with all the cave tours. I always get a kick out of the tour guides that say something stupid like "there's never been a cave-in here at xxxxx cave"...

    New boat

    pfft, you want something that won't take a wave over the bow in the shittiest of conditions? Get a quality aluminum boat. Those bastages float like popcorn on the water compared to glass. :;:stirthepot - - - Updated - - - Of course, it's also why they ride so rough.

    Trolling for Salmon with in-line weights - 5 oz weights -

    LOL, no coho around these parts anymore, it's chinook or nothing. In that part of the world, I know back in the 80s there were people fishing around Pouch Point going after salmon. I "think" they mostly caught coho down there, but someone may be able to correct me on that. I am thinking 90%...

    Trolling for Salmon with in-line weights - 5 oz weights -

    I'd be careful about where you are thinking of long-lining something like that. Downrigger users get real pissy when they run across your lines in the zoo that can be salmon chasing. They will cut your line and drop your tackle into the depths. Yes, I've seen it firsthand.

    River fishing with kids

    LOL, these are smaller, go faster, and would stump that idiot in how they operate.

    Salmon on top?

    We have other branded spoons that look just like that. Not sure of the name, but I too have caught salmon on them in the fall.

    River fishing with kids

    We are nearing the end of the "easy" catching on the river time of year. If you are going to be in a boat, remember to look for eddy's that produce calm'ish water. That's where you will find the walleyes. If you put in at Fox Island, shoot directly west from the boat ramp. There's a large...
