    Big Head Carp

    You've got me with the ducks and bighead (never tried though), but paddlefish are damn good when properly cleaned and baked/broiled. Take a 3x3 or 4x4 square of paddlefish filet sans any spec of red/pink meat. Place on a broiler sheet, add a generous tab of butter to the top and season with...

    Lighning Bugs

    Yep, they've been hanging around my place for about a week now. I don't have a lot of them, but they're fun to stumble across.

    WASP supernest

    For the lack of a better term, a house down the street from me back when I lived in Grand Forks had something of a supernest built into it. It was found as they tore off the roofing to put on a new layer of shingles. The wasps were so problematic (up in the eves, attic, etc) that the house was...

    New garage door opener?

    Those that are talking about the Torsion Bar stye openers are probably talking about the I-Drive series. They are OK even though they can be a pain to install and balance. One of the big negatives on them is that you should take the motor/gear assembly apart every couple years and grease the...

    Snoodie Goes To Alaska

    Beautiful work on those jigs, glad to see they cross species so nicely! Jealous, jealous, jealous...

    WTH??

    Yep, convective currents caused by different water temps. This is probably an extreme example of it, but it really is just the lake mixing water from some nearby deep/cold area with what is probably water temps in the low 60s at the surface elsewhere. - - - Updated - - - p.s. so that's the...

    weeds and fish

    I saw a fella out flyfishing for walleyes yesterday in an area that looked like it was weedy. He seemed to be catching more on whatever presentation he was using than our crawler harnesses.

    I think Darwin Awards are given posthumously. Meaning we can't win for past adventures despite our best efforts.

    Stocking fish

    I know where Lake 5 is, and that's about it for the specifics on the lake. But in answer to your question, I suspect there's something about the lake that simply suggests it's a good northern producer. Might be depth, rather the lack of it and existing forage base of minnows and stickelbacks...

    Rust removal and trailer help

    Ah, I've never tried that variety. I can see where those are more of a finesse for painting purposes tho. This is the variety I use going after copious amounts of rust.

    Rust removal and trailer help

    I have had a galvanized Karavan trailer under my Lund for the past 15 years. It looks like the day I bought it. Except for the black speckles of paint I got on it from running over a spray can, that shit won't come off without the galvanized surface coming with it. I already regret not...

    Yep, antlered WT for me in 3E2. It's been a good unit for me so far.

    Non-resident gratis??? Otherwise, I agree with 8andcounting...that's strange.

    Sad part of all this is I may have intentionally left out a couple of the dumber episodes of my ill-spent youth. Those generally take a few beers before I admit to them, even though I am pretty sure the statute of limitations that Wags worries about have long since taken effect. :cool: - - -...

    2019 Deer Season and Tags Set

    And you'd have to think the guy with 8 points and got turned down for a muzzleloader doe tag is quite crabby right now.

    That time I should have died...

    Remembering what I did as a teenager, and having kids that are now entering their teens makes me queasy! - - - Updated - - - Legally? That depends on your crime. With some spouses, infinity seems shorter.

    That time I should have died...

    Bonus round. When I was about 12, a couple friends and I decided to ride bike out to the New Town Marina one nice spring day. Along the way, one of us picked up about 8 ft of small chain that was laying on the highway west of New Town. Once we got to the marina, a couple of us ventured out on...

    Aye carumba, can open...worms everywhere. So many to choose from. 1. I, while not being a fan of heights, went parasailing in Thailand back in 1991. Nothing really unusual about my trip up and back down, it was the next guy. Rope broke and it destabilized him and I watched the guy splat...
