    Spun hub repair?

    Prop Works in Bismarck should be able to easily handle this for you.

    Backpack found at Heneger Landing

    This site is going to lose its reputation as a hangout for slimeballs with all this damn good behavior! Bump... - - - Updated - - - BTW, where is Henegar Landing? Sometimes people use a name for a boat ramp that isn't consistent with NDgFs, Lewis and Clark here in Bismarck is a good example.

    Found at Langlers boat ramp.

    Oh sweet Jeezus! I don't know how to react to this kind of honesty and good citizenry.... You are deserved of a couple bonus days of good fishing!

    Snagless set up for rocks

    If I was planning on fishing in the rocks, like a submerged section of riprap, I'd go with an in-line trolling sinker and an Aberdeen (wire) styly hook. I love those Aberdeen hooks for spinners and slow-death rigs. Rather than breaking off the line, it just straightens the hook and I keep my...

    Spoons, again...

    Hah hah hah, thanks but I'm still working my way through a bulk Cabelas Crap Cave purchase from 15+ years ago! And yep, while the son is off to the State Trap Tournament this weekend, the daughter is having a sleep over. So tomorrow may be another trip to that same shoreline with a couple of...

    Apple tree insecticide?

    It's called sodium lauryl sulfate. Heck of a surfactant. Basically, it suffocates the bugs as the small openings in their exoskeleton are full of water. Without it, the water tends to bead up and the insects can walk on water tension. Add just a little dish soap or shampoo and they sink and...

    Spoons, again...

    Hah, much closer to Bismarck than Canada. But I have to keep the GPS coordinates a bit on the down low as I got the Goose Lake treatment from a couple fellow anglers.

    Spoons, again...

    We all have our moments. Truth be told, I'd say that while I've had a couple days with solid weights, the ease at which the kids put up the numbers of good fish yesterday made it by far my/our best outing of the year so far.

    Spoons, again...

    Thanks everyone, it really was a fantastic afternoon on the shoreline! The kids were super excited with how it all played out, and I was even more pleased. Here's another pic of the bucket of fish: - - - Updated - - - note, that my fish are included in the bucket as well.

    Spoons, again...

    So the kids and I were going walleye fishing yesterday afternoon and as we hit the ramp I noticed a thunderstorm bearing down on us from about 45 minutes out (get a weather app with radar, it's great!). So not wanting to get caught on the water just minutes after putting in the boat, I decided...

    Stizo :)

    WW, I was thinking the same thing...about the unusual launching technique. I believe it may have been at Pouch's Point. Anyway, while we've never met, I learned many things from Stizo through that old website and am glad he found us.

    Amazing!!

    Yep, they taste the same as a 14 inch fish...because they are the same. The only thing you should be able to notice is that the texture is a little coarser (bigger flakes). And, of course, the bigger they get...the more they start tasting like a thermometer.

    Van Hook — maiden voyage

    If you can't find fish this time of year at Van Hook, you need to sell your boat. They will literally be off of every point, submerged island, and most flats out there. Finding the technique that works best for you and your setup (boat, speed, etc) is the bigger challenge, just know that they...

    Reels

    I used to love Shimano reels, then I seemed to develop bail issues with them, one by one. I've since gone the way of Pflueger, they really do feel different than the Shimano reels I once loved, but thus far they have been problem free. Someone up above also noted the "buy cheap and replace as...

    ND ELK tag auction

    I paid $20 for mine back in 2005, so with this rate of inflation it'll only be Bezos and Buffet getting tags next year.

    Slip Bobber on Sak?

    I've thought the same thing. Biggest difference though is that on Devils Lake I'd always use slip bobbers up in the trees, not quite the same shoreline along most of Sak even though I am pretty sure that if you found them concentrated off a point you'd be able to anchor up and go after them. -...

    Trolling with Spoons

    I grew up on Sak and we used spoons and Lazy Ikes a lot back in the 70s and 80s, like right before the bottom bouncer came around. The biggest problem with them is they twisted the hell out of your line, second biggest issue was the number of goldeyes that also hit them. Can you catch eyes...
