    It's all my fault, I picked this year to start an orchard.

    Suggestions for Northern Pike

    There is a causeway on the SW side of Alkaline that has a couple culverts under it. Fish so you have the wind at your back and there should be pike at the end of the culverts. I've walked out on the culverts (they aren't that long) and dropped a bobber right off the end with a minnow under...

    Trolling motor problems

    The Ipilot upgrade was around $450 when I did it some 5-6 years ago. It requires the clipping of wires and replacement of hardware in the motor's head. While you may be able to do it if you have some electrical skills, I would strongly recommend letting the Minnkota guy do it. He did mine...

    Bismarck water treatment plant

    It's not a Water Treatment Plant issue, it's a delivery issue. The city has allowed more development in a given area than they maybe should have, and then add in a relatively small mechanical breakdown and now that section (NW corner) of the city's distribution system got in a bind...

    Trolling motor problems

    I am pretty sure it's the pedal, been there...done that. I had a similar PD in age and the pedal just wore out, it's a metal sliding contact after all. I upgraded mine to an IPilot controller and that took away the ability to use the pedal. Actually, I am pretty sure I still have a fairly new...

    Do you Snapchat?

    Who knew this was gonna go south so quick? I...am...shocked! And the answer to the original stupid question is: No! I have a damn life, sometimes.

    grand forks tornadoes 6-7-2017

    Yes, there have been a number of touchdowns. I've seen the pics and videos, south of the Air Base, more down east of Northwood, etc, etc. Small ones, but they'd still wreck your day if it passed too close.

    Where were you born?

    Like Brian, I was born in Watford, but I grew up east of there about 40 miles fishing the big stream. As a young man, Watford was known as a Shiite hole as the oil center of ND (don't care what Tioga says, it was/is Watford).

    June 6, 1944

    Along that line, I am heading to Normandy this fall for an 8 day vacation. While I think I'll enjoy the trip, I am expecting to be the young'un of the group that's going.

    Boat ownership sucks

    I don't think I have ever willingly "updated" the software on my electronics. I figure the frigging manufacturer probably had the code about right when they brought the thing to market. I know software updates on my phones has probably led to me buying a new phone sooner than I would have...

    Pretty busy today

    I would think that this is a year in which a person should be fishing the hell out of shallow water (3-5 ft) up next to weeds in the water. And there's only so many of those 300,000 acres that fall into this description.

    Here we go again 2011 part 2

    Calling this a repeat of 2011 is not based in facts, by any stretch of the imagination. The mountain runoff is just starting to hit its stride as warm weather is forecast for the snow covered areas. Dean, where did you get the info that no oil wells were impacted until a stage of 24 ft? I am...

    Boat ownership sucks

    KDM knows of what he speaks, maybe in a week or two I will share my most recent outing. As is, I am not yet sure if it was good, bad, or something in between.

    Black Bear in the back yard!

    I don't remember where, but I saw a pic from an airplane of a bear up by Cavalier just in the past couple days as well.

    Wells County

    Well, I wouldn't say there's NO recourse. If the sheriff is implicated in the breaking of a law, BCI can surely investigate, as can the feds. If it just comes down to not liking the sheriff, well...it's an elected position. Take it to the voters or maybe even the county commission. We've...

    Lake elevations

    Indeed, we are just now seeing the summer rise on the Yellowstone. There is plenty of water coming in for the next few weeks!

    Slot limits and releasing big fish

    With the pure shit luck the kids and I have had so far this spring, we are keeping everything from here on out for the rest of the month. 18 lb eyes, sturgeon, pike, and even carp! Well, at least 2 of the 4.

    BB snobs unite

    I love BB's, and yes...I have pulled them on planers. Only a few times though, mostly because I wasn't sure if I should have been out in 17 ft of water, or fishing the mudline in 4 ft of water. I'd use a sparkplug if I thought I could catch a walleye on it!
