    Shooting feral cats (legal?)

    I agree with Guy, if I see a cat on my place more than once, I had better have seen it at the neighbor's house at least once. Or it best be wearing a very visible collar. Feral cats are hell on birds, and I prefer birds over cats.

    Fishing toon

    Yeah, there was no dock at the lake we were on that day. Lots of frigging rocks on the downwind side of the ramp though. Here's a new question to the toon owners. How long of a shaft do you need on a pontoon for a trolling motor? I am accustomed to putting 60" shaft motors on my boats...

    Fishing toon

    I was not unhappy at all with the control on the 20 mph day, it was a little tough on the 30 mph wind day. It can only get better though as I get more practice with it. It took me two tries to stab the toon on the bunks with the wind almost perfectly crosswise. The first was a bad miss, but I...

    Dont buy Lund boats or from Vallely Marine

    I think I've gathered that I need a quart or two of this clear coat shit. Slapping a little of that crap on yer boat is the next best thing to wrapping it up in Superman's cape.

    Fishing toon

    There were 4 of us on board. About 580 pounds of people and a full 35 gallons of gas. I still have to add a trolling motor and two batteries, then she'll be at her fighting weight. Shorts, 32 mph at top speed. - - - Updated - - - And about 75 mph once on the trailer.

    Tree Tubes for Apple trees

    Deer will still go after the small twigs with tree tubes on them. You can help prevent deer from going after the trees by putting some cheap stakes around the trees and "fencing" the tree in with fishing line. They don't seem to like the fishing line. If you put wire around them they can...

    Fishing toon

    It's just gonna get stuck on that damn rapala. ;:;banghead Actually, once I fish that SOB out of there, that is kind of the way I planned on tackling this. Custom cut a piece of something rubbery or plastic'y and that should fix the problem. - - - Updated - - - Thankfully, I have an 18 inch...

    Favorite gas station snack

    Or their jalapeno corndogs. Just enough zing! Actually just had two for lunch.

    Fishing toon

    Ok, so here's the update. I ended up buying a 2013, South Bay model 522F tri-toon with a 150 Merc 4-Stroke. I have had it out twice now, both times in some fairly unpleasant conditions, one day with 30+ mph gusts, and then again this past Saturday with some 15-20 mph winds. Haven't caught a...

    Dont buy Lund boats or from Vallely Marine

    ndfinfan, It really isn't that bad. So long as you are fishing mostly the Bismarck area, there aren't that many rocks to worry about. Lots of sand though, and a few spots where there are deadheads. So long as you go slow and learn, you will be fine. I call it driving by braille as I...

    Dont buy Lund boats or from Vallely Marine

    Maybe I missed the point, but a picture of a Ranger with a caption saying "If it would of been a ranger it would of made it" makes me wonder if the person who wrote the caption recognized what kind of boat was in the pic.

    Dont buy Lund boats or from Vallely Marine

    Holy cow, I high centered my Lund on a large rock last year when a 30 mph crosswind got the best of me at a ramp. It sounded and felt like I was doing some major harm to the boat as it teeter-tottered for 30 seconds. When I got it on the trailer and went to inspect it, I was amazed at how...

    Bimini tops

    If you get one that fits your boat well they are awesome. Like noted already, they inhibit fishing and they aren't good in the early morning or late afternoon as the sun is at a decent enough angle to peek under the bimini. Another option is a beach umbrella. Yep, I have a bimini top for...

    Boat Rod holders

    Ram are probably the best out there, but there are also Fish-On and Scotty rod holders. All are adjustable angles and strong enough to hold a catfish at bay. If you are using spinning reels, I prefer Ram. The Fish-On and Scotty holders are OK, but are better left to baitcasters, IMHO...

    fish sausage

    Yes, I have had pike cakes in the past. They aren't bad, and if you know what you're doing I would think they could be quite good. - - - Updated - - - It was the smell of cornbread coating in oil. Like a hound dog, I used my nose and tracked that sucker down from 200 yards away at a busy...

    Where do you frosty beverages reside?

    Just another reason why Lund's are superior floaters. - - - Updated - - - Note, I'd hand my beer to my girlfriend but she'd drink it. So in the odd chance that I get a bite, I just slam the remaining beverage before setting the hook.

    fish sausage

    I had a corndog in Japan made with a fish hotdog. One of the worst dietary choices I have ever had sprung on me.

    1997 Flood

    Oddly enough, I helped him graduate. Hoping that he would leave GF as I was just starting to work fulltime for UND. Last I heard he was making bank out in the oilpatch and still living in a dump of an apartment in GF (that's been a while ago though). Oh the frigging stories I have of that...
