    Landing Net - Best Bang For The Buck

    I'm sorry Up Y'oars, but that made me smile. Mostly because it was good to hear that crap like that happens to others as well. I'm still piecing together my old extendable Frabill I bought years ago. I think it's on it's 3rd netting. Dakota Tackle would be the first place I stopped in...

    marine batteries

    If I remember correctly, the lead plates get coated in PbSO4 (lead sulfate) which 1. lowers the acidity of the battery acid, and 2. is not the elemental lead required for the battery to operate. Lead sulfate is very insoluble so once the battery plates get coated in it there's no cure other...

    Missouri river snow pack feed?

    http://www.nwd-mr.usace.army.mil/rcc/reports/twregfcast.pdf These are not unusual releases out of Garrison, by any stretch of the imagination. They are a little low for this time of year, but not that unusual. As far as releases out of Garrison being determined by spring runoff. Ummm, that's...

    marine batteries

    It doesn't seem to matter what the hell I use. I get 4-5 years out of WalMart batteries, and 4-5 years out of Interstate batteries. What I need to do is start putting in "new vehicle" batteries. Seems like every new vehicle I've ever had gets 6-7 years out of its first battery and then after...

    Missouri river snow pack feed?

    Umm, what? Last time I checked Washburn is below Garrison dam and the water that runs by there is pretty much only the release out of Garrison Dam. Have they not lived there very long?

    Slow death hook brands

    Yep, I have made my own while out on the water using a long-shanked mustad hook. Worked just fine, all you are doing is trying to get the crawler to spin a little and that doesn't take much. A simple leatherman or other needle-nosed pliers will suffice.

    Who is in favor of slot limits

    I suppose we could double our license fees so the NDGF can put in manned check stations at every boat ramp from April 1st through March 31st. That should help them get better numbers.

    Awards

    Well, this just cost me 45 seconds of my life. Plus another 15 seconds for this post that adds nothing to the thread overall.

    Interesting evening fishing

    Thanks for reminding me. I saw them here in Bismarck for about $99 a few months back. I need to get one before camping season begins as I'll be breaking in a new directions giver.

    Who is in favor of slot limits

    I've been with you the whole time. But you're right, it seems the anti-slots side has either gained supporters, or found their voice.

    Who is in favor of slot limits

    Here's how slot limits "hurt" a fishery. Let's say I am a not particularly good fisherman (easily believable), and I am going to catch and keep the first 5 fish that come into the boat. I catch a 15, 15, 17, 20, and 25 inch limit of eyes. If there's a slot that says I can only keep 17-20"...

    Who is in favor of slot limits

    Yep, water levels and substrate are a hell of a lot more important. It is far better to have 10% of the vast number of eggs laid in any given year survive than it is to have 0.005% survive, even with onerous slot limits that produce more eggs.
