    Audubon transition?

    I've spoken with the game and fish on this subject. It's in the works that Audubon will be stocked with 300k walleye fingerlings in 2022. The reasons for not stocking the last few years were slow growth rate, high abundance of small fish, lower condition (skinny) fish, and good natural...

    Help with plastics for walleyes....

    If we are strictly talking jig fishing when discussing plastics, I think jig size and cadence makes a lot bigger difference than what is being used as "bait". All comes down to the mood of the fish. I had a couple instances this spring where plastics outfished minnows massively. It seemed the...

    Sakakawea Outlook 2022?

    Does anyone have reports on boat ramp access on the East end of Sak? Wondering what ramps are usable, I'm assuming there is still snow causing issues. Are any docks in?

    Getting Started Trolling Cranks

    Do you use mono or braid with snap weights? I try to use braid whenever possible, but I've heard that the snap weight clips often slip on braid. Is wrapping around the clip a possibility, or would that be a massive PIA when trying to unclip to reel a fish in? Thanks for any info.

    Cranking Battery

    I bought one of those lithium portable jump start packs for this reason. Also bring it with when taking the side-by-side on longer ice fishing adventures. I have yet to use it though, hoping it works when I need it.

    Casting rod

    I'm planning on picking up either a Scheels ONE or the split grip walleye series over fish fest. I'm stuck to 6'6 though because that's the longest that'll fit in my rod locker.

    Getting Started Trolling Cranks

    What do you guys use for replacement trebles on cranks? I have a number of cranks in need of new trebles, wondering if I should go with berkley fusion 19s or something else.

    Cranking Battery

    I had a group 24 deep cycle (standard deep cycle, not dual purpose) as a starting battery in my boat and never had an issue. It ran a 140hp outboard, 9.9 kicker, and two helix 7s. It got old so I just replaced it recently with a group 27 deep cycle.

    Getting Started Trolling Cranks

    I'm in the same boat as you, pretty new to cranking trying to gain experience. I currently use 2 7'6 rods with braid out the sides and 2 5' rods out the back with leadcore. All my rods are the cabelas depthmaster trolling rods and reels are okuma magda pro line counters. Slowly trying to build...

    April Blizzard Predicted next week

    Hard to believe I was fishing out of my boat in north Audubon on Sunday. Now there's a drift in front of my shop almost as tall as the 13' door.

    Ready for open water~

    I've caught myself looking at the boat in the shop quite a bit the last couple weeks... On the bright side, walleye fishing should pick up soon for late ice. I don't have a whole lot to get ready for this boat season, I'm sure I'll tie up a few more spinners that I don't need and re-tie leaders...

    Boat windshield cover

    There's a truxedo on bisman for $110. https://www.bismanonline.com/mandan_nd/truxedo_boat_windshield_cover_25_x_106_good_co I haven't had any problems with my truxedo windshield cover, has a few nicks in it where you can tell it took a decent sized rock. Worth the money and I can say it has...

    The End?

    I meant bait caster style reels on the right. Should've been more specific.
