    Sturgis Webcams, JR R U there

    By far the weakest rally I’ve experienced in 30 years here. Very noticeable lack of bikes. I know someone who lives on Lazelle and said the weekend was shockingly quiet. There are maybe 4 houses rented in my neighborhood. During the last big year, the 75th, there were probably 40. I don’t...

    Haze

    If you’ve been in the heavily forested areas of Canada, it’s no surprise how fires can get huge. I have no idea how you’d stop one in those northern jungles. Alberta has been dry for several years now. Drier than the 30’s they’re saying. There is going to be a lot more smoke this summer too...

    Can you say recession

    I fish Mobrdge a lot and it is far second fiddle to what I see at Sak. Parshall, Brendles, Van Hook are incredible with nice stuff. If there were oil wells on Standing Rock maybe it would compare. Regardless, I hope most were paid for with cash but guess not!

    Can you say recession

    My dad and I just discussed this. We fish many places in SD WY and ND. Nowhere has the quantity and quality of equipment like you see on Sakakawea. Not even close anywhere else.

    Can you say recession

    Everyone loves to point out the Inflation Reduction Act yet the bogus Covid stimulus seems to be forgotten. That free money handed out didn’t help, particularly here where we stayed working at it just went into pockets of the companies. $20 construction labor is starting wage at best. Again...

    Sak Van Hook Arm Fishing Reports?

    Fished the Hook this weekend. Water temps from 62-67. Maybe least amount of boats I’ve seen in June. Weird weather the whole time, nearly froze Saturday morning. Fishing wasn’t crazy, but we caught fish and nice ones at that. Caught fish in all depths but best was deep, 30’. The more bait...

    Lottery

    I grew up hunting the regular season, no youth season. It had its joys and was a staple in our calendar. But the world has changed and giving kids a wider opportunity to shoot a deer helps compete with all the other things that pull families in 10 different directions each fall. If you need...

    Oahe report Mobridge

    Isn’t it the Columnaris virus that kills them after spawn? Happened a few times in my memory.

    Sak Van Hook Arm Fishing Reports?

    Last year late ice off and they skyrocketed. Cool rainy and windy things are slow. Hope the hot weather next week turns the bite on.

    Tadpole Diving Weights?

    I have never looked at the Jet dive curves. Running 30’s short could work. Tadpole will pull a stick bait but nothing that pulls hard. I would pull floating raps or Husky Jerks. 45 feet back and you’re close to 20’ down.

    Tadpole Diving Weights?

    I have considered Jets but even then you need 100’ to get to depth right? Might as well buy some and throw them with the dipseys I never use lol.

    Tadpole Diving Weights?

    Does anyone use the Offshore Tadpole diving weights? Considering using them off boards to run short leads and reduce tangles. I think only minnowbaits will work as larger lures will trip the mechanism. I’ve used them for crappie trolling before with small jigs with success. Just haven’t...

    MR Crappie in Beaver Bay - south?

    The Oahe crappie boom was certainly mid 2010’s. A few years we caught tons around Mobridge. Now very few. Still a few but very limited.

    Runnings buys H o E

    Poorest snow year in years, 20k sleds, not hard to figure out. And Cat doesn’t make desirable Atv or Utv products so things are tough. Lots of this is coming to the toy market. Alumacraft just dumped 100 plus jobs. Cost of living is catching up.

    Uncut Angling Barotrauma Video

    I don’t have a ton of experience fishing deep. I had a stellar day several falls ago on a lake with crappies and walleyes. We were targeting the eyes in 36-40 feet and catching lots of crappies incidentally. We released both with basically all of them swimming away. Four hours later there...
