    Sturgis~

    The scourge is here, though I would say numbers are lighter than expected. The canyon is busy, Main Street is full, but not crazy by any stretch. Even saw 4 bikes riding together, 8 dudes total. The world is changing lol! mostly good interactions so far, did get blocked into my parking spot...

    Snap weight clips?

    Thanks for the replies. I am going to get more Scheels clips. The Church ones are easy to take on and off but aren't 100% on staying on. Cabelas seem to come undone pretty easy. The Offshores are nice but I have lost them too. The Scheels clips are good for the $$$ and though they are a bit...

    I need a seasickness solution

    I'd be curious to hear too. My dad has the issue sometimes on the rougher days. I pretty much can't let him look down for too long or he will get sick. Green is no understatement, we were catching fish like crazy in a crosswind of BIG waves several years ago and he was dang near green in...

    Snap weight clips?

    What have you found to be the best snap weight clips? I use PowerPro and the Church clips and Cabelas clips don't slide. But I have lost a few for unknown reasons. I have some Scheels clips but have not used them. The Offshore clips with the pins are nice but are the most costly. Any other...

    Pouch Point Ramp status?

    Can anyone tell me if the Pouch Point boat ramp is useable? NDGF page says not but have heard it might be ok. Looking to fish from a new access point. Thanks!

    Corner jumping court case.

    There is a good Meateater podcast with the hunters on it. Their side of the story is pretty clean. They got the ok from law enforcement multiple times throughout the hunt. They were harassed like crazy but told they were ok until the end. The civil case above is going to be interesting.

    Help with plastics for walleyes....

    I've kinda passed through my phase of plastics this spring with little luck. Now that summer is full on here I'm using other tactics. This fallw when the vertical bite comes on I'll keep plodding along with plastics, and again in the spring. Thanks for the help!

    Lake Oahe

    Absolutely! It's easy to fish the memories, and the memories of the days before the flood are fond to say the least. Like I said, you have a chance at a big, big fish. But the average isn't Oahe of old. One day it'll be back. But catching any fish is still better than a day of work!

    Lake Oahe

    Had a friend in the Pollock to State Line area last week. They caught one good fish a day, the rest were generally less than 14" with a lot of 10-12" fish. They caught plenty, just not much for size. He said that a 15" limit was "good" fish, they had a couple days where they didn't even get...

    Help with plastics for walleyes....

    I'm fishing mainly the Missouri River reservoirs, or similar. I've tried to work plastics into any jig/bait technique I can. I've pitched 1/8oz jigs shallow during spawn time, vertical jigged deep early with heavier jigs, casted and worked mid depths that we were catching fish on with bait...

    Help with plastics for walleyes....

    I've tried to make a concerted effort to use plastics this spring for walleyes. I've used them sporadically in the past with decent results, but without too much effort. Yet this spring I've really struggled. Live bait is still winning 5-1 on plastics for me. I've tried fishing them the same...

    Brisket Help...

    Sous vide. Only way I've been able to make consistent brisket. There seems to be more variability in brisket than any other cut.

    Garden!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    With your oilseed varieties, many can grow large heads. But it all depends on your planted population. Most of the guys I know down here push for a higher population as they say that means smaller, faster drying heads. A lower population usually results in larger heads, or so they say. My...

    Pole Building

    To be honest, costs from other than the last week mean little right now. I'd have to dig through a couple builds (bardominum styles) to figure it out. But it is insane right now. Steel is incredibly high right now, price increases every month. Lumber is too. It changes so fast and the...

    SD Nonresident Fishing License ...WOW$$

    There were a few things floating around the legislature on this during the last session. Demand, particularly since COVID, has far outpaced supply of campsites with lots of folks angry that sites aren't more easily reserved. I think they shot down a two week advantage for residents during the...

    SD Nonresident Fishing License ...WOW$$

    Interesting read on the boat ramp part. In SD, basically all the ramps I use are part of state parks or lakeside use areas, both of which require a state park entrance fee or yearly pass. I get one for both my truck and the wife's vehicle. I've never even thought of the fact that when I fish...

    SD Nonresident Fishing License ...WOW$$

    ND has the best value by far in NR fishing licenses. I pay about $116 for my WY yearly license, and do so happily. If it's only a few days a year, the daily licenses are still cheap. I'd like to see family fishing licenses available though.

    April Blizzard Predicted next week

    I get it, storm after storm just wears a family down. During that winter of 96-97, the snow came the third Sunday of October in our neck of the prairie. And it never stopped snowing or blowing for months it seemed. Hay couldn't be hauled, cattle couldn't be accessed to move them home or to...

    April Blizzard Predicted next week

    Hoping it dumps a bunch on W SD before it piss pounds ND again. We need every bit we can get! An inch of rain will at least mean some grass and a first cutting of hay. Models are looking impressive depending on where it lands!
