    Use of Sucker Minnows in ND

    They typically winter in the deepest pools and can still be caught with hook and line.

    Use of Sucker Minnows in ND

    I agree, but laws tend to govern the lowest denominator. If they’re available, people tend to use them wherever. Much like Tony Stewart can probably drive like a boss at 0.08, but some teeny bopper has a couple seltzers and takes out a family.

    Use of Sucker Minnows in ND

    You can use them on the Red River. Some small lakes and dams in ND are prone to white sucker overpopulation so they have been made illegal. If you want to use bigger bait in ND besides the Red, you need to get creek chubs.

    Purchasing new wheelhouse

    I have pretty much the same thing. I was going to sell it, but thought better of it after looking how crazy the new stuff was as far as price. No issues with the springs so far. It has been on some hell rides coming off snow filled lakes. I like the cedar inside a lot.

    Purchasing new wheelhouse

    I have never seen one first hand I guess. I would imagine they would have addressed this on newer models??? I know quality aluminum trailers don't have excessive issues. Strange. - - - Updated - - - I have a "Lodge" fish house that has good build quality. My only complaint is the weight...

    Purchasing new wheelhouse

    I'd go out of my way a bit to buy a Yeti. All aluminum construction will make it a much nicer pull, you eliminate rusty frame parts, and resale will be considerably better.

    Who is the baitcaster master????

    If you ever start thinking you're the bait caster master, there is likely a monster backlash in the near future.

    new kicker...

    The Suzuki kickers are black. They are good as well. They were first to go EFI so they pretty much had the market for a while.

    new kicker...

    Get a 15hp EFI Pro Kicker. 2019 or newer. EFI is WAY, WAY better than those little carburetors.

    Ice Auger

    I have one as well. She's got a big 10 inch Nils that puts the hurt on the ice.

    Winter Camping on the Ice - Anyone?

    I used to sleep in my permanent all the time, but it was RVIA certified with fully vented heat. Pulled that heavy SOB out after sleeping through a couple blizzards with the pickup pinned and snow coming over the hood. I enjoyed the hell out of it. Just something about having the rattle reels...

    Easy winter

    I was just talking to a guy about this today. The "law of averages" pretty much always prevails in our winter weather. It's the bastard that is a ND winter.

    What a difference 52 years make

    Whenever I get frustrated with rioters and the sort, I start watching the old Charles Bronson Death Wish movies.

    Technology in the outdoors- where is the line?

    I was just discussing this with a guy. I enjoy using electronics. It's been a lot of fun since I bought my first Vexilar and Lowrance HDS Gen 1 unit. That said, things are starting to get a little ridiculous. I see Garmin filed another patent that appears to be heading toward a Live 3D unit...

    Right hand shooter left eye dominate

    I'm so right eye dominant that my left eye has ever needed to be closed. If I ever lost my right eye, I'd be in the hurt bag.

    Dumb Ass

    I used a slingshot a lot as a kid. After a while you try to figure out all the things you can fling with it. At one point a buddy and I thought it would be cool to fling .22 rounds at old/abandoned equipment. We would peak over something, fling the round and duck back behind our barrier. The...

    Timing the market

    Buy quality and hold for the long term. One mistake I've made was trying to time Apple. Should have just owned it the last decade rather than owning and not owning it 5 times. Hindsight is always 20/20 though.

    Ice Fishing Boots and Socks

    I've gone this route as well. What has worked for me is a bit oversized Baffin boot and Heat Holder brand socks. If I am not going to be moving much at all(super late or super early boat fishing usually), I'll add one of those stick on the bottom of the boot toe "toe warmers". That has...

    Fluorocarbon lesson

    P-Line Floroice is usable on for spinning reels as it’s only fluorocarbon coated. True fluorocarbon should probably be left as a leader only or a bait casting line with heavier baits like bass or ocean apps. IMO
