    Hydrofoils

    Do you have a tach? That is really the only place to start when talking about props. I am not a fan of foils. That said, on my boat it makes a big difference in low speed planning and porposing. I've moved the motor up/down, go through a lot of props, and the best performance comes from the...

    Shad vs ...

    I do think there are times where a profile matched crank will outperform others. But, I also think a bait presented at the depth the fish are feeding in, in the general speed range, and in a color they like, will catch fish regardless of profile. Color for me has been a much more important...

    Boat/Pontoon Freezing into Ice

    I've broken up to 1/2" during late fall and wouldn't want to break anymore. I don't see an inch of ice being an issue though. Breaking that 1/2" sounds like you're tearing the bottom of the boat off LOL! But yes, the motor should be down. No freezing worries then.

    One of my favorite teachers...

    In my opinion there is a line between being tough, fair, and reasonable to a child versus being mean and demeaning. I've spent time in the profession and it's probably the most challenging job I've ever done. Kids are much different than what we were and can't be challenged the way we were in...

    Header. Will my house collapse?

    Agree, not enough info. That said, I would have put an LVL in for a header instead. The truss company would have to tell you for sure but I'm guessing a dbl. LVL would carry it even if loaded from the floor above. I am also making the assumption there is a footing below that wall as it is...

    Wedding diet.......

    Simplify first. Calories in, calories out (burned). It's really pretty simple. Manage your intake and burn more than you consume. I can eat relatively healthy (but far from perfect) while exercising a lot and I can really lean up quick. But, that last 5# is the hardest to overcome, I am...

    The tiny house craze.......

    Interesting points of view. I couldn't live in one that small, however I do understand the want to live with little to no debt. That said, I live in a 1000 sf house (unfinished basement) with 2 car garage. I have a storage shed for my boat and other gear. We bought the house at the right...

    The tiny house craze.......

    What does everyone think about the new tiny house craze? Watching HGTV tonight and watching these folks look for tiny houses was interesting. Living in a "house" that is 100-250 sq. ft. is interesting. The concept is interesting to me but not realistic in many ways as well. I have designed...

    Garden?

    I just planted all my onions today. Garlic is coming up nicely that I planted last fall. Did a spring planting of garlic as well just to see what I can come up with. Tomatoes, peppers, and celery (first time trying), and the herb garden is planted and waiting for the good weather on top of...

    Who is in favor of slot limits

    The answer to the minimum size restriction is no in lakes that receive moderate to high pressure. The over fish get taken as soon as they become legal size and soon you get a pile of fish right below the legal limit. Few get to grow up beyond that. The lake has to be able to produce a huge...

    Who is in favor of slot limits

    http://gf.nd.gov/magazines/may-2013/weighing-effects-length-limits The above article does a good job of explaining each. I fish a lake in W SD that has a slot. Lake was a minimum length lake but changed to a slot. It gets a ton of pressure and harvest. The slot has been good for fishing but...

    Booyah rig

    I've tried trolling umbrella rigs and it's just too much drag for me. Didn't light the world on fire either as far as catching. That setup looks good though, let us know how it goes.

    Standing Rock Deer tags

    OK lets simplify- those are deer of a lifetime in that area. You will have a shot at one sometime, but it won't be every year or two or ten. The average is much, much less. Yes, some guys always kill a big one. But that is the case anywhere. Far as numbers I can't comment on ND. However...

    Standing Rock Deer tags

    I know those deer are legit. They're just not representative of the average deer found there. Far from it in fact. The state gave out 432 tags in Corson County to Residents and non residents. 108 any deer, rest were any whitetail. Plus whatever ND gave out. So take that 550 for...

    Standing Rock Deer tags

    How many mule deer tags did the tribe sell? 550? Are you serious? The state has given out 50 or 100 any deer tags per year for the last several for all of Corson County. Unless I misunderstood the number of 550 correct me, but that is simply gross negligence on their part. There are nowhere...

    Macks smile blades or Spinners?

    I have had really good success on Smile blades. This summer had a few days where they drastically outproduced spinners. Hot, calm days where the fish didn't want to react. Otherwise I would say they are similar in success for me. Yes, you can't fish them to 2mph but you sure can pull them...

    spinner database...

    14# to 17# XT. Keeps the tangles minimized. I tried the 6# and 8# spinners and won't go back again. Much fewer messes with heavier line.

    Old Fashioned

    I used to drink Old Fashion's. It seems bartenders these days struggle with them....about 1 in 8 I get anymore is worth drinking. And I'm getting too old for the hard stuff LOL.
