You have nothing to worry about, you're going to draw the non-resident deer tag up here about as often as you can plan on drawing the antelope tag down there.
I'm curious whom you'll get to snuggle with you up under the console. Might I suggest one of 2400's Coffee Baristas, otherwise some folks are gonna talk. Prolly gonna cost you more than a case of blue nummies though.
Disagree so so long as you're buying Perfekts, Denali, or Alaskan which are all made in Germany. I've got Kennetreks too, the best deal going right now today is Denalis @$80 off sale @ Cabelas right now. $239/pair is a steal.
Extra spots in the new fuse box are a godsend not just when adding new stuff, but also when gremlins appear in the older original wiring. I relish never having to dig for buried inline fuses.
The easy thing to do would be to run some 6-8ga wire from the battery to a new fuse block. Wire in a master power switch for the new fuse block while you're at it. No need to figure out what wires you can or can't tie into. Leave the factory wiring in place along with enough extra spots on...
Sear quickly @ 600+ @ 2min/side.
Move over indirect heat to an internal temp of ~130ish.
Bite the bullet and use a damned remote meat thermometer until you "know" WTF with your given cooking appliance.
The end.
Maybe some of the guys who've fished the great lakes can chime in here. I suspect in ND especially, there's a vast under fished population of temp sensitive fish. That said, I don't know for sure 'cause I've never tried.
Why not dedicate a rod/reel combo just for the thingamajig guy referenced? A shorty rod straight off the back maybe. Then control the rest of your lures out to the sides based upon thingamajig data.
