    Ion auger, what a piece of sh!t!

    I would never buy an ION just because your only option is shaver blades. Shaver blades work great in clean ice but if you hit any dirt they are done for. I have the Honda Strike master and also have the 8" chipper for it. I use the chipper on Oahe or usually any time i try a new lake, If i know...

    Ice Fishing Suits

    I good pair of ice fishing Bibs definitely make life easier, padded knees are awesome! They also work great for spring/fall fishing, snow blowing etc. I have the black Ice Force bibs from Strikemaster and i'm pretty sure these things might last the rest of my life(they are discontinued now...

    Otter XT Hideout?

    I think cottage weighs 80, so yeah it is heavier. My issue with hideout would be is the sled big enough to put anything in? I run pretty lightweight and i still manage to fill my cabin sled early ice once you throw in auger, 11# tank, portable buddy, minnows, bucket, rods, lunch bag etc.

    Otter XT Hideout?

    It does seem like a weird little shelter, its to small for what i like IMO. I actually use an otter cabin as my one man though. I think id strongly consider the cottage over the hideout. Can get the cottage pro at Reeds for $489

    Panfish presentations

    I haven't had any luck this year on tungsten/plastics. I did decent last year, but for some reason i seem to only be able to catch on dead sticks this year.

    Deal Alert!

    Just to warn you not all milk crates are created equal. Usually if they come in fancy colors and designs they are not the true milk crates and are just meant for storage and will break easily in the cold. The real deal are getting tougher to find, I got mine at Tractor Supply last year.

    Ahh…wut do yu tink? Dis one or dat one?

    I figured that would be your response...haha. I'm not a big clam guy either, but i have no experience with Eskimo or Frabill houses either so I guess i would just go by what i'm looking for size wise. My buddy has the 1660 thermal and i fished in it once this year. It is pretty damn sweet and...

    Legislature Debates Deadly Force Bill

    This bill seems like a bit of an over reach to me. Shooting someone for trespassing, or petty theft? I think the law is fine as it stands now for the most part. I don't see this passing.

    Kdrill update and review

    I think if you wait for the right deals you can get the setup for under $500. But then you also have a top of the line drill for the rest of the year. I keep hoping my craftsman drill takes a dump so I have an excuse to get the Milwaukee

    Winter Lull

    Everyone is always wishing for the next season. Slow down, drink a scotch and enjoy this slower time of year. I still have some Jumbo perch to catch! Tip: plan a trip in February to break up the monotony. Go to the mountains if you ski or to a beach if you don't.

    2017 Ice Fishing Contest

    Maybe i'm not very smart but where is the "submission form" and what fish qualify? You had it listed in the early season contest thread, but it looks like its gone.

    What are your thoughts on this?

    I guess on a place like Oahe where they aren't stocked and rely completely on natural reproduction It seems that releasing adults or reducing a limit to 5 would keep more breeding adults in the system and therefore more fish would make it through winter every year creating domino effect. Who...

    What are your thoughts on this?

    Keep a few for the frying pan, throw a few back. IMO once you switch from the mentality of "fishing for a limit" and just start fishing for fun you will enjoy yourself more. I wouldn't mind seeing limits reduced for many fish....except those F'n pike of course:D. I sometimes ponder what some...
