    Humminbird helix ice 5

    i'm honestly not sure, i just came across the info while looking for other stuff. I believe the ice ducer with ice 5 has a 9 and 19 degree cone angel. I want to say the smallest on the normal helix is 20 degrees. I just saw some guys complaining about it. - - - Updated - - - The ice 5 doesn't...

    Humminbird helix ice 5

    Yep, should just need the ice ducer and a new power cord (PC-10) to hook to Vex battery. One thing i have heard about the helix is that only the ice version has the duel beam sonar. The open water versions supposedly are only single beam and not overly effective if you are in deeper water at...

    Well this is going to get interesting

    The only reason I have WLL is from a long held position in Kodiak. I have small positions left in WLL and CLR after making plenty of money since 2009. Don't feel the need to stick more in oil at the moment. One flinch from OPEC and WLL will be back at $6

    Well this is going to get interesting

    It still has a loooong way to go. Still not even a 52 week high. I guess if you timed it right you could be up 300%

    What do you want to try this ice fishing season?

    If your talking about Rice lake in Emmons county, south of Strasburg, that lake gets hit quite a bit. I had heard they were doing decent about 2-3 years ago down there. I went and only caught two tiny perch, it was actually my worst trip all year. I did have some great perch fishing about 15...

    next storm commin...

    Well it looks like they actually got this storm right, they may have even underestimated it. I can't remember the last time we had a 3 day storm like this. Sounds like we have about 12" so far in Bismarck, calling for up to 18" now.

    next storm commin...

    I would say i had about 5" at my house in NW Bismarck. I left my house at 7:20 and got to work in south Bismarck at 7:45. I made sure i got on the road before the main rush hit. I actually only saw one car having an issue on a side street. Its about time we give these protesters a "North Dakota...

    What do you want to try this ice fishing season?

    My goal every year is to try new waters. Lived here 33 years and still manage to find new lakes every year. The last few years have been the best ice fishing I've seen. Love the adventure of finding big walleye or perch on random small lakes. I plan to make a few trips for trout this year which...

    Hummingbird 998c to 4 Wheeler for Ice fishing?

    I just hooked a helix 7 up to my ATV. I used a RAM handle bar mount and then wired it to a separate vexilar battery. I ran the wires under the plastics and back into my Otter box on the back where i will have my battery mounted. Can also run LEDS for my otter box off it then if i want. I think...

    Pheasant Tail Feathers???

    tip to tip, and yes 25" is large. Ive got two at about 23.5" this year, 24" is about the biggest I've shot. I always wonder when you hear of these guys that claim upper 20's to over 30". However i drive by some every day around Bismarck that make me wonder!!

    Shimano Discontinuing Sienna FD

    It looks like they revamped their line of reels, including the sienna and sedona, unfortunately at this time it doesn't look like any of them come in the 500 model. Will be interesting to see if that changes.

    Typical Ice Up?

    It looks like starting Dec 1st, the temps are supposed to be highs around freezing, lows in the teens for Bismarck area. Might be on the ice the weekend of the 10th, if not 17th for sure. Last year i was on 5" on the 5th, the year before i was driving on thanksgiving weekend!

    Electric bills

    ND is just not a great place for Solar from the maps I've seen. I think we are more of a wind/geothermal state if your looking for renewable energy. I have all CFL bulbs in my house, haven't looked to much at LED yet becasue my CFL's wont burn out. I will probably go LED once they do. I have...

    Flip over fish house accessories

    I don't think it would be possible to wear out the hi-fax for the otters on the ice. Maybe if you drug it 5 miles to the lake on asphalt every time you went fishing. One tip, put them on the sled first before you even begin assembling the house. It's a PITA after you have the house together. Hi...

    Alaska Adventure~

    That's on my bucket list. The logistics of unguided seem overwhelming though. Id probably just say eff it, and do a week long guided trip on the Kanektok, but it ain't cheap!

    favorite ice rod locker holder

    I have a Scheels (red/black) case that i think is pretty good if you get it for half price, $40 which they usually run once or twice a year. I also bought an otter case to go on my otter ATV box. I think the otter case is a must have if you have an otter box, but other than that i think its a...

    Otter Cabin vs Otter Lodge

    I have a cabin with bench seat. I'd consider it a big one man, not sure I would want to sit in it with another adult to often. I actually keep the bench out most of the time because it's heavy as hell. I think the bench would be good if you have kids though. The perfect set up would be the cabin...
