    Building a new house

    Make sure you also put in bigger garage doors! If going with the usual double door get an 18' rather than the standard 16'. Also on the third stall put in a 10' door. Most boats are 100-102" wide on trailer these days. A 9' foot door with trim doesn't give much if any clearance. Get hot/cold...

    Pics of Your Fishing Chariot

    Picked up this new Ice fishing Chariot this spring. Did manage to get it out twice before the ice left, but she's ready to go next year!

    Dealerships ads

    I have to ask why you would even consider this and not just sell it yourself. There is absolutely no way you will get even close to private party value. They have to make money on it as well, and since they are not offsetting it with a car sale to you, it will be worse than a normal trade in...

    Tobacco Gardens Tourny????

    I'm not sure if that's funny or sad.

    This a good deal on a Hummingbird?

    I'm assuming this is just an older discontinued model? You can get the new Helix 5 DI for $350, so not sure this is really that great of a deal.

    Whats your max wind speed?

    Amen! A hot, calm day dealing with bugs on Sak can be absolutely miserable.

    Whats your max wind speed?

    I wasn't beating my chest, more laughing and shaking my head at myself. But when you've driven 2 hours and know where the fish are sometimes its hard to say no. As I stated in my first post, i don't go out above 25 anymore. You are correct in how many people seem oblivious to forecasts and...

    Whats your max wind speed?

    You must not fish much if you don't go out above 12 mph. I've had some amazing days on flat calm and also in 35 mph winds that no man should have been out. One time in particular at deepwater there was not a single boat outside of the bay. We stopped for a second and said eff it and kept going...

    Whats your max wind speed?

    When it comes to wind there are no guarantees. Check NOAA the night before and in the morning before you leave. Having said that you should be fine in Mckenzie bay. Just do whatever is in your comfort level. If winds say 25, i don't go.

    Anyone ever had this happen.

    The plug in my Lund is easily inserted from the inside through a screw out hatch in the transom. Its also the same plug as my livewell so i have a quick swap if i would forget/lose it. I never have forgotten it, but with the new law it may be more likely. I never pulled my plug in the past as...

    Old Town Predator XL Minn Kota Kayak

    I didn't call and complain, but from what i read on another site they were telling everyone to stick it. One guy even said they told him they were giving him a gift card and then they called back later and told him they weren't.

    Old Town Predator XL Minn Kota Kayak

    Well my order for the Kayak was cancelled. Can't say i'm surprised, it looks like this deal hit some of the deal websites and several hundred were probably ordered. Cabales would have lost over a grand on each one. I will say that just by doing some research, it seems like this is becoming an...

    ND fishing lodge. Profit or bust?

    Part of the reason I love Sak is because its not lined with resorts and cabins attracting all the out of state riff-raff. It also makes it feel more remote and adventurous. I think it would be damn near impossible to start something from scratch on Sak. I've been going to Indian Hills my entire...

    Where do you get your weather?

    The problem is most of the forecasts don't include gusts. This is the main reason i use NWS. They will say wind 10-15 gusting to 25. Where most will just say wind 10-15. I've literally gotten into arguments with buddy's who wanted to go fishing because the forecast they look at said 10-20 winds...

    Where do you get your weather?

    National Weather Service is by far the best IMO. Weather Underground is decent to. I believe on their app you have a choice of their forecast or can switch it to NWS. Weather Channel and Accuweather are worthless. I used to compare all four. Now just pretty much look at NWS.

    Worst tasting fish

    Any chance you would like to share your recipe? I have one pretty good one but am always looking for another. My current recipe is basically just a really good white sauce for the tacos. Of course you have to add shredded cabbage, pico, lime juice on top yet and it makes a fine fish taco. Ill...

    Worst tasting fish

    My biggest question is why do you guys subject yourself to the cruel and unusual punishment of eating some of these fish? I'm not exactly a fish snob, but when there are copious amounts of walleye, perch, cold water pike to catch, i have never even considered eating a rough fish. Are you guys...

    Hookers save lives

    I guess if your planning on killing yourself you might as well do a few crazy/reckless things beforehand. You might end up being enlightened like this guy. Cocaine is a hell of a drug!!

    Have you had the boat out yet?

    I've been out 10 times. Nice thing about living in Bismarck, ice fishing and open water overlap. No down time!
