    Axel Spindle Question

    So long as it's nowhere near where the seal rides, leave it. No harm, no foul kind of deal.

    What lakes can you catch zander on in ND?

    In ND it's only Spiritwood Lake that has since swollen and joined with Alkali Lake over in Stutsman county. Sander_lucioperca_WEB_9-15-2014.pdf (fws.gov) There was a relatively undocumented stocking of a couple "ponds" in New York as well back in the 70s.

    Deadstick Fishing in Current

    Without a lot of details (weight you are using and bobber size), CatDaddy is right on with the general recommendation. The key to bobber fishing is to use the smallest one that works, not the smallest one in the tackle box. I REALLY try hard to not icefish where there's much current, but...

    First Aid Kits

    I did/do for the dog during hunting season, but for personal use I just go with something in the $20 range and add in some of those stretchy wraps. Key things I want are lots of bandaids, OTC meds like cold meds, ibuprofen, sting and bite stuff, and neosporin.

    Yep, I also have about 6-8 Scotty mounts on my Toon. I like them.

    Lawmakers Meals

    Shorts post suggests a much lower cost for health insurance. 826 vs 1400 is not trivial. Look, I'm not saying we should make the bastidges rich, but when this kind of stuff comes up I get worried about the restrictions we are putting on people willing to run.

    Lawmakers Meals

    After looking some more, I suspect shorts numbers on average wage are better. Other than that, I don't know why he muddied the waters with dumb shit and especially Minnetucky stuff. Nonetheless, Kurtr's point of if it were such a lucrative gig holds water. Anyone can run if they think it's a...

    Lawmakers Meals

    $186 per day, assuming an 8 hr work day is $23.25 an hour. The average wage in ND is currently $33.69 an hour. Q: What Is the Average Average Salary by State in 2021? (ziprecruiter.com) So let's not kid ourselves into thinking the lawmakers are making more than "most of their constituents"...

    Ice conditions

    There have been years like 2012 where the river in Bismarck never froze over. I know, I was fishing in the boat the 3rd week of Jan, 20112. Given the weather forecast, there's a decent chance we will develop ice cover next week.

    Free range chickens

    Subtract the wild and you have dark, flavorful chicken. Tame ducks are great, wild...not so much. - - - Updated - - - I think he's being facetious. I have a few birds and it costs me well under a dollar for a dozen eggs during the summer. In the winter you have to add light/heat to get...

    Lawmakers Meals

    I may be in the minority here, but every employer I've ever had (exception being farmers) has paid my room and board when I had to travel away from home for work. Why would we think our legislators, who are being asked to travel to Bismarck for work are somehow not deserved of the same...

    Sak Salmon

    Ha ha, my car warranty is not up for discussion! Nor will I fear whatever SSN, tax, or bank scam you'd be calling me with anyway. I'll just let you listen to Johnny Cash until I wanna mess with ya.

    Lake Havasu Fishing?

    He no longer has a login for Nodak, at least...I don't think he does.

    Lake Havasu Fishing?

    Yeah, BobKat is down there absolutely slaying some nice sized striped bass. He has been for several weeks now. I don't know of any guides (only been there a couple times myself), but there are fishing piers and quite a bit of shore access off the island near London Bridge.

    New Land Bills: SB 2036, 2037 and 2038

    It is in response to some dumbass who built a house RIGHT NEXT TO the Hazelton boat ramp south of Bismarck. He even tried to get the ramp closed in between certain hours. The guy who runs the airboat is a bowfisherman chasing carp up in the shallows.

    New cranking battery

    Personally, I am not sure there is such a thing as a bad brand of batteries nowadays. I used to think so, so I would spend big bucks getting Interstate, or whatever other battery had really good ratings. Then I found out I had something like 14 frigging batteries between all of my "stuff". So...

    Sak Salmon

    I have seen several salmon caught on spoons in early Sept by people casting in the Lake Sakakawea St Park bay, and over in Gov't bay to the east. I think the number of people who truly have salmon figured out in ND can be counted on my phalanges.

    Garage Attic Access

    If you don't really want to use the attic as storage, you could take that piece of sheetrock down that serves as the hatch cover, reinforce it with plywood on the topside, add a layer of polystyrene insulation, and install hinges along with a latch to keep it closed. I did this at my last place...

    Audubon

    I don't know about any sinking, but the wind created a bunch of carnage on fish houses over the past couple days. Tipped over houses etc.
