    Sauger Spawn

    Right, that is why there is such a thing as a saugeye, There are fish every year that do not lay their eggs as Mother Nature designed them to do. They eventually just absorb them. Some do it because of injury, others???

    Why come to ND when there’s lake of the woods

    Right there is the answer. I've not eaten one in many years, but early spring (cold water) bullheads are quite edible. As are catfish. From warm water, ehh...not so much.

    Why come to ND when there’s lake of the woods

    Sheesh, we have plenty of bullhead waters up here. What is it about the Iowa bullheads that are so special?

    Why come to ND when there’s lake of the woods

    Right, but there are a great number of lakes in ND that have trillions of eggs laid in them that have, for all intents and purposes, as close to zero reproductive success as is possible. They are maintained by stocking alone. Shutting down the spring fishing during the spawning season on those...

    I'm betting it hates permethrin.

    Hey Tom, Hows the weather ?

    I was 4 miles NW of New Town on Monday. We got plenty of rain, wind, lightning, and damage at the parents' place. It sucked, even with the much needed rain. Depending on the rain gage we looked at, something between 4 and 6 inches of rain. Tough to measure rain when there's 80+ MPH winds...

    Why come to ND when there’s lake of the woods

    Probably not as much as its advertised. 0.0001 survival rate to adulthood vs. 0.00001 is lost on the majority. And the difference between the two is more likely habitat than it is harvest. That's why we see "year class" of different species that fill the fishing demand. Missing year classes...

    North Dakota Fishing

    I, not so vaguely, remember the article SDMF alludes to. I was actually surprised by the number of infractions as I had friends up from NC the same year and while they didn't get checked, they would have been safe from being ticketed as we followed the rules.

    North Dakota Fishing

    I'll be on a small central ND lake tomorrow and won't be a bit surprised if 15-20% of the plates in the parking lot are MN and WI. Amazes me, every single damn time... - - - Updated - - - And I'm already hemming and hawing about the 75 miles drive...

    You don't need a 5th wheel or gooseneck hitch just look at this idiot

    I want a close up of the bungee cord connection between the two!

    Plum tree disease question.

    What's going on with these leaves on one of my plum trees? - - - Updated - - - Those are not bugs, but may be cocoons or something else that harbors a bug. First time I've seen something like this at my place.

    Pike at van hook...

    A 100 lb paddlefish swimming by with its mouth open would catch a person's attention, even if you already knew it only ate zooplankton. Same with the sturgeon. - - - Updated - - - BTW, If'n I were to attempt to chase pike in that area, first and foremost...I'd put in on the river and go up...

    Boat Slip Water Scum

    Amazing how oxalic acid labeled for boat cleaning is 10x more expensive than oxalic acid labeled for shitters, isn't it. - - - Updated - - - http://www.rbnainfo.com/product.php?productLineId=321 Oops. The above is for a different Lysol formulation, the one in the green labeled container. The...

    Killing grass for food plot

    I'm pretty sure I had a reasonable (not 40 ounce) mix of roundup that I used to go after some weedy grasses (quack, etc) in my rural lawn this summer. Afterwards I sowed grass seed of a more desirable style. 8 weeks later and the quack, and other grasses, came in just as strong as ever and my...

    Replacement Net Bag

    Looks like a rubberized nylon net, not sure of the mesh size. All in all, it isn't unlike the ones I prefer if it is the rubberized nylon. Pretty sure that's cheaper than the ones I've bought in the past though, but mine were a Cabelas brand, I think. It's been 5 or 6 years since I've last...

    New boat

    Getting the max speed out of a given setup is amazingly tricky. Even with as little as 1-3 mph breezes make a difference. Lots of boats seem to like a rippling of the lake's surface. With the wind, against the wind (even when it's paltry), not to mention trimming of the motor isn't a...

    New boat

    Hah, I forgot to mention that it's also about $10k per additional foot of boat, with the Lunds anyway.

    Replacement Net Bag

    My old frabil is on its 3rd or 4th replacement netting. The last two I picked up from Cabelas. All you need are the dimensions and then figure out what type of netting you want.
