    New boat

    On the weight differential between glass and aluminum, I was curious. So a 189 Tyee GL weighs 2500 lbs (sans everything you would put on the hull), and an 1875 Tyee aluminum hull is listed at 1760 lbs for maybe a couple inches of less boat. The 208 Tyee GL is listed at 2650 lbs, whereas the...

    Tandem towing

    While I set the bar at a fifth wheel to pull a tandem, it's not like the news channels are full of bumper hitch tandem accidents. Can they all just be that lucky, or is it just doable if you aren't a Nascar wannabe?

    Kirsten Baesler

    I will probably vote for her, not because I condone drinking and driving, but wasn't one of the others accused of improper touching of a child? And the democrat option, ehh...no.

    I think Pluckem and I need to do a late season hunt together.

    Eff'n dumb. We're starting to make Canada look like a bastion of conservatives.

    South Dakota sink holes

    I explored a few of old gold mines in the Black Hills a number of years ago. Despite my inherent claustrophobia not liking shit like that. Same with all the cave tours. I always get a kick out of the tour guides that say something stupid like "there's never been a cave-in here at xxxxx cave"...

    New boat

    pfft, you want something that won't take a wave over the bow in the shittiest of conditions? Get a quality aluminum boat. Those bastages float like popcorn on the water compared to glass. :;:stirthepot - - - Updated - - - Of course, it's also why they ride so rough.

    Trolling for Salmon with in-line weights - 5 oz weights -

    LOL, no coho around these parts anymore, it's chinook or nothing. In that part of the world, I know back in the 80s there were people fishing around Pouch Point going after salmon. I "think" they mostly caught coho down there, but someone may be able to correct me on that. I am thinking 90%...

    Trolling for Salmon with in-line weights - 5 oz weights -

    I'd be careful about where you are thinking of long-lining something like that. Downrigger users get real pissy when they run across your lines in the zoo that can be salmon chasing. They will cut your line and drop your tackle into the depths. Yes, I've seen it firsthand.

    River fishing with kids

    LOL, these are smaller, go faster, and would stump that idiot in how they operate.

    Salmon on top?

    We have other branded spoons that look just like that. Not sure of the name, but I too have caught salmon on them in the fall.

    River fishing with kids

    We are nearing the end of the "easy" catching on the river time of year. If you are going to be in a boat, remember to look for eddy's that produce calm'ish water. That's where you will find the walleyes. If you put in at Fox Island, shoot directly west from the boat ramp. There's a large...

    Trolling motor upgrade

    Hah, I'm not even sure I have a fishing rod worthy of casting from a 219! I love, love, love, the features of an Ulterra. Sure wish Minnkota would work on its durability.

    Dicamba Drift?

    Not to worry, Doug Goering has already said it will stay in use under licensing from the state of ND. I wonder how/why he thinks ND can label it for use if the feds pull it? Is this kinda like medical MJ where the feds will simply look the other way?

    Hail claims?

    Once the insurance company cuts the check, I have to imagine they will expect it to be repaired in a timely manner. Otherwise you will be paying insurance costs for insuring your home (including the roof) even though the insurance company won't pay you for the roof if another storm were to come...

    Hail claims?

    I say let your insurance company send out an adjuster. They will determine the damage and how much they are going to pay, then you get to decide how to go forward. Cracked shingles are hard to see from the ground, but once you get up on the roof and start looking they will stand out if you...

    Trolling motor upgrade

    Ok, so my Ulterra finally took a shit on me out of the blue. One day it was working fine, the next it wouldn't deploy. Turned out to be the drive unit that lifts the shaft up and down. A.G. Repair got me up and running pretty quickly but even with his refurbished part, it was a $329 fix...

    Pollen allergies

    Davey, I don't know if hops are a problem whilest growing, but a lot of people have problems with them in a brew.

    Pollen allergies

    ndfinfan, Not sure how, but probably because of the dry May (and April, and June) at my place, the pollen just hasn't been washed away. I think I've had around 35 hundredths of an inch of rain over the past 8 weeks. Dry as a bone here. FlyCarpin, yeah...once in a while the beer stuffs me up...
