    Boat battery recommendation?

    Interesting, mine is an 2004 Fisherman 1700 and I'd have to grease them up pretty good to get them to fit through the hatch. And, I'd have to replace the size 27 battery trays in the bottom of the battery compartment. So I just went with the 27s, I ended up paying $81 each for them, you got a...

    https://billbarthmandan.com/ Ok, so am I internet challenged as of late, or does Bill Barth actually think I'll give them my phone number and email in order to browse their inventory on the internet? Last fricking thing I'd ever do is give the sales staff at that place my phone number. Last...

    LOL, there were plenty of Minnetucky licensed boats out there last week. I am more worried about whatever ANS they would bring with them than the fish they take home.

    Pelly airboat accident

    Ahh crap, we all love the outdoors but all too often we get reminders like this that there are dangers associated with our activities. Very sorry to hear this and my deepest condolences to his family and friends.

    Boat battery recommendation?

    I just ran into battery issues this weekend with a 5 yr old set of Everstart 27DC deepcycle batteries. While I wouldn't mind the extra cost of the larger 31 series of batteries, I don't think they would fit well into the tight quarters on my Lund. So I stopped by Walmart (both in Bismarck)...

    Oops, that was not intentional. Just Bing image grabs with no details.

    Shouldn't we all be talking about slot limits and the need to keep our lakes and rivers from being decimated by slob fishermen such as this dude? :::

    Storage

    My net sits in a rod holder mounted specifically for it just in front of the windshield on the passenger side of the boat. Readily accessible to anyone in the bow or the back when fishing. For storage it rides between the passenger seat and the gunwale. May even be there when fishing at times...

    shorts, why would you post such a pic without any of the known details? Did you just go searching for boat wrecks on FB, google, or Bing to put up what amounts to a click-bait thread? - - - Updated - - -

    There is a passage in the fishing regs on snagging. "A foul-hooked or snagged fish is defined as any fish hooked or caught in any area from behind the gill covers to the tail. Any foul-hooked or snagged fish must immediately be returned to the water regardless of condition. Possession of...

    Missouri River rise

    Dean is correct, those are the current numbers for what stage is expected for a given CFS (cubic feet per second). Actually, they are the result of an equation that roughly is in the form of y=mx+b (y=flow, m=slope, and b is a constant that gets updated as needed). Bottom line is the USGS has...

    Little Minneapolis Drivers

    I installed a dashcam this past winter, I consider the $49 spent on it as exceptionally cheap insurance for bad drivers, etc.

    Notre Dame “accidental” inferno?

    Having been to a few countries in Europe, including France, I wouldn't be the slightest bit surprised that there was no fire suppression system ever installed. It would wreck the historic value of it in some people's view of it all. I've never even seen anything remotely equivalent to our...

    Yep, the fishing wasn't "great" on the river by Fox Island yesterday. I ended up catching a mere three fish, two of which were significantly injured by what looked like a pike attack. So I ended the day as follows: About 15 bites (they were some tail grabbing SOBs), lost 4 after 2-10 seconds...

    Winter kill

    Bacon, Despite me tending to agree with you that farmers are cost conscious, the simple fact is that fertilizer is well over applied even in the rural areas since no farmer wants to think his crop has not reached its full potential because it was nutrient limited. Hence the tendency for it to...

    Snake creek pumping station

    I'd suggest either calling Audubon NWR, or the Bureau of Reclamation offices. They would know the schedule for transferring water.

    Sb 2315 - final house vote delayed!!

    Having never hunted in Texas, I saw an article recently that claimed they did away with posted signs by going to the color purple. Basically, paint portions of your fence in purple (or trees) and that is recognized as a permanent (to the current landowner) no hunting or trespassing sign. Can...

    Winter kill

    While this is true, there's a pretty large disparity in the number of acres of each contributing to the problem. There are many, many wetlands in the countryside that look like a putting green in the summer and there isn't a house in the watershed. Personally, I refuse to fertilize a lawn...
