    Keeping big pike

    Not a fan of slots without a biological reasoning, and as has been noted the big lake has always had a great pike fishery. I say enjoy the good times we are currently in as low water years will again be with us some day.

    Shock collar

    If you play in the cattails, get a GPS collar. I used to always worry about losing my dog to the point I'd not enjoy the hunt. Now I run a Garmin Alpha and I can ignore him for a few minutes if I need to without being worried that he's out of earshot. Not cheap though, but still a lot less...

    Nice member of the deer family, what exactly is a "shiras"?

    Where to bass fish.

    Larimore Dam out west of Grand Forks had LM bass in it back in the 90s and early 2000s. It was a fun little place to go chasing LMs with top water lures and buzzbait spinners. It's electric only and most of the places I'd catch bass were tough to get to from shore, so a boat of some sort is a...

    I can't believe stupid shit they come up with

    Hmm, seems we have plenty of prickly pear cacti around, but maybe we have something more exotic and difficult to grow????

    Arrowhead hunting

    There were a couple dickheads in news stories as of late that were caught with thousands of artifacts illegally dug up from Native American gravesites. I have no issue with people picking up a rock that's in the shape of an arrowhead when out for a stroll, but if you are digging up graves and...

    Several dead in Mandan

    I know when RJR took over that trailer court they implemented rule changes that were not very well liked by the long-term residents. Many were feeling like they had no option but to move.

    380 for CC

    One evening as my stepdad sat in the bar, I shot a street light out with a .22 LR using a vice grip. If you can put the round on target, they all work. - - - Updated - - - Note, I wasn't near as accurate with a ballpeen hammer.

    Dumb & dumber

    I knew, but never hunted with, some yahoos that would take the bb's out of shotgun shells and then shoot each other. I guess it really, REALLY hurts to get hit by a wad at near point-blank range.

    Winter kill

    Winterkill is a pretty complex problem but can be simplified a little. Once ice cover is on a body of water, sunlight gets really restricted in the water column. Hence, algae struggles to survive, much less thrive. So the dead algae along with any other dead organics begin to decay. Aerobic...

    Several dead in Mandan

    I read that book many years ago. Then a few years later when I lived in Williston, I found several spots not far from the Pumphouse that had all kinds of satanic crap painted on trees, and evidence of people gathering for more than just a few beers and some harmless fun. Always kept me on my...

    Must feel real good

    Sorry, I was under the impression it was similar to the youth travel baseball teams.

    Must feel real good

    Good point. The problem here is the Bismarck team, as a travel team, has its pick of how many 5th graders that tried out? They should beat the hell out of the small town teams where there may only be 10-15 boys of that age in the whole town.

    River is open....Well sort of!

    Sheesh, 10k cfs is the minimum needed to keep Washburn's intake in the water.

    River is open....Well sort of!

    I think you are referring to "Random Creek" over by Mckenzie Slough. It flows both ways depending on the water coming in from the North Branch of Apple Creek, not actually that unusual.

    Open water is coming!

    There is still a LOT of ice on the river above Bismarck. It would be dangerous to go boating even if they pushed the ramps open this morning. A drifting sheet of ice is a real bugger to have to race back to the ramp if you're upstream from the ramp, if it catches you down stream of the...

    passport psa...

    One can't possibly want the government to operate like a business. Businesses do what they do for a profit, do we really want the Gov't to begin showing a "profit"? Granted, it would be nice for a few years so the debt could get whittled down a tad.

    Flooding on the west side.

    No. Take a look at reservoir elevations and rethink this. - - - Updated - - - They installed some sheets of plywood to prevent water from going into the penstock from a certain depth. I am pretty sure this was a low water year though, not a high water year. I also don't have any info as to...
