    Favorite gas station snack

    Or their jalapeno corndogs. Just enough zing! Actually just had two for lunch.

    Fishing toon

    Ok, so here's the update. I ended up buying a 2013, South Bay model 522F tri-toon with a 150 Merc 4-Stroke. I have had it out twice now, both times in some fairly unpleasant conditions, one day with 30+ mph gusts, and then again this past Saturday with some 15-20 mph winds. Haven't caught a...

    Dont buy Lund boats or from Vallely Marine

    ndfinfan, It really isn't that bad. So long as you are fishing mostly the Bismarck area, there aren't that many rocks to worry about. Lots of sand though, and a few spots where there are deadheads. So long as you go slow and learn, you will be fine. I call it driving by braille as I...

    Dont buy Lund boats or from Vallely Marine

    Maybe I missed the point, but a picture of a Ranger with a caption saying "If it would of been a ranger it would of made it" makes me wonder if the person who wrote the caption recognized what kind of boat was in the pic.

    Dont buy Lund boats or from Vallely Marine

    Holy cow, I high centered my Lund on a large rock last year when a 30 mph crosswind got the best of me at a ramp. It sounded and felt like I was doing some major harm to the boat as it teeter-tottered for 30 seconds. When I got it on the trailer and went to inspect it, I was amazed at how...

    Bimini tops

    If you get one that fits your boat well they are awesome. Like noted already, they inhibit fishing and they aren't good in the early morning or late afternoon as the sun is at a decent enough angle to peek under the bimini. Another option is a beach umbrella. Yep, I have a bimini top for...

    Boat Rod holders

    Ram are probably the best out there, but there are also Fish-On and Scotty rod holders. All are adjustable angles and strong enough to hold a catfish at bay. If you are using spinning reels, I prefer Ram. The Fish-On and Scotty holders are OK, but are better left to baitcasters, IMHO...

    fish sausage

    Yes, I have had pike cakes in the past. They aren't bad, and if you know what you're doing I would think they could be quite good. - - - Updated - - - It was the smell of cornbread coating in oil. Like a hound dog, I used my nose and tracked that sucker down from 200 yards away at a busy...

    Where do you frosty beverages reside?

    Just another reason why Lund's are superior floaters. - - - Updated - - - Note, I'd hand my beer to my girlfriend but she'd drink it. So in the odd chance that I get a bite, I just slam the remaining beverage before setting the hook.

    fish sausage

    I had a corndog in Japan made with a fish hotdog. One of the worst dietary choices I have ever had sprung on me.

    1997 Flood

    Oddly enough, I helped him graduate. Hoping that he would leave GF as I was just starting to work fulltime for UND. Last I heard he was making bank out in the oilpatch and still living in a dump of an apartment in GF (that's been a while ago though). Oh the frigging stories I have of that...

    1997 Flood

    I think my least fond memory was well after the flood. My grad advisor had another student who had to shack up with him because his apartment got flooded. He was driving our advisor nuts, kind of whacky dude to put it nicely. Since I had to go to SD for several weeks, my advisor convinced me...

    1997 Flood

    I was in El Forke Grande during the flood as well. Lived in married student housing (man am I glad that part of life is done for me!), and had an office in the basement of Leonard Hall. After bagging dikes for many days, a couple friends decided we had had enough and talked me into an...

    Early Season Boat Concerns

    I just always plan on going upstream, or upwind from the boat dock. While I've never had an issue, it's a lot easier to limp back to the trailer if Mother Nature is helping. Besides that, I always, ALWAYS, clean battery connections and test/charge the batteries before heading out for the...

    Boat cleaner

    BS! Try spilling a quart or two on the carpet of your pickup in January. And then not drive it for a week or more so it can settle in. That SOB still smells like a titty sprinking pickle! As usual, this happened to a "friend". :mad: - - - Updated - - - Note, the boat which gets a...

    Lund rebel 1650 ss

    Coordinates are fine. Names of honeyholes are irrelevant if you give us a Lat/Long. - - - Updated - - - Oh yeah...and I fished out of a 1975 era, 16 ft beer can of an Alumacrap with a 25 hp Johnson POS back in the late 90s. Have a little sense of humor mixed with an equal dose of sense of...

    Upcoming road construction - Williston

    Yeah, 1804 is getting turned into a "super 2". I am guessing that means turning lanes.

    No paddlefish cleaning offered this year

    Ain't that the truth, that pink/brown meat is just god-awful. The smallest piece of it on a filet put in the freezer can ruin the whole filet. Paddles aren't that tough to clean, a person can always gut, remove the notochord, and then simply cut the fish into steaks like a halibut. Once you...
