    Ice reports?

    Beaver Bay on Oahe. Yesterday there was 9 inches of ice on the east side of the bridge where I was. I moved to the west side of the bridge near the boat ramp and there was 12 inches of ice there.

    Man bun to the rescue....

    When I was a kid my parents were suspicious of dudes that shaved their heads. We believed they were members of the skinhead devil worshipping cult.

    Decade of reflections

    My reflections: My 2 children graduated high school, graduated college and got married. I replaced my Yarcraft with a Ranger. Replaced my Chevy truck with a Ford Truck. Replaced FishingBuddy with NodakAngler. Same wife. She's the best but doesn't like sports or to fish much. :( Quit job of 30...

    Decade of reflections

    This thread reminds me that nothing stays the same. Whether you are at a point in your life where you are flying high or feeling low, it's likely just a phase and it will change soon enough.

    security doorbell camera thingy

    I was given a couple of these yesterday for Christmas. We set them up which was easy. Apparently they will record about 2 weeks to the SD card and then you can set notifications where it will store 15 second clips on your phone when there is activity. Plus notify you when there is movement...

    Porsborg Dam in NW Mandan is close too. I have no idea what the fishing is like, however.

    retirement, good or sucks

    I wouldn't be in a hurry to pay off a 0% interest loan nor a 3.15%. I would sock away as much as possible in the 401K and then payoff debt with any excess. You should always contribute enough to the 401K to get the max matching available from your employer, assuming they match. And since you...

    retirement, good or sucks

    What kinda interest are you paying on your 2 loans? Keep in mind you are not paying income tax on your 401k contributions.

    retirement, good or sucks

    Great topic. Thanks, db-2, for starting it. I think about this a lot these days. What determines when to retire? Is it all about money? Or when you hate work? Or when your not healthy enough to work? Hit a certain age? Something else or combination of the previous? I’m so confused.

    Some registration changes for motorized watercraft

    I took this to mean that us in staters will get nicked a little more when we renew our boat registrations so the normal sticker will be proof that we supported the new program. Out of staters get a "special" sticker to show their support.

    Ice reports?

    I used to fish the mouth of the canal where it opened into 1 of the lakes. THERE WAS ALWAYS THIN ICE in these necked down areas so be careful. I had very good fishing at times though and I could be on 2 feet of ice and there would be open water 30 yards away from me. I never did fish right in...

    I strive for this but doesn't always work out. I will keep trying with your encouragement!

    18 or 20 volt? How many batteries do you smoke in a day?

    Let's talk drill/composite auger setups...looking for experiences

    Yep. And my drill is the 18V. I know 6 inches is nothing but based on what I saw and my experience with SM bits, I don't expect there to be an issue for at least 24" of ice. When it get's thicker than that, we'll have to see what happens. A friend told me that the drill battery will get warm...

    Let's talk drill/composite auger setups...looking for experiences

    I used my SM lite flight and Milwaukee drill for the first time last weekend. I also have an older SM gasser so I thought having interchangeable blades would be good for me. I looked at the SM 40V and decided on the drill for 3 reasons: much lighter, I can use the drill to turn in ice anchors...
