    No more messing with the clock in North Dakota

    Google search: "City, state sun chart" for any location you wish to see. The middle section from mid March to early November is DST. The outside portions are standard time. Shift standard time up an hour to see what daylight hours will be. Bismarck SW Wyoming I don't mind the time change...

    Minnkota sonar

    Should be plug and play with this adapter (mkr-us2-15) to connect the thin black cable from the minnkota to the transducer port on the back of the graph. Should be able to find in town at Scheels, Dakota tackle or boat dealers. As noted above, you will just have regular sonar from the...

    K- Drill won't cut

    I wouldn't have believed it until I saw it for myself but my blades went from cutting like new to not cutting another inch in about 15 holes with a sand seam between ice and melted snow. Sandy ice will dull these blades very quickly and to the point that they simply will not cut regardless of...

    Only when I'm holding the lotion. Otherwise they're happy to see me.

    DeWalt K-Drill - 3 Season Review

    Wrapping up the 3rd season with a DeWalt 996B turning a 7.5" K-Drill through at least 500 holes/season. It just let me down for the first time, but I attribute that to not paying attention to heat build up while drilling multiple holes through close to 3ft of ice. A plastic centering plate...

    Minnows in Refrigerator

    I've been using the Tetra AquaSafe Plus to keep minnows in the fridge all ice season, and it's really cut down on waste and hassle. I was skeptical the AquaSafe would work on chloramines in city water but it sure does. About 12 drops into a gallon jug with cold tap water and it's ready for the...

    Lower Unit Freezing

    About 15 seconds is plenty to drain most of the water before proceeding up the ramp. Even if it's 30 seconds nobody will get mad that you took time to let it drain. Watch your mirrors and you'll see when the gushing slows to dripping. Dripping is fine. It's the big washes all the way up the ramp...

    Lower Unit Freezing

    Water acts as a lubricant and heat dissipator for the impeller. Spinning at high speed without water can cause wear. The best boat mechanic in Bismarck says to never do it which is good enough reason for me.

    Lower Unit Freezing

    Thanks ndwalleyes for including the most important rules for cold weather boating. Failing to let trailer drain deserves a large fine. Never had an issue with two- or four-stroke outboards simply tilting down to drain at the ramp as usual to comply with ANS rules. Cracked lower units happen...

    Smooth move seats.

    I fully expected this would be the case when I bought the wavepros, but was pleasantly surprised to find they work very well with a wide range of passenger weights and heights. The girlfriend is short and light. Fishing buddy is very tall and heavy, and both are very comfortable without any...

    Smooth move seats.

    Skeeter, Exactly the same including all hardware to attach to pedestal and seat? Or more hardware or modifications required? Doesn't really matter to me. I also had no use for bulky, weight-sensitive ejection seats, so went with wave pros which have been great.

    ND Game and Fish stats

    Random, "surprise" checkpoints absolutely violate the 4th Amendment. TSA checkpoints violate the 4th Amendment. Tyrants use checkpoints. I understand there are laws and practices in effect that have been ruled acceptable. It doesn't change the fact they are in conflict with the 4th Amendment...

    SDMF, I enjoy seeing cheaters penalized, but throwing out the 4th Amendment to enforce game laws is not okay.

    ND Game and Fish stats

    From the first page of the regs: "The fishing license (paper or electronic form) must be in possession of the licensee at all times while fishing and available for inspection." I've had people along that purchased licenses on their phone but didn't know how or didn't know they needed to save an...
