    Your Most Expensive Fishing Rod

    I think many of us start out with low dollar rods, then progress to moderately priced rods, then onto more expensive, then onto straight up spendy! Just out of morbid curiosity, I wonder what the average cost is for the most expensive rod each of us owns is. How much did your most expensive...

    Manitoba Live Bait Ban

    Seems a bit extreme, doesn’t it?

    State of NDA

    Just a few things. First, I understand that we are in the dog days of winter, and we are all chomping at the bit for open water. Many of us are getting anxious, frustrated, and flat out cooped up! Due to this, I have been getting quite a few "reports" and "complaints" from multiple members...

    Walleye like frogs

    Pretty cool frog tactic in the middle of the video. I have to be honest, I have never given a frog lure a try for walleye.

    Bites of the Past

    Does anyone remember fantastic bites from the past? Back in the day, Lake Darling had an epic perch bite, and back in the 80's ( I think) it sounds like Buffalo Lodge had a crazy perch bite as well. What hot bites do you remember from the past, even if it is from way back in the day? I get a...

    How is ice fishing going?

    How is the ice season going for everyone? I have been out a handful of times, and pleasantly surprised with the results on each outing. Some of the lakes are tracks only, now, but the fishing has still been good. I haven't been on Sakakawea, yet, so that is a current goal, and looking forward...

    Site Down

    I apologize for the site being down, for half of the day, today. It was an SSL certificate issue, but I did not notice because I was out fishing. Things should be fixed, now.

    Limit lakes for guides?

    I had a discussion with a couple of buddies about how guides can quickly deplete an abundant prairie pothole lake. One guy suggested that guides should only be allowed to operate on the big waters: Sakakawea, Missouri River, Red River, Devils Lake, etc… One guy suggested that guides should be...

    Fireplace for ice shanty?

    Is this a thing now? Like, a trend? Seems like a lot of extra effort to me.

    Sak Jig and Minnow - New Town area

    Kirk and I decided to take advantage of the nice weather and get out on the lake. We put in at the casino ramp. The water temp was 47.9 when we got on the water, around 10:00 am and was 50.8 (surface temp) when we quit in the afternoon. We started by checking the Beacon area, but didn’t see...

    The Progression of a Walleye Fisherman

    I am curious to know what your progression as a walleye fisherman has been. I think it will be fairly similar for most, but maybe I will be surprised. For me, I started out pitching daredevils and jigs as a kid, but never mastered either at that point. Later in life I ran a lot of bottom...

    Your 1st guns?

    Not including bb guns. What was the first rifle you ever shot? The first shotgun? Also, what was the first gun you ever bought for yourself? Remington 30/30 was the first rifle I ever shot. I think. Man, I cannot remember if I shot a .22 before that or not, now. First shotgun was an 870...

    Sak Jigging Rap - Fall Walleye

    I met Brett at Deepwater for a day of fishing. I think we got to fishing at around 9:30, and quit at around 2:30. We ran jigging raps on Shell for the entire duration, and had a good ole time. The water temps are down to the 64 degree range. We caught most of our fish on a blue jigging rap, in...

    Sak 9/5 Sakakawea

    Fishing the hook. We found fish in the early morning, in 6-10 fow, pulling cranks. Nice fish, in the 18-19" range. After that, we went out to Shell Island and ripped jigging raps for awhile, and had success fishing the river side. Water temps are starting to drop. Looking forward to the fall bite.
