    ND College SAVE 529

    I've known a couple fellas that instead of playing stocks, 529's, roths, and the like. They bought their kids two gold coins per year until they were 18 and decided on what they wanted to do. Then they brought out the coins, set them on the table in front of the kid, and they were free to do...

    A couple things with a boat. WATCH AND KNOW what the tides are doing. The tides dictate everthing. Also, I would NOT try to anchor up unless you know exactly what the tide will be doing. Many a boat has gone down when the tide started to race and took the boat down like a crank bait. Bring...

    OK, with that in mind, offshore stuff is cash, pure and simple. You will pay for the opportunity to tangle with marlin, sails, mahi, tuna, and anything else pelagic. Now if you just want to catch fish, the keys is damn near nirvana for a fisherman. A backpack full of metal spoons, jigs...

    Lights Scare Fish?

    Lights do NOT affect fish IME. Shadows....MOST DEFINITELY affect fish. Lights right at the hole are constant and can actually be a benefit. Having a light above you so when you move about you throw a shadow across the hole will F up fishing real quick. I've fished so many dock lights it's...

    Valley City area ice conditions

    Slush under the snow. 8-12 inches of ice. A real bitch to get around regardless of where you want to fish. Snowmobiles, tracked rigs, or walking. Fish to be had, but a lot of effort to get at'em. Sorry about being a debbie downer, but that's what I've heard and seen. Be Safe out there.

    This warm up today~

    Doing all my outside stuff today. Probably put me in traction tomorrow, but I'm going to charge forth anyway. Just came in to check NDA and have a cup of coffee. Then it'll be right back out to the smoker and other odds and ends.

    Freeze Dryer??

    The ones I've looked at are either 110 or 220. I'm looking to get the largest 110 I can. So far I've seen home versions that will do 10-12 lbs of whatever per run. We've used dehydrators for some stuff, but it would be nice to do meats and full meals. Unfortunately it takes 24-36 hours per...

    Freeze Dryer??

    Anybody in the peanut gallery have one or have any experience with using one? Doing a bit of investigating on the possibility of getting one as a new toy. Thanks!!

    Anybody use these cranks before??

    Thanks JayKay. That's the kind of info I was looking for. At least now I have an idea of where they might work and if they would be of use to me. Thanks again!

    Anybody use these cranks before??

    Thanks Capt. I guess casting would put the minnow about 4 ft down. I probably wouldn't cast the deep diver. (grin)

    Anybody use these cranks before??

    Thanks Capt. The smaller ones are kinchou minnows 7's I would guess. They are 4 inches long. The big ones are zander shad deep diver as near as I can figure, and the short fat ones are Ikari's. Those are lipless rattle baits so I guess they will go however deep you want them. Thanks again.

    Anybody use these cranks before??

    It's a good thing you're warm LB. Otherwise I might be forced to come down there and set your pants on fire. You know, just for your safety. (Grin)

    Anybody use these cranks before??

    I bought an old tackle box to use for tools and these things were in it. They are Matzuo brand and have flared gills. Weird design and I've never heard of them or used them. Are they any good? If someone has used these, how deep to they run and did you like them? Thanks fellas! Stay Warm!!

    What's worse?

    Knowledge and Education are NOT the same thing. Knowledge is NEVER a bad thing....EVER!!! Knowledge over time becomes WISDOM. What is bad, is the politicization of knowledge which in the hands of any governing body is mutated into "Education". Education is a creation of govt. and politics as...

    How low did you go?

    OK, minus 30+ at Ft KDM for the 4th day in a row. Enough please!!! I'm going from frost bite to freeze dried here. Even the sparrows are starting to have meetings to go "woke" on temperature and cancel it. I'm not asking for 40 above zero.......just ABOVE zero. Two of the most unlikable...

    Flip-Over Shack & Diesel Heater

    Meth lab? If the propane tanks were intact, what was the vapor cloud that blew up? If there was a leaking propane tank, the "Heating Mechanism" if it was on, would have consumed the vapor as it accumulated instead of waiting for the cloud density to get to a point of explosion. They may have...
