    Guide gratuity?

    I look at the base price of a guide to be for the boat/equipment/bait etc. etc. The service comes from how hard the guide works to find fish and make sure we have a good time. I base the tip on the quality of that part of the day. If the guide works his tail off I'll tip'em every time...

    Did MN fishing hit the crapper???

    I was fishing on Ashtabula recently and noticed 2/3rds of the boats going by had MN registration. I thought there might have been a good deal on MN boats, but the vehicles in the parking lot all had blue plates too. A guy from MN was fishing right next to me and I asked him "Did MN fishing hit...

    DIY Gear Projects

    PM sent ndwalleyes. As far as trying to get the paint out of the eye, when I'm making 500 jigs, I don't want to take the time to try to get the paint out of the eye at just the right time. I'd get to about jig number 15 and that would be the end of that. Additionally, when I did open the hook...

    DIY Gear Projects

    Same here. Baking them makes getting the jig eyes clear of paint twice as difficult. Baking also doesn't seem to keep the paint on any better than just letting them dry. I get almost the same amount of chipping from bouncing off rocks with a baked jig as a non baked jig. Usually, the hook is...

    It's a soaker

    We have had about 3 inches here at the house and we have no puddles in the yard or the fields. I think we were a bit dry. Anyway, with these last rains the Sheyenne has gone up about 3 ft, which is good and bad. Good because we needed some water, but bad as the water is now the color of...

    Fish Guts

    I tried the bury in the garden thing, but the skunks thought the guts should be on the surface of the garden. Trouble with that is that once they had the guts on the surface they kept coming back to check to make sure there were no other "lost" fish parts. That was until I had the 12 ga...

    Staking Trees

    One year should be enough. The root system needs the wind stress while the tree is young. If you start to see a port or starboard list on a tree, replace the stakes. Aren't trees fun???

    Alternative methods of taking game

    Nice Deer!! Pistol hunting is kind of a new thing for me. I took one out for a day the last time I had a ND rifle tag (3 years ago), but no dice. I need to pop some more primers with the thing this year so I'm ready. Regardless if I get a ND tag, I plan on using one in MN.

    Founding Members

    Yep!! Using THAT acronym instead of "that other site" or some other derivation of identification is definitively worth a "Sack Rack" IMO. Though lycan did start that "Real Fishing Report" Group, so he might get a by with a moderate slap to the back of the head. LOL!!!

    An NDA Shop

    If the ball cap comes in Camo, I'd get one of those. Coozies would go good at the Bullhead tourney too.

    If you could describe your golf game as an animal, what would it be?

    A Chupacabra!! My golf game is non-existent.

    What's everyone using for nets?

    Where I normally fish, I gave up on nets. Carrying a net through the Sheyenne River Bottom Brush puts a guys patience to the test. Nets are like velcro for every twig and branch. Nettles seem to cling especially well to the mesh just long enough to give me a good stinging while taking them...

    NEW GROUP = REAL fishing reports!!!

    Well the fishing reports for the Group aren't too private I guess. Both reports show up in the recent activity listing for all the world to see. Might want to see if that can be changed. Otherwise, what's the point?
