So I have a 2019 Lund 1875 Impact XS - came with the standard single axel Shorland'r bunk trailer. After 2 seasons I put ST 10 ply tires...

    Early Spring???

    Do not want to jinx us, but with this El Nino pattern lasting into mid April...according to the weather prognosticators, sure hoping for an early spring! Went back and looked at my fishing logs - 2016 was the earliest I had the boat out on Sak...it was the last week of March. 2017 was also...

    Ford F250 - 7.3 vs. 6.7

    So unless new truck prices go crazy next spring, have decided to move up from my F150 to the F250. Obviously the big question is do I stay with gas (7.3L) or go diesel (6.7)? Last year we bought a 28ft bumper pull camper (7,500 pds), the 5.0 F150 pulled it fine with the WDH and stabilizer...

    Goat Island - Indian Hills

    So the wife and I camped at Indian Hills last weekend. I have fished the area many times in the past, but never really paid attention to the amazing scenery and the actual live goats on the island just east of Pepsi Point! So when the wife saw the goats on the island, she wondered how the hell...

    2021 F150 Tow Mirrors

    Ok gents, I've been doing research on the best aftermarket tow mirrors to put on my F150. Mine came with the standard mirrors...which aren't great IMO. Here is what I've found: - 2020 and earlier F150s have many options for aftermarket tow mirrors, but for some reason, with the small change Ford...

    New Flip Over

    I've decided I'm going to sell my 5 year old Shappell 1 man flip over and buy either the Clam Nanook XL Thermal or the Eskimo Sierra Thermal. If any of my NDA brothers have any insight or feedback on either of these flipovers, it would be greatly appreciated!

    Boat Title

    Not sure if we've had a thread on the topic of boat titles before - could not find one? Anyway, paid my boat loan off last month, yesterday got a statement in the mail from the bank stating my loan has been paid off, however our state does not issue ownership titles for boats. When I sold my...

    Truck Shopping

    I have been doing "market research" on new 1/2 ton trucks for months now. I believe I have reached the point of "paralysis by analysis"...information overload. I have done all the reading/researching/video watching I can stand. Next weekend the wife and I are going to Bismarck...plan to drive...

    Trailer Hubs Warm?

    Anyone ever have one hub on their trailer get warmer than the other when towing? Friday I jacked trailer, lubed both hubs, checked for any play in the tire, no dragging or grinding when spinning wheel...hubs fine. Saturday morning left town early, got to bait shop in Garrison...checked hubs just...

    New for 2021

    In celebration of the nice warm temps this week, let's talk about what we may be getting that will be new to us for open water 2021. I'm getting hydraulic steering and new batteries on the boat this spring. Oh, and like always, sure I'll drop a few hundred $$s on gear of all kind...that I...

    Wind...Yet Again!

    I know this is North Dakota...and wind goes hand in hand with life in this great land...but can anyone remember a more consistently windy September and October? Guess I was looking forward to some nice 55 degree light wind fall days to chase some walleye around Sak...guess I'll just keep on...

    September/October - Wind

    Is it just me, or does it seem like it's windier than usual right now...even for us in ND? Took off a week in early October to hit a couple spots on Sak that I haven't gotten to this year yet...hoping at least 2 or 3 of those days the winds don't blow!#$%^&>

    The Bite/The Temps

    Looks like we got a nice cool down right around the corner...few days next week with forecast highs in the 60s. My favorite time of the year to open water fish is the transition from summer to fall. Some days you can still pull cranks and catch fish in 25-35 fow and some days you can jig...

    Sak - Off the Beaten Path

    So I'm off work next Thu & Fri...thought Thursday morning might be a good time for me to try fishing an area of Sakakawea that I don't typically target. First half of the year I fish west end (New Town to White Earth Bay/Van Hook/Parshall). Mid summer spend more time on the east end. Have only...
