    Bismarck high water.

    Well, ice can really suck at times: https://water.weather.gov/ahps2/hydrograph.php?wfo=bis&gage=biwn8 No significant impacts yet, but this story isn't over by any stretch of the imagination.

    O Central ND PPR area.

    A buddy and I hit up one of the lakes north of Steele today. Fished from about 1500 to 2130. Man was it dark, foggy and misty! It really made coming off the lake interesting! There was a slightly softened 16 inches of ice with up to 1.5 inches of water on top of the ice in some areas, some...

    Garmin, Lowrance, or Bird

    So, I have been feeling like I'm getting a little left behind by technology as of late. Those of you who have played with Livescope, Panoptix, and Active versions of the big 3 sonar makers, which do you prefer, and why? Thinking of a dual purpose unit that I can use on the ice and off the boat...

    Minnkota Sale

    It would appear Scheels has at least some of the Minnkota trolling motors on sale: Ulterra is $700 off Seems like a good price for an Ulterra, but I am going to hazard a guess it's on the lower end of features when it comes to linking it up with other electronics.

    We need a cold snap!

    Out mowing my yard on Wednesday before the rain, I was sadly disappointed to see what I think is the hatch of the midges that carry EHD. There were millions of the little buggers in the tall grass nearest my pond. Another outbreak like two years ago will extirpate the WT locally.

    Vlad the Vindictive

    You knew it was only a matter of time before Putin's buddy Prigozhin met an unfortunate accident. Personally, I thought he'd die falling down stairs, or out of an open office window like many of those before him who fell out of Vlad's good graces. I guess that was too boring for Prigozhin...

    Despite the heavy snowpack coming out of winter, the early expectations were for Sak to hit around 1837-1839 in elevation. Thanks to a few large and timely rains that boosted the runoff, this is where she stands today: Given the Missouri River at Williston is the lion's share of water...

    Garmin w/Minnkota transducer

    Ok, so I bought a Garmin just to try something different up in the bow of the boat. While it came with the sidescan transducer, I wanted to hook it up to the Minnkota universal transducer.

    Weirdest thing to ever happen to you out hunting?

    Because of the other two threads describing some crazy stuff that happened on a ND hunt, I have one story in particular that still stands out and haunts me after some 40-plus years of hunting in ND. Back in 2003, my ex and I had drawn muley buck tags out in 4E. She filled her tag on opening...
