    Lowrance X68c Ice Machine?

    Anyone use one of these back in the day? Was cleaning out the garage and found one that I took off an old boat many years ago. It works fine it looks like. I have a couple spare Vexilars, but thought I might throw it on a blue box and get a transducer for it. Extra for another kid if I have...

    Garmin Map Subscriptions?

    Can someone give me some guidance on Garmin map subscriptions? I picked dup a 93sv and am slightly disappointed to see that I can't change the lake level without a subscription. Looks like I need Vision+, but want to verify I am not missing anything. Is the mapping that comes with the...

    Tree row rehabilitation?

    I have a quarter of ground in the family that is one of our main upland hunting opportunities. It's got an old farmstead on it, about 20 acres of CRP, a 5 row tree strip planted 10 years ago. The remainder is cropland with (6) 1/2 mile long single tree rows. These are Soil Bank era rows that...

    Side Imaging Graph Options?

    Going to update my main graph this spring with one of the sales going. Stepping into the new century. Looking at a 9” unit, currently have Helix units. Will keep them and am not tied to any brand. Not really concerned with future live imaging, just want side imaging. I like ‘Bird mapping...

    Panfish spoons?

    Doing inventory on the ice tackle today and have concluded my panfish baits are lacking. Beyond my stash of tungsten jigs and old Genz fat boys and worms I need to add some tackle. My spoons in particular are pretty thin. Any favorites you’d recommend? FYI do have lots of droppers, looking...

    Boarding ladder oprions?

    My Lund has wave wackers that are very necessary. However, I've concluded I need some sort of emergency boarding ladder. Getting in if I fall out alone would be tough. Or if my dad were to fall overboard it would be tough to get him back in too. Any recommendations for a ladder that could be...

    Sak Van Hook 6/29-7/2

    A little late, but fished 6/29-7/2 in absolutely incredible weather. Best four days of wind I've experienced on Sak. First day we fished the north end of the Hook, did really well in 16' on cranks. The next day we fished from the Casino, both north and south. Water water much muddier in the...

    Boat cover waterproofing?

    My boat sits inside the majority of the time, but was out over the weekend in some rain. The older snap on canvas cover (factory Lund) doesn't seem to be very waterproof anymore. Looking at options, Starbrite seems to be the go to but it can hurt some fabrics. They do have a water based...

    SeaStar Seal Replacement?

    Anyone do their own SeaStar seal replacement? Mine need done, looks like a simple job. Only concern is pulling the side brackets off, everyone says the can be a pain. The pullers are fairly cheap though. Planning to do the nice deals too, not the Amazon cheap ones. Any other advice is...

    Electric Ice Auger Recommendations

    Since going to a hub shelter I want to get an electric auger so I'm not gassing up the interior of the shelter when I drill my holes. My gas auger is 20 years old and going strong but it's time. I haven't looked too hard at the electric augers of late. My FIL has a first generation Ion and...

    Bow hanging options?

    I usually just have a screw in step or something similar that I hang my bow on when hunting from the treestand. But, after getting burned again tonight my a deer that caught me by surprise and not being able to get to it, I am looking for options. There seems to be two different ways, the...

    Weather apps?

    Searched up old threads but for figured a new thread was probably needed with all the app changes. Does anyone gave recommendations on a good weather app? Weather, wind, sunrise, long term forecast, radar all in one? I use Storm Radar and Windy but am always looking as I’m a weather nerd. Thanks!

    2022 Trail Camera Pics

    Surprised to not see a thread yet. I don't have nice cameras but sure do enjoy seeing what is out there. Don't really use them for hunting other than to get hyped up about the season. My little girl and I make it a once every two weeks to go check cameras, fun time. I'm in different country...

    Snap weight clips?

    What have you found to be the best snap weight clips? I use PowerPro and the Church clips and Cabelas clips don't slide. But I have lost a few for unknown reasons. I have some Scheels clips but have not used them. The Offshore clips with the pins are nice but are the most costly. Any other...

    Pouch Point Ramp status?

    Can anyone tell me if the Pouch Point boat ramp is useable? NDGF page says not but have heard it might be ok. Looking to fish from a new access point. Thanks!

    Help with plastics for walleyes....

    I've tried to make a concerted effort to use plastics this spring for walleyes. I've used them sporadically in the past with decent results, but without too much effort. Yet this spring I've really struggled. Live bait is still winning 5-1 on plastics for me. I've tried fishing them the same...

    Jigging Rap Storage?

    What do you all do to store your Jigging Raps, Shiver Minnows, etc? Bouncing them around just breaks off fins, but I've tried foam with slots cut and other DIY innovations and have not found anything that works. I have looked for some foam to CNC like these, but can't find any. May just end...

    Sakakawea Outlook 2022?

    What are things looking like on Sak in 2022 for walleyes? COE's February study has the lake peaking at 1833 at basic condition. The most I've fished the lake was at high water and prime fishing a few years ago, but I haven't been back since. Curious what everyone's thoughts are on the fishing...

    Outboard freeze up?

    I have a Yamaha F200 and fish a lot in the late fall. I always drain the motor down fully at the end of the day, full tilt down. I start it for a few seconds as well. Even still, sometimes the next morning I don't get water out of the pee hole. It takes a long, long time to get the motor...

    Inline Muzzleloader?

    Looking at getting an inline muzzleloader as I'm just not into the long range rifle thing too much anymore. Nothing fancy, CVA Wolf, Traditions Buckstalker, or T/C Impact. This will be an open sight gun FYI. Any recommendations here in terms of the three listed above?Any other recommendations...
