Devils lake nwt

Idk -- I am assuming where the chamber and last tournament was won with the small boat. If it was the MN DNR they would roast a person for touching it. It wont be long and we will using 281 again.[/QUOTE

almost correct shorthairsrus. I think the small boat guys finished 2nd. I think both team members had Rangers but didn't use either and instead used a smaller boat to go where others couldn't or wouldn't.

Incorrect. They won with a 16 footer with a 50 or 60 E-Tec tiller. Hand painted to boot. Unsure if they went over 281; but were in the area. T

he trenched area just happened this week. Reports are a boat got thrashed going through yesterday in the waves. Also talked with a few pros that said that it will be baracaded before takeoff. $10000 fine to the guys that did this. if/when they find them.

I see great weights for the top 5, then a big drop to 10th.

Your correct ----how could I forget the last one was the Heiser and his partner jigging raps somewhere east of grahams.

So any idea as to where these guys with the small boat went? I have been on the otherside of 281. I know we pulled the road and either side of it was the same size of fish. They must of went further up?

Aron --- he is talking about the pro tourney ---- I believe the chamber was the tiller. Pro tourney was Heiser and his partner --who won it on the main or east side.

its probably not a pro who did it --- probably a local or a sconi.

I hope they dq and fine the people who fish there and who dug it out. When the lake went down one of the plans was to make the entire road and area a recreational fishing and enjoy the lake area. Now some a$$holes have destroyed the pavement worse than it was all because they think they're more important than anyone else. I hope they're prosecuted to the max, have to pay to repair it, and lose their fishing privileges for a bit. Fishing is one thing but destroying county property is total BS. I'm sure any fisherman will probably try to play dumb, but you know damn well they know it was wrong and either had a part in it or know who did.

It's going to be interesting. Some fisherman have been actually going up Channel A, thru Dry Lake, and making it as far as Mikes Lake in practice. There's some really nice fish up there as well as on Devils Lake itself. And there's always a few who figure out where those big girls are hanging out. My guess for weights would be it'll take a minimum of high 60's to win and it could be closer to 80 lbs..

Really, I didn't think there was any fish up there in dry lake only snot rockets and if you are lucky to catch another fish the taste like mud. YUCK it's amazing all the good information you can get on a public site.::::;:thumbsup

I hope you and all the others keep thinking that.

Yeah, you would think it would register as a bad idea when you are digging a hole in a highway without a permit. Unless of course, they had a permit.

It seems odd to me that the entire road won't have to be re-worked before they would allow traffic.

Is it really in such great condition that once the waters recede people could just "have at it" without heavy equipment repairs and resurface?

If not - what's the big deal? Filling in a 10 foot wide x 2 ft deeper gap (the maximum damage I can imagine) is 0.0000000000000000001% of what needs to get done when tens of miles of road are resurfaced after flood damage.

Guy, it would cost less if there wasn't water on both sides of trench, but the spot will need coffer dams on both sides then the fixing can commence. I hope the one who did it gets stuck with bill, won't be hard to find out who did it and they probably know.

 

[Pinecone]

is this a gravel road or blacktop?

cofferdams??? you can't be serious.

Once the water has dropped to where there is enough road/ditch out of the water to make it safe to drive on what are the cofferdams for? To prevent nonexistent water from flowing into the repair?

I just can't imagine that wave action hasn't totally f'd up the shoulders, etc. enough that it all doesn't have to be re-worked... pavement or not

we clearly need pics of this crime so that we expert armchair engineers on Nodak can render our judgement! :;:smokin

 

[shorthairsrus]

That road looked solid idk how would equipment one would start tearing into it. Now with regards to dry is that bs or?

- - - Updated - - -

When u pull up to it it seems solid. I have buddy's who drove from the north chasing a deer they told me it was solid they had some jacked up truck they drove through the water

Part of it is cement

maybe not

Somebody is in trooooouuuuuuble! Shame shame(insert one finger scraping the other while staring at the offending party).

 

[lunkerslayer]

If there is a 10 foot by 2 foot cut out the center of this road you will need to keep the water from coming into the area where it needs to be fixed. You can fish the first bridge if you drive from the north on highway 2. There is still water on both sides and even if there is only 2 feet of water still have to build a coffer dams.

 

[CAH]

Just create a good old texas crossing with just a slab of concrete and let the water buck!!

 

[guywhofishes]

but my point was that you don't repair roads while water is level with them

you either wait for the water to recede a few feet, minimum - or raise the road - negating the need for cofferdams in either case

- - - Updated - - -

Do you really think someone trenched out a road similar to the condition you showed - with intact rip-rap on both sides and water near level?

If that's the case (might be?) holy heck are those guys in trouble.

This winter there was a pressure ridge on pelican where I couldn't get to the blood hole coming in from the ramp. I could drive down the 281 road from highway 19 to the brinsmade bridge, the pavement was not too broke up because on each side of the road is full of rip rap. The a$$hole who did this should be fined is all I wanted to say.

Simple solution to all this is to Eliminate tournaments on devils lake. I loved the highwater but at least the old honey holes will be "tourney boat proof" for now.

if I ever fish a tournament I want to "weigh in early" :;:smokin
