Currently working out of Sitka. Been getting limits everyday by noon or so. Weather the last few days has been bad but it looking to get better soon

Top is silver
Bottom is king

Currently guiding in Alaska

Why state that it wasn’t racially motivated? Does everything have to include race these days?

We have a blower on the bobcat works great. Throws even the heavy slush.

A few years ago a neighbor was using a disc mulcher to clear some trees and a chuck of the tree came through the skid steers windshield and hit him in the jaw. He had to have some facial reconstruction surgery however he still doesn’t have a lower jaw

What rods work best as far as length, power and action?

What speed do you troll for the trout? And what profile cranks work best? Is flashy and bright better or a natural presentation since the water is so clear?

Also what line and do you use swivels or snaps?

No rigger needed for bows. Sticks,
spoons and cranks casted or better yet trolled behind a boat are what bows take. Most times early and late but sometimes daytime too.

What depth do you troll in? What depth do you keep your lure? What kind of rod works best?

Just bought a 6” lite flite a couple days ago from scheels for 119.99 and received it yesterday. I was amazed with how light it weighs. Drilled one hole in my pond and it seems to work great. I’ll know more this weekend. Planning to use it for early/late ice walking trips

I just added a vexlar glow ring to my helix I like them better cause they will double as a rod holder.

Did you cut a hole in the fabric case to mount that glow ring?

Dyslexia. It was 82% and you saw 28%😂

Sounds to me like the seller knew about the problems and was hoping to sell to someone who knows nothing about cars. Also the comment about “to much text” and your father would have ended the deal.

13 fishing snitch/descent combo is very good especially for only $50.

Is a wide or skinny ski better for the smitty sled?

They are used quite often in fall on the red river for catfish or the occasional walleye

Honestly it’s been one of the worst years I’ve seen. Not many ducks around and because of all the recent rain they are very spread out. I’m a resident and have been out twice seen a decent amount of candians but only gotten 6 ducks total

How do you tell that’s the first one is a wolf? the ears look pointed and the snout looks longer. Is it how the tail is positioned?

Danner pronghorn. I think Reeds is having a sale on them

Frogs have been working great so far this year.

The best spot in grand forks is by the riverside boat access. However east side has lots of areas around the point bridge or south/east of cabelas. Cabelas sells packaged suckers but I have had best luck using goldeye. Typically you will find goldeye under the rapids on the red lake river or at the riverside rapids. Cut them into one inch peices and use a circle hook.

They are you competitors but I would look at the cabelas tactical tatr kickstand.

Bungee strap to keep the box call from making noise
Orange flap on back for walking in
I also prefer a water bottle holder because i have had a bladder pop when resting up on a tree
Definitely needs legs (removable?) so you don’t need a tree if one isn’t available

I am also a firm believer in inline reels for small jigs. I tested it in the bathtub and they definitely help keep the bait still.

As for jigging technique i do bigger jigs until the fish come closer than I just dangle it above them

I would recommend a noodle type rod meant for fishing smaller jigs/plastics. There are days that the crappies prefer something smaller than a spoon or rippin rap

Definitely I was just giving other ideas. 75%+ of my crappie come from small tungsten jigs with spikes

For a cheap combo I would suggest the 13 fishing snitch decent combo. If you are willing to spend more the Tickle stick, widow maker, throne bros power noodle, quiverstick, tucr precision noodle or bull whip.

Small tungsten jigs, 1/12-1/8 spoons, slab raps, ultra lite Rippin’ Raps, Jiggin raps, small hair jigs

For bait I preferred spikes over waviest they tend to stay on longer

How much does direction display help when trying to find and get closer to structure?
