Is this real life ?Or just fantasy
Caught in a landslide…..
You acknowledge how complex and numerous the factors are that influence fish behavior, and then the very next second you say you’re positively sure that one single factor explains a behavior you observed? Because “first hand experience?”
I don’t think you actually wanted to try to understand what I wrote. You didn’t even use my words or actual explanation. The factors I listed were to prove it nearly impossible for anyone to say that it couldn’t have an effect. Way to many variables to rule it out.
First hand experience is a fact. In every aspect of life. If something really happened to you, then it’s real. Regardless of someone else’s studies. And the more often it happens the more solid you can be on your facts. We mere mortals are very capable of paying attention and gathering info even if we’re not wearing white lab coats.
FFS may not scare every fish every time out on every lake, but it is very capable of spooking fish, and occasionally it’s quite drastic. Fish with one or someone near you with one often enough and you can experience it yourself. If someone says it can’t, as in EVER just because science says so, then that person and their science is wrong. It’s actually quite simple to understand.
What I’ve gathered reading through these posts, is that if I become a “real” scientist, that I’ll know exactly what nature and wildlife can and will do all the time. I’m thinking I’ll probably win every fishing tournament for the rest of my life, just to rub my “science” in all the non believers faces..(sarc)…
I don’t believe scientists can tell us for sure what will bother fish and to what extent every time on every lake with every species. There’s so many factors that will change constantly. The ice above the fish will affect the “noise”. Thickness of ice, So will oxygen levels, barometric pressure, clarity, mineral content, micro organisms and plankton, depth, predator vs prey, size of fish, weeds, bottom content…. And every combination would or could change the outcome, making first hand experience the actual reality, vs lab studies science. And I do believe in ffs bothering fish a great deal on some lakes. I’ve seen it. If a scientist somewhere says it doesn’t, well, he’s wrong.
I use the bigger minnow scoop from Fleet Farm or wherever. The neon green for like $2. I keep one in each portable and another one or two in the buckets. Been using only these for over 5 years now and haven’t broken or lost one, including bring kids out.
Every auger is different, but the strike master laser on a Milwaukee drill doesn’t leave much slush behind.
Thanks for your thorough report!
I’m thinking it’s more likely your tires themselves are susceptible to shrinking in the cold. Some rubber compounds will shrink much more than others. Or its probably coming out your valve stems.
For reference, in roughly 24″ of ice, with an 8″ laser auger, I can get approximately 120 holes with a 12ah 18v Milwaukee battery. Yes, its a big battery and isn’t the cheapest. But I bought on a good sale, actually got 2 of them, and don’t regret it in the least. Even when I’m out making swiss cheese of the ice, Im confident I can drill well over 200 holes.
Brock Purdy made the NFC championship game his rookie year. He was 2-1 in the playoffs that year after getting injured early against the Eagles. The game when SF essentially ran out of QB’s.
He then made it to the Superbowl his 2nd year. So, he played in atleast the NFC championship game his first two seasons.
I actually don’t fear Mahomes at all. I think Reid and co have good game plans, but the Chiefs last year and this year seem very beatable and yet the other teams are failing to get it done. And the refs……
Allen is a psycho, but the kind that just controls a game and will run face first, without a helmet, through a brick wall.
Hurts I feel really needs a good runningback to help him. If you take away Saquan he’s not magical.
Daniels is a kid playing a pickup game in the high school field. He’s bouncing around and having fun, making stuff up as he goes.
If I were the other team, I would not want to face:
Allen
Daniels
Mahomes
Hurts
One is targeted for harvest by the meat hunters
How about we stop bashing people that love to keep and eat fish. For goodness sakes.
Pretty big holding call missed on that Barkley run. #90 would have had him if not for it.
The bands indent the cork and can split the cork rings, Also when fighting a big fish the front of the reel comes off the handle and feels like its falling off.
Just had this happen for the first time. I thought the reel was just gonna leave, so I grabbed it all clumsy like. Another 2 seconds later and the big fish was gone. Stupid bands.
The Major League movies were just on TV back to back to back last week. Really get some good laughs at his acting. He was a gem.
I screwed it up on my cousin’s heater. Checked on our soup after 7 minutes and his handle was just dripping off.
I mainly use a small grill. Sometimes I put half a frozen pizza on. Sometimes grilled cheese, hot dogs, bratwurst or burgers. Never seems difficult and those foods have little to no mess or dishes.
One thing I learned when using the rack on a big buddy heater is to not put your can or soup pot to close to the handle of the heater. The heat radiates and melts the handle. My bad.
I think they move along at a decent clip. See them all the time when I’m lucky enough to be on the ice on Devil’s Lake ND. Also on Big Stone SD. They actually have a Snow Bear only fishing tournament on Big Stone each winter with like 70 of them things.
I’d like to fish in one for an hour just to see if it would be as cramped as I imagine. But I don’t wanna pay for it!
Hey guys! I’ll post this in the classifieds as well. One of my boys won 4 Wild tickets and unfortunately it’s the same day as my daughter’s wedding. So he asked me if I wanted to post them on here for sale. He’d love to be able to use the money to buy tickets to a different date cause he was pretty excited to get to go to one. Just not this date. Must buy all 4. Tickets are digital on his phone and can be transferred.
4 tickets. Saturday January 25th. 6pm game vs Calgary Flames. Section 119 seats 15-16-17-18.
Asking $800
I believe what we saw last night was Sam Darnold. As in, who he always has been. KOC and Shanahann last year did great work on him. But he played last night just like he had a Jets/Panthers jersey on. Big game and he resorted to bad habits and old behavior. Can he dig deep to remember everything he’s learned the past year+? I’m not betting my farm on it. Anything is possible.
Maybe……… Maybe this was a good loss. Another team just gave us a beating and exposed our weaknesses. There’s always a chance the MN coaches didn’t think these weaknesses existed. Atleast now they have a week to fix what they can before our playoffs game.
FT that looks fantastic! I am bummed, we didnt end up having that wild boar. I was looking forward to trying it.
I grew up in AZ and had one particular uncle that would hunt Javelina’s. I feel like he got one every year and would have an underground pig roast party in his backyard. I was just a kid and had zero knowledge of hunting then. But I remember the parties and seeing that huge menacing hog and eating it, and it was phenomenal! I hope you get another chance to try some without getting sick!
Is lqp referring to lac qu Parlee lake? Do they rent wheelhouses there? Thanks in advance
Yes. Lac Qui Parle. Never rented a wheel house but I’ve heard people do. Close enough to Big Stone to fish in the same day. Done it a few times.
Are your family and friends capable of moving and or setting up the house themselves if they go up to use it? Then leave it on shore.
If not, I think I’d pay the resort money to keep it plowed out and make sure there is someone using it every single week(end). They can each drop you a $50 for using the house and you’ll be covered.
Definitely hear it a lot of I’m listening to KFAN. I can’t change the station fast enough.
That’s a solid 3.8 decades of service! Way to go! I hope retirement treats you very well.
I’d also add that the cover is well with the price if it’s not already included. Otherwise the material on the house, especially the skirting will flap constantly as you drive leading to thinning and fraying. Know this from experience.
