I think UND should call themselves the Chiefs but have a fireman for a mascot.

It should be you have to keep any fish caught at them depths. Or close the season just like inland waters.
I agree with the first part, keep all caught at that depth.
I’m Interested, I live about 90 miles west of Drayton and would love to get some cat fishing in there this summer.
Mine is 8 yrs old with a tec engine. Mine is cold blooded unless, I leave the blade guard on, push the throttle, choke it, and she will start in 2 pulls. I leave the blade guard on because it does start spinning right off the bat. I have had to do this for the past 6 years.
all five of mine do the same, had them for 10 years and I have used my father-in-laws 30 year old beaverdams in 20below plus wind without issues, just wondering if there was any way of dismantling them short of un/re saudering them.
What about beaverdam tipups, I havnt had one of mine freeze but I dont see how you could take them apart. Does anyone know if there is a way to go about taking them apart to clean/lube.
Should I just drip rem oil down the shaft while rotating it. And yes, I know how bad that sounds.
I just sold my 3-4 year old denali with cover and 4 seats (2 factory two added,) in great shape for 400. if yours is in great shape with the hyfax you might get a few bites at 525. I was asking 500$ but was able to sell it near home and didnt have to go out of my way, also I live in rural ND so most inquiries I had were more than an hour from me. I had it posted on craigslist for 2 days before selling it.
Also I was willing to take 400$ for it because thats what I bought it for at cabelas 3-4 years ago.
My wife was convinced we had morels growing in our yard this fall. she picked a bunch and brought them inside, thats when I searched and found out they are “stink horn mushrooms” they live up to their name.
I am putting an ice ducer on my 598 so I can use the waypoints on my GPS and use it for my sonar as I have been using my lowrance for years and like the LCD units on ice. In the past I have used the bubble on various transducers of LCD sonars to use them on hard water but it was a pain and would have to be adjusted everytime it went in the hole or a fish came up the hole, I cant imagine getting away from that problem with a down imaging transducer.
I have 4 cabelas King Cat rods, Use them for Channel cats 10-20 lbs on the red river, They work great and only cost 30$ for the rod/reel combo.
Sorry to hear about your car, If I were you I would reprogram my garage door opener so you the one they have wont work until reprogrammed. Here is a link to a blog on how you might be able to do that Garage door opener blog
in 2008 When I was moving my then girlfriend now wife into an apartment in minneapolis someone broke out my jeep window to steal two suitcases and my CD player a 2 in the afternoon 5 blocks from a police station. 90% of my wifes clothes were in those suitcases. worst part was two weeks before I decreased my insurance to liability. Luckily my renters insurance covered the clothes, and luggage, about 3000$. the window and cd player were on me.
Sad story. Especially since he footed the bill for this small community to even have a K-9 unit.

I have a 55lb. 12v powerdrive on my boat, and use a 27 series Resolute battery from fleet farm. I think they are somewhere between 60$ to 90$. Seems like a perfectly good battery to me
I run the same setup and have not had an issue, battery is going strong on my third year of use.
insead of buying that couldnt you just get some car tire innertubes put them in the hole and inflate them?
I had an ameristep doghouse blind that I used. I got a foot of black canvas sewed to the bottom so you could bank it up and wouldnt have to stake it down. worked well but they say your not supposed to use a heater in it, probably because there are no vents, just windows. It worked well because it was light and only cost me 50 bucks for the blind an 15 for the canvas.
Just a few of my fish from this winter so far.
I use blue foam camping pads like the one in the link at the bottom. I cut it in half lengthwise and use it for a lot of stuff out of one pad I have made 4 Ice hole covers for my tipups two knee pads to put in my carhart bibs (they have an opening at the bottom of the knee to put them in) and had enough left over to have a mat for both sides of my clam denali to keep my feet off the ice. if you go to any store with camping supplies it is usually the cheapest sleeping bag mat they have. Plus it doesnt weigh anything, but it would probably get ripped up by cleats.
Here is one I found on walmart.com but I got mine for like 5$ blue camping mat
There is one thing you have to do if you have a Denali. They have little plastic levers for pushing in the buttons on the poles. these things come off all the time. Use some duct tape to keep them in the right place and keep them from breaking.
The fabric on the Denali is not attached to the sled at all, because the tent flips over both ways it is just attached to the poles.
I have one and I like it for the amount of fishable ice in it, but the tent could stand to have 8-12 inches more fabric. It touches the ground, but takes some effort to bank it up.
I have the two seater, but put in two more small seats, It will fit four pretty well as long as two of them are little people. It fits two really well.
The sled leaves something to be desired also, its kind of flimsy and the pitch on the front is too steep makes it feel like your pulling a snow plow. I have had several Clams and my next fishhouse is going to be an otter.
I’ll be out on saturday to check out around Detroit lakes somewhere.
Did you mean like the epoxy you put on garage floors? I also was looking around and found rubberized pool paint to seal swimming pools. 44$ for a gallon and its enough to do 250 square feet with 2 coats. If I were to use this I would do it on the underside of the floor to prevent rotting from below.
I have decided against treated wood, I will just use regular plywood, and just seal it above and below. what other types of products would be good to seal it?Rubberized pool paint.
Finally managed to get on the Red River south of Fargo. the water is just falling below flood stage now. managed a couple of fish. the biggest was 13.5 lbs on cut suckers. Should be on the Red by grand forks by this weekend.
Nice post Kevin! ,Mark
