I set out for 2022 to do 3 things. #1 fish rivers #2 catch smallies in river, #3 catch walleye in river. I was awarded a bonus #4 catching muskie in the river. I succeded in all 4. To catch river smallies i inadvertinally caught walleye and muskie all on jerk baits, crankbaits and ballheaded jigs tipped with plastics and real minnows. You will be surprised at my 2 best catches this year. I base my best 2 fish on the lure and rod i caught them on being a $15.00 berkley cherrywood med slow 7 ft with pfleuger president spinning reel, #30 braid with a # 20 lb fluoro leader. Along with their tremendous power, pulling drag along with the difficulty and pure fun of controlling the fish in current, letting it run as to not break my line or bend out the hook to the landing of the fish and actually holding it in my hands. The first fish in the pic i caught on a 1/4 oz ballhead jig with a pink 3inch tube. The 2nd fish, a buffalo fish was caught on a suspending jerk bait.

pretty soon for this guy.

Their lawyers will have them going to see an orthopedic dr and a therapist soon complaining of soft tissue injury. Soft tissue injuries are money makers, the reciepiant will get about $15,000.00 and med bills paid. Lawyer will get $30k.

lookin like fargo is going to get more rain/sleet than snow. I would prefer snow over rain. That sheet of frozen rain will cause problems all winter long on sidewalks, driveways, parking lots....

Yes to minnows as i just started using them again the past 2 months. I also use gulp live minnows. I use ballhead jigs so the hook is exposed and i also catch alot of walleye on the same jig and walleye have bony mouths so i would say i give it a good whiplash. Also catch muskie on the same jig fishing for smallies. Check out the muskie i caught on the ballhead jig fishin for bass. I set the hook pretty hard on it and looks to have caught a soft spot in her mouth. The rod i use is a 7 ft berkley cherrywood med slow tip. I use it because i can cast thoses light jigs and bobbers out pretty far with 30lb braid 832 and snelled 20 lb abrasix leader.

drop some super glue in the resin crack and bend it back up, worked for me.

Wife and I went to the small dam on wednesday which was a balmy 65 degrees here in north dakota. I brought left over minnows that i stored in the freezer for a week. To freeze them i put them in a tupperware container and then poured windshield washer solution in to cover them up. The fluid is good to minus 20 so the internals of the fish containng water will freeze but the minnow remains very flexible. Next time i will use cheap potato vodka. I started with hair jigs and small paddletails and caught nothing, wife was allready catching small smallies and walleye on the dead minnows using bobber and 1/8oz ballhead jig. I finally put down the fake lures and went with jigging a ballhead with a dead minnow and caught some smallies. I then went with a bobber and jig and joined the wife in bringing home a very tasty dinner for thursday night and leftovers for friday night.

Ok, i will take your advice and when at the VA in dec i will probably get the shot for shingles. Thank you for your message it was short and informative.

I"m sorry, I thought that was your butt.

The VA offered it to me last year but i refused. I will refuse it again when i get year end physical. I am keeping my body away from all virus injections. So far i have made it on my bodies system to keep me safe and hope it can maintain as i age.

Never put an original methylate color plastic in with other plastics as it will bleed onto the others. I now have pinkish flukes that were originally white.

This frog here is the best. He/she hopped into my zip.lok baggie i had sittin on the ground with some minnows in it. I had a very bad year using my favorite pad crashers as all my best bank/wading fishng lakes were full again after the drought of 2021 the pads just wernt there as past years.

The stocking of fish for the railroad workers pretty kool history. Any railroad workers still around to get a story out of?

6:00am i am eating breakfast and the MLF was on tv. I watched the pros looking at there screens mounted on the bow and was a bummer to see. I call it cheating. No i dont care who is who or who wins. I do enjoy watching them setting the hook and the lure comes flying back past them with them saying " i missed a big un"

LOL, yeah i knew he was doing the im sorry thing and the shop guys knew i was looking to buy a vacuum as i asked a few days earlier where i can get a vacuum for cheap. I bet his wife chewed is rear end off when he told her what took place with my phone call in the break room to H.R. We never had a problem after that.

Grew up on the border of minnesota- north dakota. We always fished minnesota as we were 50 minutes away and the mystique of the land of 10,000 lakes was the draw. There is a drawback to minnesota and that is they have seasons on bass and minnesotas favorite the walleye. Bass catch and release starts on may 1st and walleye season starts may 15th to keep and eat. North Dakota has no season on bass or walleye and i just started fishing the dakota waters this year. Its a farther drive, 70 minutes for my radius of rivers i go to but it is all highway. I also catch multiple species of fish. I always want to catch smallies but i end up catching walleye, muskie, catfish, bullheads, white bass and panfish all on a smallie lure. I really enjoy this multi type of fishing. I may not buy a non resident minnesota license next year and just stick to the north dakota waters.

Thank you,

Friday we went to scout 2 more small dams on the sheyene river in north dakota. This time we brought live fat head minnows, scheels was out of shiners. Cost was $3.75 for 1/2 a scoop. Wife was bobing with the minnows i was throwing lures of course to start out. I bought some vmc mooneye hair jigs that were on sale, i never used hair jigs before and went below the dam in an eddie and caught a little smallie. I thought for sure i was on the fish but for the next 2 hours nothing. I then went to jigging minnows and using a bobber well below the dam in the eddies and just nothin. Wife caught 8 walleye and it was now pitch black dark and just couldnt see so we decided to go. As she was picking up our things i had a zip lock baggie with some water and minnows on the ground and didnt zip it up. Wife picked up the baggie and asked me if i put a frog inside it. What? no i did not and she brought me the bag and here was a small frog in it. She asked me if i want it and i said no so she tossed it on the ground and then i thought why not try it on my 1/4 oz ball head jig, nothin else has worked for me. So i with my headlamp spot the frog on the ground and i pick it up and lip hook it and toss it out. I am jiggin it in on first cast and whamo it gets hit and i bring in my saturday night dinner. That experience i will never forget.

Wife and i went fishing to a dam we never heard of untill a guy at baldhill dam told me to check it out so we went wednesday. Its a small small dam and we had gulp live minnows and then an old man gave us his live minnows when he left for home. It was 49 degrees and windy and when we left at 8pm it was actually a nice 36. I of course had to try lipless cranks and jerks all the while my wife was catching smallies and walleye. I was still convinced i was going to catch fish on lures so i finally put on a 3/8 oz jig and a 2 1/2" multicolored paddletail and caught 5 walleye. She caught 29 fish, 5 smallies, 3 catfish and 21 walleye. 23 of her fish were on live minnows 6 on gulp live minnow all using an 1/8 oz ballhead jig and bobber. I let her enjoy the live minnows while i kept warm by casting knowing i was missing out on numbers but i call it testing out what works this time of year.
