My wife has given the green light for us to FINALLY move out of Texas to the midwest. My brother in law and sister live in Eureka. She is very excited about moving to that area.

Anyway...I LOVE bowhunting and obviously fishing. Bowhunting down here is not good....I'm looking forward to getting back to the midwest where the bucks are big.

My brother in law has fished the Merrimac a few times and caught nothing. Not sure about what the Muddy Miss has to offer.

Looking forward to finding some good public hunting....and get to know some good fishin spots. What sort of fishing is available in the St.Louis area?

When are you moving? You'll be able to find enough fishing water not too far away, and there is quite a bit of public land in MO...but it can get a little crowded. We'll have to get together for a fishing trip when you get here!

ehhh...it won't be for a year or two...but the fact that the end of living in Texas is in sight...is very exciting!!!! The deer hunting (bow) down here is horrible. I noticed there are a few areas around Eureka/St.Louis that offer bow only...that is always nice to have areas like that.

My brother in law is wanting to get on Mark Twain Lake..he and I drove to the lake last time I was up there....doesn't seem like there is much shoreline structure....so I'm sure it helps to know where the brush piles are smile

Barry....have you ever fished Lake St.Louis? Is there any walleye fishing in the area? Carlyle is in Illinois I believe with walleyes...but was hoping for something closer.

I've never fished IL. You can find some walleye and sauger in the Mississippi below the dams in Feb/March. Ihave never fished Lake St Louis...I think they may have something about being a homeowner.

Forget about fishing Carlyle Lake in IL, at least for 'eyes. It is a dammed part of the Kaskaskia River and is very muddy. It does have a reputation for bass, crappies and catfish (including flatheads) but that is about it.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
