Anybody heading up? We go every year with the kids. Last year the guy who was supposed to get us bait totally bailed on us leaving 9 people high and dry!! mad Could've at least lied to us, just said he didn't have time. Geez!

Already have bait (almost) in my hands for this year and am researching different methods. Hoping for a more successful trip. It's hard to keep boys interested when you're not catching anything for a full day.

Yes, we will be trying new spots and methods. I would have done it differently 2 years ago, but I'm not the only one making decisions. Still a good, fun trip with lots of memories. It seems the lake will be slow since no one else is heading up (at least from this site).

Tman2 - What lake are you headin up to? I have already had 2 groups up. The first group did decent, no big fish, but decent numbers. The 2nd group is still up the lake and will be coming out in a couple of days. The fishing will be picking up each day as it is usually best a few days after the ice is off the lake.

Superbee is right, It is usually the best about 7-10 days after ice out. Everyone likes to be up right after iceout, but it seems the groups coming up the second week after ice out really do well.

That being said, we had our first group come in yesterday afternoon. They unpacked and went out fishing right away, it didn't take them long to get on fish. They came in for a fresh trout dinner around 5pm and seemed very happy with the few hours they put in. They had a few keeps and let a couple go, so it sounded like a good first afternoon.

Tman2 - If you have another slow year and your group is looking for something new, just let me know. Our Trout fishery is awesome and I know you guys would be happy with the amount of trout you catch.

We'll be fishing Whitefish Bay.

Outfitter- Tempting offer, but the my buddy's cabin is on Sabaskong which helps keep the cost down. IF he didn't have the cabin, I wouldn't be able to go due to lack of funds.

Cold, windy, wet, snowy. Typical May trout fishing. We worked WFB hard for Thursday and a little bit Friday morning. We pulled the plug and went to a more "necked down" area and found fish right away. Glad we made the move. All in all slower fishing though. Had to work for 4 trout.

We didn't bother to go out on Saturday. We didn't think it would be fun to have 4 boys soaking wet even before we got to the spot in such cool temps. So,we only managed one day at it. We trolled a bunch, jigged a very little, and shore fished to no avail. I was disappointed until we talked with 4 indians at the portage and they blanked too. Too much weather change in my opinion and it made the trout tight lipped. We saw other boats trolling, but never saw anyone with a fish. I liked our spot, just not the results.

      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.
