Great night tonight......

7 flats and one channel all on bullheads.

Flats ranged from 25 inches to 42.5 inches.

Audemp got the big fish in the boat with a 42.5 by 24.5 that topped the scales at just over 31 pounds......

Dave got a real nice 30 inch channel that weighed 12 pounds.

I got 3 flats with two counting as KOTC upgrades.....

Wish I could get out Friday or Saturday night but I have work until very late, but Sunday night I will be out looking for some 40" fish.

Got my Abu Garcia rigged with 80 lb. PowerPro and 10/0 Gamakatsu Octopus hook so I'm ready to go. Now just gotta go catch some bullheads for then.

Nice job John!! We ended up staying till about 3am and boated 3 fish and missed two...It ended up being Al's first time out flathead fishing and within 15 minutes of starting the night he hooks into something BIG...This beast whatever it was took him into the current and hunkered down and wouldn't come up at all...so we lifted the anchor and took the boat over top of him and made a little head ground but all it would do is shake its head but not come off bottom....after about 10-15 minutes being directly over him it came unbuttoned! cry So we took this as a good sign to get onto some fish....I hooked up first with a little KOTC upgrade, then about an hour later Al hooks up with his first flat going about 20lbs! He was definitely pumped...and the last fish of the night was by our captain Andy who boated a beautiful eye' on a lively bully whistle great night to be on the river......oh and John the boat is definitely not too clean anymore she got broke in proper to the river wink... Here are the pics:

Thanks WWG for the great and postive report. Makes anyone who is heading down tonight feel good. smile Nice fish guys!

This beast whatever it was took him into the current and hunkered down and wouldn't come up at all...so we lifted the anchor and took the boat over top of him and made a little head ground but all it would do is shake its head but not come off bottom....after about 10-15 minutes being directly over him it came unbuttoned!

I have had something like this happen on Pool 2 a couple years back. In the end I figured it was just a log (or something) in the current getting stuck on junk as I pulled it free and it rolled/moved grin

I also have video from last year about this time I should dig up now that I have the "bleep" editing capabilities for video grin This one was on the MN river around this time in high/fast/strong current and was only about 5-7 minutes long. It was my fish of the year and with a couple shakes of the head at the surface, ten feet behind the boat, it was gone. I still can feel the feeling in my hands of when its head shook and the hooked popped out. I am not sure how big it was (maybe not as big as I would have liked it to be) because it went from the edge of the snag out in the main current in strong current. Then to top off that night (around 9:00pm), 10 minutes later the tornado sirens went off. Not a big deal, but then came the lightning and as soon as we hit the launch, then the massive down pour while loading. Driving home after this, soaking wet, I can remember it like it was yesterday. That’s when Dtro was kind enough to inform me of cells phones having weather radar on them. If i had known, I could have seen the storm was going to pass after about 20-30 and how it turned into a beautiful night smirk.

      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.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      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.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
