Season Opener- Where will you be???


Recommended Posts

This year will mark the 2nd year in a row I've missed the MN Muskie season opener... last year was cuz of the laceration on my palm, as few of you remember...

I'll be flying to Denver to meet my son whos flying in from Austin... We'll be back home approx 5:30pm same day... Hes with me for the whole summer...

I'll probably do some reading and day-dreaming about casting DCGs and Super-D's while in the air... and would like to wish you all best of luck!!! I'll be green w/ envy knowing that all of you are out there fishing for them...

Once back home, its working overtime on the boat...

Since I don't have a boat ( she got it in the settlement ) I will be on Leech Lake with a friend tossing all the new lures from the Expo, Reeds, Thorne Bros, and e auctions.

Last year on Leech, I c & r two opening day fish - 42 1/2 and 44. Saw a few others. This was the best opener for me and the last for my boat. (Never fear - I hope to have another boat soon)

I won't be going anywhere this year, I guess I'll just have to be happy fishing Vermilion for the Muskie opener, again this year. smile

Great thing about that is it's seldome very crowed up here in June for Muskies. All the "so called experts" think it's way to early in the season to fish this far north.

I will most likey have all my best spots, all to myself, for a few weeks anyway. I'll be pounding the shallows to a froth an working the edges of some of the deeper drops close to the spawning areas.

Counting the days!!

Once again, Uncle Sam has me playing soldier on the opening weekend of muskies. Seems to happen every year, so I won't be going out this coming weekend, but am taking Monday off and will be pounding the water for the entire day while most are working and leaving the water for me!!! grin

Must be rough Ace, having to fish a questionable water like Vermilion. LOL I'll be on French if I can get my boat in the water or it'll be a metro lake.

Hey Dan,

You are welcome to come up and see me on the "Big V" any time.

I know it's a long way from your home waters, but it's well worth the trip. Just bring the subways and we'll make a day of it. I love the toasted Italian salami.

Good Luck this weekend. smile

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • 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.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • 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.
    • 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.
