Four of us went up on Thursday morning. We were on the water by 1:00. Wind was a little stronger than I would have liked but tolerable. We tried a couple of shorelines that we had worked succesfully the prior weekend, with no luck. Started fishing reefs and found fish. We ended up picking up limits in 14-17 fow. We had one 24" & one 26" fish.

Friday we went West. The lake went flat late in the morning and the reef fishing was very good. Biggest fish of the day was only 20", but once again we picked up a limit of very nice 16-17" fish. Depths were pretty much the same as the previous day, although we did pick some up a little shallower. Everything was on a jig and a minnow. One of the guys picked up a 36" Northern in the afternoon. All in all Friday was a chamber of commerce day in the Morson area.

The rain started late Friday night, We woke up to wind and rain on Saturday. The forecast wasn't promising so we packed up and headed home. After 3 straight weekends, not sure when I will get back up there. So, keep the reports coming so I can live vicariously, through you guys

I had a buddy who just came back from the weekend at the cabin on Sabaskong. He said Saturday through Monday the wind blew so hard he didn't even bother getting in the boat. He mentioned a short jaunt late Monday night to no avail. Hope it's good when we go up in two weeks. I'll be looking for the July reports from Morson. laugh

Our cabin is on the rock shore on the south shore outside Hanson Bay. Our dock got blown up into our tracks for the boat trolly from the wind this past weekend. Our neighbor's dock detached from the rock and is gone. I'm told there was 6ft swells in front of us and 8ft in the main lake. Quite the weekend.

We went to all crawlers last week also. 1-1/2 oz. Bottom Bouncers and Hammered Gold or Copper spinners. I don't even use crawler rigs anymore. Half piece of crawler on a hook. Can't tell any difference and a lot easier to put on. We fished mostly to the East and tried to find new spots daily. Lots of fish in the 16-20" class. Toward the end of June we started getting a lot more smaller fish. Lots of JUMBO perch.

East of Morson, I assume? I would like to find those perch! Fun for the kids and good eating. What were you using for bait?

      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.
