Sumandr,

I figured that's where you were talking about. We do head up that way when we are in the mood for a boat ride or a change of scenery. But 90 percent of our summer fishing is just to the west of the mainland... where the entire basin is 24 feet and the reefs top off at 8-10. I can get to most of them in less than 15 minutes...

I haven't touched a jig or minnow since early June. All we use after June 15th (when they hit the reefs) is spinners on bouncers with crawlers and, when we haven't been winded out, we've had fantastic fishing. I've never seen a year with such a great average size! (Nothing over 25'' yet, however, which is a little unusual) The problem has been the wind.

Take care all, keep the reports coming. I've got two weeks to go to get back up...

PS Shorelunch, You can bring crawlers up from the states if they are not in dirt. We have a place in town here where we get 5 dozen for $7 -- a heck of a lot cheaper than minnows in Morson!!!

Shorelunch,

The bait shop/gas station on the left in Blackduck has crawlers in bedding. We've found that to be a nice spot to stop as they have a plethora of stuff. Of course, I like the guys over at Bluewater too.

Ahhh . . . yes, I forgot we can haul them up in bedding. Thanks. Yep, both Bluewater and Timberline in Blackduck are good choices on the way up.

Rkpt, I think I've seen your rig up there before - do you come up a few times a year?

We were fishing 3/8 to 1/2 oz jigs with either minnows or crawlers. The one fish that we got in 30' of water was just North of the Ballfield. Most of the water in that spot is no deeper than 26' but when we netted one fish there, the sonar said 30'. As I said, though, most of our fish came from 18" to 24' of water.

Hope to have an updated report sometime this afternoon. One of my partners has been at the trailer since last Thursday. I will post something when I hear from him.

Eastwind, we had some great fishing out in the Buoy 12 / Ballfield area on one of my late June trips. One of the few times this year when you could run out that way and be able to hold a spot!

      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.
