I think you guys are right, at least the second or third week of Jan. would allow us all to drive out. The way the weather has been this year, who the heck knows. Thanks boys I can't wait to see you guys again.

I will be up fishing Spirit all this week. I had a great summer working for the DNR and I lived on Spirit for most of the summer. Crapped out in the last walleye tourney, my father and I could not seem to catch anything but crappies and slot limit eyes. Never have caught a crappie on Spirit until that tourney, I don't target them and I really don't care for them.

Weather and the the kind souls that plow the ramps will be the only way we are getting on that lake. Angler's won't be plowed this year. I kept that plowed all winter last year and someone stole my auger off my trailer while I was in the bathroom lol.

I got divorced this summer and my brother in laws took all my ice fishing gear.

I have my perm and and a hand auger for this winter:) I look forward to seeing you guys.

Great to see you are still around. Sounds like, you had just about as good of a year as I did. I managed to only lose my job so far. It is trying on our marriage, but I think that maybe its starting to turn the corner. If I am ever heading that way, I will certainly look you up and help if I can. Hope to see you on the ice.

Im sorry to hear about your luck this year Ed. It has been a very tough year for just about everybody.

It will be great seeing you out on the lake again this year. Let me know if there is something I can help you out with...

I appreciate it guys, I really do. I am very much looking forward to the ice fishing season and I am sure you guys will see me out here just as much as last year. The furthest I made it south was Des Moines. We ended up getting another place up here.

I live in Des Moines but I come up here just as much as I did before. Really looking forward to seeing you guys and I love these forums. Great bunch of people.

Okay so now everybody... What is the concensus? Do we want to move to Spirit Lake this year?

Any particular area of Spirit do we want go or do we want to decide that when the time comes?

Are we decided on the 2nd weekend of January?

Let me know your thoughts so we can get this posted.

Thanks...

    • 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.
