so i know there are lots of threads on this out there but when i do a search everything that has muskie in it comes up and i dont want to sort through it all.

so whats up with the full moon and muskie. do the skys need to be clear so the full moon can do its things? or is it just the fact that the full moon is out?

I find it funny how the new hype is full moon, full moon, lets get out there for the full moon. Everyone and their mother is out there for the full moon. I laugh because I now plan my trips away from the full moon because I know what kind of crowd is going to be out there. In my experience, full moons can be good, but the weather is the deciding factor. My best fishing this year has not been during the full moon period.

Here is my take.......no matter what the moon phase is, just be on the water during sunset, sunrise, moon set and moonrise. The closer these conincide with each other the better it is. Was out on a lake on Saturday and caught two fish (47" and 36") within 15 minutes of each other, right at moon rise. What phase is the moon? 1/2 right now.

It depends on the lake... that is my experience.

Full moon is always my busiest time of the month. It is the time when we really rack up the numbers.

In some lakes, the fish bite better in the dark, and in others, the fish bite best when the moon is shining bright. You need to figure out which are which!

It is true... the full moon does bring out the crowds and on some lakes, it IS overrated. Some of that is the trend of the lake, and some of that is because of fishing pressure. But that is definitely not something you can assume for every lake.

Find the lakes where muskies bite under the light of the moon all night and you will be a happy camper.

Full Moon and new moon are the best times and the two you caught were around noon. That is what you are saying, isn't it?

I like the actual full moon day, but prefer the 3rd quarter, when the moon is still down at sunset but rises a short time later. Seems to kind of "spread out" the good opportunities a little after dark, without the full moon being up and bright. At least on those lakes that aren't great with a bright moon.

      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.

      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.
