Snow on the ice


Guest

Recommended Posts

Can any one tell me how deep the snow is on the ice? Can you drive anywhere on the lake or is the snow too deep and you have to stay on the plowed roads. Also do you have to pay to use the roads? We'll be fishing there Friday - Monday.

Despite what anyone will tell you, you have to pay me, and only me to use ANY road in North Dakota. grin.gif Just mail me a check today and I'll tell everyone you are good to go.

Snow is not a problem because it was warm today and collapsed any we had down. It is going to be colder the next couple of days so it will be no problem. Snow is not an issue this year.

Even Fords won't get stuck.

Thanks Kevin maybe we'll see you out on the ice. I'll be driving a green 4 door F150 w/a topper on it. Also there will more than likely be a big dumb sheephead tied to the hood.

P.S. Sheephead will pay you for the road pass

We got back yest, got out of there before the wind really started blowing, Fished on Friday and they had lock-jaw except for a 1.6 lb perch, on Sat. the weather went to heck so we rented a 10 hole shack out of the casino not thinking we would catch sh*t, we ended up with 6 nice perch and a 5.5lb and a 8.2 walleye too!! And a whole lotta beer and even the Dr. stopped by for a visit! We were really suprised to catch anything out there in 42 ft. of water! Best $75 we spent! Went out Sun to the same general area and ended up taking hom about 20 perch, bite didnt really start till around 2-3 0'clock and at 5 it was all over! Good luck when you go, and keep us posted on how you did, I'd go up again, but probably would wait 2-3 weeks later to go! ****, it's windy up there!! P.S. Nice meeting ya Kevin!!

Dirkato and sheephead had cameras down and saw a lot of fish. Big perch, big walleyes, big northerns.

Check-out the iceleaders state report for ND for my latest report or click on the report in this forum for my report.

    • 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.
