With the weather changing to winter like conditions, it seems ice fishing might come early this year. Most hunters will be trading their shotguns for fishing rods. Hopefully we get a quick ice on, with a good 2 foot solid base.

I have been ready for ice fishing season for months. Let's go! This week has lows forcasted in the single digits. Next weekend we will probably have some fishable ice on some smaller ponds and lakes as long as we don't get any more snow. Be safe.

Things are getting crusty. Most sloughs are crusted over but some have open spots in the center yet.

Maybe a better time to field hunt corn stubble then slough hunt?

With deer gun season opening this weekend, be very cautious.

No antler hat camo advised Eh.

Ventured onto the ice for the first time Friday. Kinda scary. Was about 3 inches. Decided too wait till there is a little more before I turn the ice into swiss cheese. Anybody been out?? Any reports??

I was out on the ice again on Sat and Sun. Did well on Sat but Sunday was pretty slow. Ice conditions were really good. There were a couple of other guys out also. Hopefully it doesn't get too warm this week. Next week we'll have some good cold weather. Good Luck.

Fished a small irrigation pond in Hillsboro, ND yesterday and iced well over 50 perch between my brother-in-law and myself. Kept a dozen that ran about 10". Had a blast and it was fun to be out. Ice was about 5 inches and no problems. We were about 50 feet from shore.

Thanks Rick,
I took her out to the Jamestown Res on Sat in the wind. We caught 3 walleyes lost a couple more and marked fish most of the time we were there. Hopefully its not like last year, when you could mark fish but struggle to catch them. I think that's more frustrating than not seeing any fish.

Donny,
I was going to call you last Sunday and lost your number. Send me an email, I'm sure we get out on the ice together. I say once we can drive out, we'll have to go see how good the honey hole is. My GPS cordinates are on my graphs I sold with my boat.

I fished on Jamestown the past couple days and boy is it slow compaired to last year. Not much of a bite. There is getting pretty close to 12" of ice on the north end and I would think by next week they will probably be driving out up there.

      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.
