Mjgrose if your against this fine but why mention anything about spearing. This has nothing to do with spearing.

He is just trying to get under our skin! What happens when the lake gets stocked, then what are people going to complain about? Never will everyone be happy with musky getting put into the lake, but just look at Miltona and how that situation turned around. Like stated above, now the people around the lake are embracing the musky and what it is doing for the area surrounding the lake. It has become a premier musky lake in the state and still is a walleye factory. Everytime I am on the lake, there is still no shortage of guys out there fishing eyes. Alexander is the same way...the pressure on the lake has increased for musky but the walleye guys are still out there catching fish.

In 2008, the DNR stocked 820,000 fry into Tetonka and will stock it again this year going with the every other year program. There is not going to be a shortage of walleye in the lake.

No you insinuated that people you know are causing high mortality (poaching)all in the context of a spearing comment, this type of garbage causes allot of bad blood between sportsmen, I know you think its just fun and games but its putting us against each other.

Look at gull, that has amazing potential but got shot down because of landowners.

Surprisingly, this wasn't the main issue with Gull. The Gull Lake Lake Association did not take a stand on the issue either for or against it, as I understood it. Public support was there in a big way. Well over 80% of public input received was in favor. Unfortunately it got shot down because it turned political. Vocal people with money and connections won out.

Since you seem to know what I'm thinking, can you tell me who will win the vikes game this Sun so I can go fishing?

If I knew what you were thinking, would that make it so I could predicted football games?

I would also like to hear why you hate a fish so much.

I don't know why we have to talk about bait shops, towns people and the like. This is about the people in the area being able to have the opportunity to fish Muskies.

Miltona is a ridiculously good walleye lake. One of many examples of lakes becoming a more healthy fishery when muskies are introduced to lakes that are suited for them. Alexander has come along way as well as becoming one of the better walleye lakes around.

We have all heard the negative attitudes towards muskies. But if you look at the people that are complaining about muskies, you will find these are the same stubborn people that love to complain about anything. It's easy for them to point fingers.

I agree. I am not a muskie fisherman, and I am a spearer. There needs to be more opportunity in central and southern parts of the state for muskies. I WOULD HATE THIS TO TURN INTO ANOHER MUSKIE GUY VS SPEARER THREAD, LIKE THE OTHER 5 THREADS THIS WINTER. I am all for opportunity for all. I believe it is well documented that there will be no bans on spearing. I do believe that there will be more slot lakes in the near future. But not due to the stocking of muskies. I personally do spear on lakes that have muskies and slots, the slot lakes are tough, but I am out there to see the fish. I have only speared 3 fish this year, two-4lbs northerns and a 5lbs sucker. Just my two cents.

Sorry everybody for taking mjgrose seriously. I didn't mean for this thread to become muskie guys vs the spearers. Thats the last thing I want. Hopefully in the future those two sides can work closer together to provide everybody with quality fishing everywhere in the state.

      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.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      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.
