Be careful on the rivers. Very careful. Like so careful, I wouldn't even try it except in places like the Croix in Bayport and Lake Pepin.

Where are you located at? I know there are a couple lakes in Eagan and St. Paul that were stocked with cats. Never caught one, but never really tried either.

first off welcome to the HSO family there are a bunch of great guys/gals on these forums.alot of good info here

Ive fished the Minnesota river with little to no luck for cats but I have caught eyes in the river thou..

As stated before be very very carefull on the river in the winter, one wrong step and the out come could be very bad.

I've been fishing the Horseshoe Chain near Richmond with some sucess. I havent really fished to many of the city lakes for kittys but I'm sure that with some perservirance and paitence they can be found there.

Dont forget to check out the COOL CATS 2010 at the Horseshoe Chain March 6th its a Get together for a bunch of us..

So the past week I went out twice on the croix at Bayport with no success. Bobbymalone you mention about some lakes around Eagan that were stocked with Cats, would you mind telling me which lakes? That would be great. If I cant find any lakes around the Twin Cities I might give Horseshoe Lake a try although its a bit of a drive. Do you guys know how safe the ice is out there and how the bites been?

Thanks

Anthony

Anthony-

Welcome to fishing minnesota!! I believe the lake he is referring is probably Fish Lake in Eagan. There are lots of cats in there. grin I have caught a few during soft water but haven't chased them when the water is hard. It's a pretty small lake so it shouldn't be to over whelming to start from scratch. Good Luck and let me know how you do...

      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.
