Lake has some good perch in and as well as smallies and walleyes. This past summer I know of guys who did very well on eyes off the deep gravel bar off the east shore that comes up to 10-15 ft on top. If you get a map you'll see where I am talking about.

Can't help you much Honkerhunter, it's been a pretty slow ice season for me. I know I'm going to start trying some deeper water off some of the humps. It's getting late in the year and the oxygen levels should be getting low in the shallower water.

Maybe try a jigging spoon type lure (Swedish pimple, Northland Buckshot) and pound the bottom to get their attention. That stirs up the mud and mimics the different bugs that burrow in for the winter. Then have a minnow on a tip-up or a dead stick with a minnow next to it. Also downsizing helps this time of year. Smaller minnows and smaller jigs.

Haven't been on Round yet this year, but I can say that I've seen a few guys running atvs on Grindstone. Hopefully someone can chime in with an ice report for Round. If I manage to get over there, I'll bring you back a report of what I find.

Well, I'm heading up to Hayward on Friday and going to fish Round on Saturday. This will be my first time ever on the lake and not sure what to expect but looking forward to trying to figure it out.

Would appreciate it if anyone could provide any advice? Is anyone else fishing?

Thanks!

tuff lake to fish in winter. but if you find the walleyes you will find a bunch. some guys i know have been fishing out there. some nights they get a bunch, some nights none. cold front will not help. fishing structure or weeds anywhere from 15 to 35 fow. lots of bars, points, mid lake humps and bays that can be good. if you got a general area in mind, might be able to help.

Well, had a great time fishing round for the first time. Got out Friday evening from 4-7, set up in 18 fow and caught 3 and lost one (16", 14" & 11"). Caught them on a shiner dead-stick and a chub head on a swimming jig. All action was between 430-6.

Went out the next day from 9-3 to a different spot and set up in 29 fow. Marked a few but never even got a bite. The weather was quite wicked with high winds, temps hovering around -6 and windchill around -30.

Being alone, I made the decision that I would not be moving as getting set up in the wind once was enough for me. I did throw a tip up near me in 32 fow but had nothing on that either and the tip up drifted over in about 20 mins anyways lol.

Biggest surprise was when I happened to glance down the hole at one point and realized I could see the bottom in 29'! Really a beautiful lake with hardly any fishing pressure (I saw one other fisherman each day).

Wish the weather had been more cooperative to be mobile on Saturday but still had a blast. At least now I know why this forum is so DEAD. Not many people fishing!

      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

      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.
