Catfishing Arts and Crafts

Recommended Posts

Some of you might know that last year I started using a rattling bobber for Flathead Fishing as described here Crappie Gear for Flatheads

Well I was going through some of my supplies here recently and realized I only had 1 left, so I guess it's time to restock!

These crappie bobbers, while not very expensive, can take a toll when you are going through a bunch of them. So, I think I came up with an inexpensive alternative.

Take a look:

You guys are worse than my wife laugh

Yes, please be careful, but these bobbers are such cheap plastic that I used very little downward pressure/force and not only that, but sometimes you just need to pull the dress up and get some business done. Pretty sure I got flak for wearing a glove a time or two landing a flathead last year. smile

Hey Rob, what is this Project Runway you speak of? Is it a TV show? Maybe you could tell us about your favorite episode. wink

I still gotta figure out how to sew on a button.

You don't have to sew. I think that glue gun would work on buttons. Just glue your buttons on and then proudly say "There I fixed that!" You might want to use Gorilla Glue on your jeans fly buttons though. You don't want something falling out from your swim suit area.

Why do I have trouble picturing Rushing watching some show called "Project Runway"? Amazing the stuff you pick up following these posts.

My fave ep is when that flamboyant cat guy from Jordan hot glued a bunch of bobbers together to make himself a purty Lady Gaga inspired skirt. It sure rattled nice as he walked down the runway. laugh *Work it girl...snaps twice in the air* :P

I think a dremel tool would be a little more safe or in John's case a...

Dark,

Thanks for the video. I haven't been able to stop thinking about all the wonderful things I can sew buttons to. I think I need buttons on my head for my toupe. Some buttons on the side of the boat for attaching the net, the fish towel, etc. etc.

I think buttons will make everything better and I am sending Jenny some fan mail. She changed my life.

And for some advice for all the would be wizards out there......this kid is pretty good and his moves and wand tricks can't be taken lightly. I think I sprained my kidney on the taco wand wave......

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • 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.
