So what was it this last weekend that was so special?

I heard some of the best reports this year from this past weekend from all over the state. I seen pictures of huge fish brought through the ice, including a 51” Musky, a 45” Pike, Huge Lake Trout and some Hog Walleyes, not to mention fast action for Crappies, Perch, and Cats.

So was it the weather?

More people fishing?

Global Warming?

When will it happen again laugh

I think it's because you finally got up to Bruntside and got a little excitement which got your blood flowing again! laugh

Sunday was an awesome day with the decreased light levels and low pressure. The fish were very aggresive and easy to catch. Monday was a different story as the front passed. The fish were a bit tougher to catch and less aggresive. We had to downsize quite a bit to catch them. Now that the pressure is stabalizing we should see the activity start to pick back up soon. It was fun while it lasted. cool

Global Warming is the cause for everything. I bet it's that. wink

I have noticed that anytime a "slow" moving storm system, the fishing stays better longer before the storm comes through. I think when the bar. press. falls slowly for an extended pd of time is when the fishing stays good for any period of time. Just my observations/opinions. I notice this alot, especially during summer.

Yeah the lower pressure does usually make for better fishing. I’ve seen that too, but for some reason, the big fish were really being caught this past weekend. I try and pay close attention to that stuff all year, but something sure seemed different with all the big fish being caught throughout the state.

Well Dtro to answer your question the reason is that I've been fishing every single weekend without much success. So i decided to take a break last weekend and get some work done around the house. So seeing as how I wasn't on the lakes god decided to make all the fish go bonkers just to smite me. Hope everyone else enjoyed the weekend

Traxx, did Greg fish with you all weekend? Were you guys out on Gull or the other secret lake? I wish I could have made it up for Sundays fishing from the sounds of it. The eyes still biting on the Nland buckshots?

The Griz said in a Dennis Anderson article he had the best fishing the other week when it was high:

We found Griz was on his bucket, no hat, jigging.

"You're a day late,'' he said.

The wind had shifted and now blew from the east. Also the barometer had dropped.

Griz had a few perch on the ice. But no walleyes.

"The lake shut down,'' he said. "Yesterday I got those four walleyes right away. I caught 24 in all. Not today.''

Low or high, I think a sudden/drastic shift in the pressure has more of an effect on the bite!

      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.
