10 inch bullheads

It's attached to a bill being debated today I think. My opinion is that there are so many other statutes in this bill (Cass Lake spearing, 2 lines, scopes on muzzleloaders) that it probably won't get much attention. That could be a good or bad thing.

Correct me if I am wrong but wasn't the bullhead rule supposed to just be implemented by the DNR if no one voiced opinion otherwise @ their meeting in April or something? I don't see the point in having our elected representatives having a say in the thing. Just takes longer to get things passed...

Cheers DTro. Thanks for the links and update.

As for the potential of two lines, I'm all for it. The idea of attaching it to the conservation license would be even more appealing. Plenty of cat, sturgeon and muskie guys would really enjoy the option when targeting apex predators. I won't be holding my breath though. wink

Other than the legislature makes the laws.

We wouldn't want police departments across the state making up their own laws for the sake of efficiency would we?

Remember the most efficient form of government is a dictatorship.

If the bullhead rule is attached to the others and it dies, so goes the bullhead change.

They really need to pass these on their own merits and not tie it all together. I guess thats the way the good ol boys club works.

Business as usual.

Hi guys!

Harvey, I agree with you 100%

Senator Chaudhary agreed to place the wording in the Omibus bill with the blessing of our DNR. Mostly because it's taken so long. This Dec it will be six years since our first meeting with the DNR.

The idea was to "just get it done" through the bill, then the day after the Gov. signs it, it would be law. Just about the time a person thinks it's a done deal...the DNR sends a letter to the Gov. stating they don't support the bill (not the bullhead law).

So if the bill dies, we still have the RULE process that hasn't stopped. This was what the hearings were about. Earliest time line on the rule change is August 2010.

If you wish to support the legalizing of bullheads up to 10 inches as bait, please send our Gov. a quick email.

Make up your own wording. Short and to the point. 6 years is a long time to wait for a no brainer.

Thanks in advance for your support!

I guess that begs the obvious question... Were they <7"?

Yes, they were. I have been checked with Jeff a few times in Kato, and I can't seem to remember ever catching any bullies over 7" in our old honeyhole ... I could be wrong though, but they did stick their noses in our bait buckets making sure ... just be smart about it, a law is a law smirk

    • 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.
