crazy thing happened today. i was out on the lake. Lake Darling to be exact. and i caught a shorthead redhorse! first shorthead redhorse i have seen in the chain!

its a little guy, but still a shorthead! what was crazy, is that he was alot taller than the shortheads i get in rivers, which are more torpedo shaped. kinda cool to see how where fish live effect what they look like

i went back to that spot today. the water level was up and the fishing was slow. a couple cats, a couple smallies, way to many drum. i'm really not liking all the rain we're getting

You should have added a pic of the water going over the dam.

Dan Rodewald (DrRodey) and his first bowfin from last night!

IMG_02701600x1200.jpg

i hooked into 2 bowfin last night. the first one was a monster! but it tangled in the anchor rope, and we couldnt get the net under it with all its splashing around, and it pulled off! the other one just through the hook.. i was horsing them in quite a bit because i was using my heavy rod so that was probably the main reason. we were float fishing with cut bait.

but we wasted a whole bunch of time fishing for snappers before the bowfin bite.

i saw the first one and wanted to catch it, and his was the only one set up with a heavy bobber and a big hook. and it broke his rod... oops! blush

so after that dan wanted to catch his first snapper. and we were having them come up all around us, then dive back down. like they were trying to ambush us. lol. it wasnt working too well because they were leaving a huge trail of bubbles from the bottom.

number 2! feisty thing..

i also caught one while fishing for bowfin. (was actually the one dan was going for lol)

no picture because it was bleeding a bit from the hook wound

    • 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.
