Forest lake was packed on Sunday. I was first guy to get to access at 430ish but There was long lines of rig access 5-530am.. Everywhere you turn there's Muskie anglers. Even seen 5 boats work same small area. Had enough of it so I left at 1030am

always, packed like a zoo. that's why i went over to WI. more quiet over there on MN opener.

I had a whole lake to myself for most of a beautiful Sunday afternoon/evening over there. Boated 2 little guys but even if I hadn't it still would have been a fantastic day on the water.

Went out Wednesday morning on Bald Eagle. Couldn't believe the amount of pressure for a mid week morning. Just about every boat I saw was throwing for muskies. Fished from 5am to 10:30am. When I left at 10:30, the lot was almost full. The pike were biting but no skis.

Gotta remember everyone, tournament this weekend on the waters mentioned here, so that might be why the pressure is up on some lakes. Metro Muskie Tournament on 16 different waters this Saturday, and if people are entered, they are probably searching for some sort of pattern to get a heads up for Saturday...

Just a thought

Pressure remains anywhere from stupid to retarded this week...lol.

Tonka hasn't been on the list from the get go, I believe it's because the george tourney cover it and there was a possibility of a MAC event being there. What a pipe dream that circuit is/was...lol.

Got out Wednesday evening on a metro lake and there was quite a bit of competition - one of every two boats fishing appeared to be throwing big lures. We boated a 43 fairly quickly and all of the sudden the pressure didn't seem like a very big deal smile

Musky fishing is attracting more and more anglers every year...

Way too many cool jocks out there lookin' for trophies and acting like dinks.

No doubt, how about the guy the other night who came up and fished in the same corner I was in at 11pm at night. I could see over 2500 acres of water and we were the only two boats out there, ended up thumbing casts to keep it away from them. Get a clue you morons.

was out yesterday morning/afternoon and today morning/afternoon and was sick to my stomach the amount on people on the lake throwing for skis, t-storms/rain, wind (east wind at that), cooling water temps, more rain and wind, pass fronts, talk about less then ideal conditions, but there were still people out in the middle of the week... remember when people had jobs? I had the time off work... guess wednesday, thursday and friday are all the new saturday.

Stringerless - that just makes me ill - so pretty good odds the fish will need a month to recover at being smacked in the head all day...

How much fun do you really think it is to be fishing on a lake that is that busy, I would rather stay home and pound my thumb with a hammer repeatedly.

i hate to think about what the pressure there is going to do to the pressure around here. Opener was scary busy, but the rest of the week was manageable. I've run into some idiots on the water around here, and sadly to say it's usually not the local guys. Hopefully the people that do make the drive to fish around here are the ones with some manners.

Agree, most don't have manners. Just what I see. Been fishing muskies for 30 years now and I've ran into some of the rudest musky guys over the last few years. Not only here in the metro but north on some well known lakes as well.

In regards to tournaments. I think they are getting out of hand and should be limited to one a year to support muskies inc and restocking efforts. Other than that way too much pressure on the muskies.

      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

      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.
