Okay, so for the 4th of July I was going to go to Orlando, but for various reasons it's not going to work out.

Now, I have my choice of basically anywhere in MN or ND - it's a long weekend. I live in Fargo, so I'm roughly located in the middle of the two states.

The possibilities I have considered so far are:

-Otterail Lake (MN)
-Mille Lacs (MN)
-Devils Lake (ND)
-Lake Sakawea (ND)
-Lake of the Woods (MN)

Obviously I am fishing for walleye and I'd like to do well (of course! DUH!)

Any thoughts on which lake you'd pick if you had a long weekend and your choice? Anyone?

I'm also open to others, but these are the obvious choices within roughly a 3 hour drive.

Well, I'm biased toward the Ottertail area since I live there. Many, many lakes to choose from if the wind starts to blow on the big water. Lots of lakes to chase panfish if there are young children along for the trip. Not nearly congested as some of the other areas you mention.

You really can't go wrong with any of the areas that you listed. This is a great state to vacation in for sure.

I'll have to go with Duluth too. Area lakes are good for walleyes. Superior will be prime on this end at that time. Bring your own boat or get out on a charter.
They have a great fireworks display and canal park has the shopping and eats. I like takin the kids to Bonanzas to play and then walk over to Famous Dave's For the Fest for Two. Take the wife and kids to park point and lay in the sun and swim. We have the Great lakes aquarium and there will be free blues concerts at Bay Front. You'll have to sit on the canal and watch a few ships come in then visit the Great Lakes Museum. A cruise along SkyLine Drive overlooks the city and you can walk up Inger Tower. Theres also a few golf courses id your into that.

Waubay Lake SD, This lake is having results similar to that of mille lacs last summer, people are catching hundreds of fish a day, also other lake in area like enemy swim are very good. Good Luck

ST....I agree with you on all points. For those who have not done Duluth, they have not done squat. We have a cabin north of Two Harbors and on every trip we will take time to go to Duluth to try something new.Done that for years and never get it all done. And that Enger Park....awesome.

Sure life happens- why wait....The Crapster....good fishing guys!

You can go to Otter Tail anytime if you live within an hour or so of it. If you have a family this might be the best option you listed though. Shopping, good fishing for everything and everyone.

You can't beat Lake of the Woods, near Warroad, this time of the year when eyes go ballistic on the reefs. I would love to make it up there again this July. Simply incredible fishing!

Good luck finding a place to vacation in such short notice!!

      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.
