I hate to miss it, I've been to a few in years past. Unfortunately you didn't check with my calendar before scheduling a date! grin I've got a fishing trip/bachelor party that weekend. Looking forward to pictures!

The big event is on Saturday! Get out your portable fish houses and bring them by for a chance to win some great prizes! Also, remember there is a FREE raffle for everyone who attends... as well as FREE food and FREE seminars! Talk to company reps and enjoy a day of ice fishing talk in September! Things kick-off at 9am but we open at 5:30am if you want to stop through early... I will be there bright and early when the store opens to talk ice fishing with anyone willing to listen smile

My timing couldn't be any better. I'll actually be in the area on September 25th. With that said I'll be attending a family wedding. It's also my 28th wedding anniversary that day as well. What do you think my chances will be of making it to the(Portable Modification Get-together)??

I hope everyone has a great time, I'll be there with you in spirit to some extent. grin

I also have a wedding to attend Saturday...dang. Was really hoping to make it to this one after seeing the pictures from last year.

Maybe I'll see you at the wedding.

i definitely will be stopping by to check out this event as it is not too far from my house. can't wait to see all the cool stuff and gear up on some ice fishing gear. lots of big ice fishing trips planned this year, including 2 to LOTW, so i am itching to fill the tacklebox with a bunch of new toys

They will have tons of ice gear on sale and on display. This week is ramp up time to prep the store for the on-coming ice season and the get-together is the grand kick-off. It is something you certainly don't want to miss. Infact, with the new location, the ice gear is always on display somewhere, you just have to ask where. Usually it is moved up to the seminar room upstairs and still available for viewing.

I will be there with my modded Fish Trap Guide. I built a plywood storage system into it that holds everything I need in a day's fishing and more, without the mess. I will also have my Blue-Box Hot-Rod out there on display. What is that you ask? It is the old style Vexilar Blue Box that I have added custom heavy duty pvc rod holders to along with a ram mount for the Lowrance H2O gps. I have also added some velcro strips to the blue box along with my containers for Gulp! Alive plastics, so they don't fall off or spill or leak. Works pretty awesome. Most of my ice season, I get by with my auger and the blue box, no real need for a house. But when I bring the little guy, he likes to use the house too. I might have a couple rods rigged with fly-reels out there too. wink

Awesome! I've never been to the store before so I'm excited, I think I'm going to swing by early to do some shopping and then again around 1-2ish with a buddy to check out the mods!

EVERYTHING is the store will be on sale! smile Whether you want an ice fishing rod or a muskie rod... everything will be discounted.

As far as ice fishing gear in-stock, we just got our Clam order in that took us about 3-hours to unload smile... so the ice gear is starting to pile up! Not to mention new MarCum, Vexilar and many other company products recently added to the store! When you come on Saturday you will see the line of Clam, Frabill and Otter fish houses... plus all of the Vexilar, MarCum, Humminbird, Strikemaster, Jiffy, Lindy, Northland, Custom Jigs and Spins, Berkley, Rose Creek, Reel Weeds, Today's Tackle, Aqua Vu, Catch Cover, Cold Snap Outdoors, Abu Garcia, plus more! The first chance ANYWHERE to see the new line of products for 2010/2011 by all of our favorite ice fishing companies!

See everyone on Saturday! smile

    • 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.
