Stop the shock-and-awe story set to air on Channel 5 Thursday night. They are running previews for the story this morning and from the sounds of things, a couple uninformed or misleading locals are trying to get their voice out there against the stocking of Muskies in the 5 proposed lakes. We need to email the folks at Channel 5 and let them know how we feel about this. They need to get the facts before running a story like this, and from the looks of the previews, they didn't even bother to check the legitimacy of any of the story's guest's claims. We need to let our voice be heard. We need the public to know the truth, rather than a bunch of propaganda.

I will be preparing my letter and sending it over this morning. Lets try to keep it civil, based on the scientific studies, and make sure the voice of the DNR's biologists are heard.

Sorry I couldn't get back earlier, had to wait til lunch break. My email has been sent. I don't mind them running a story if all sides are represented fairly. The promo this morning did not lead anyone to believe those for the stocking and the biologists/representatives of the MN DNR were going to have any input. If it is basically just a different format for the ad in the ODN, muskies are once again going to be the black sheep in the eye of many.

You're also failing to point out the fact that the teaser doesn't mention one specific species of fish that the DNR is stocking. I would be willing to wager that someone at the DNR, who works in the fisheries department, was interviewed for the segment. Do you think the DNR doesn't support your side of the issue or would you rather have a Muskies Inc representative give their unbiased opinion?

Maybe they should ask some trout guys how they feel about how the limited MnDNR fish stocking dollars are spent?

Cut back trout stocking, increase muskie stocking.

Makes you wonder why there is a trout stamp and no muskie stamp?

Here we go again. If you last two had seen the teaser you'd have seen they were talking about muskie, and with a pretty good slant to the story, as is usually the case with our completely objective, non-sensationalized media.

The byline uses phrases like: "is it right to stock a top predator" and "should people who don't even own property on a lake and out of staters decide what is stocked into our waters?"

One fish budget does not take away from the next get your facts straight. Again.

Funny how that works in your world....

There is only so much money in the pot.

You spend it on X there is none left for Y.

Allot like the lakes in MN

There are only so many lbs of fish a lake will support.

If you spend those lbs on adding species X there will be less of species Y.

Manny will try to make you believe it don't work like that though. confused

Want to use tax money to stock more muskies, support a muskies stamp to at least offset the costs a little bit instead of rolling out the Astroturf of your so called "grass roots" campaign.

Stop treating the common fisherman like they are idiots and stop trying to control everything and everyone around any lake that does have muskies in it.

My biggest beef is not with the muskies in the lakes it is with the small percentage of muskie proponents representing them.

Just my two sense.

      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.
