Pheasants are not native to Minnesota, let alone this country. They were put here.

I'm guessing the "pheasant" connection was pointed out because your username is "BrdHunter01".

Thanks for clearing that up! A pheasant is like a muskie. Now I get it! I'll be sure to pass that on to my kids

K then don't tell me what we should put in these lakes! If you know anything at all you would know how the DNR managed another species they stocked in the chain...

Catfish? One of the best channel cat fisheries around.

Do most of you non muskie fisherman realise that by adding muskies to a sytem it will make it a better fisherie??? I'm glad I live and fish on muskie waters, the best fishing in the state for all species of fish. Quality walley, perch, monster gills, crappies, pike smallouth and largemouth. So in the 40 years muskies have been in my waters the fishing remains fantstic.

and who are you to say to not put them in? I trust the DNRwith ALL of our species.. weather it is pheasants, deer, walleyes, catfish turkey ect... They are doing an awesome job and we are lucky to be sportsman in MN.

And Merk, dude.... spend your time reading and searching for REAL facts like the guys you always argue against do.. Why do you even waste your time with generic and vague statements? They don't get anywhere on here. Let's be positive!

Don't really want to get into the argument here but the lakes are public water belonging to everyone. Doesn't matter whether you live on or near the lake or the other side of the state, we all own the waters. Another slant the Channel 5 promo was trying to play; talking like the lake belongs to the homeowners on the lake.

Muskie angling by men/women/children is reasonably seen as the fastest growing aspect of fishing in MN for any species. Its recent growth has been explosive. The MNDNR doesn't take the addition of a fish like this into any body of water lightly, any fish into any body of water for that matter but as a "fishing" state it only makes sense to at least consider expanding opportunities for this segment of anglers.

Not all lakeshore owners are on board, not all area residents will be on board nor should they all be expected to be on board for a change like this. Whats funny is the piling on of people like Merk who show their true colors as anti-muskie folks. No one is threatening northern pike spearing in any of these waters are they?

Its well known amongst the angling community that fishing on most/all muskie waters is fantastic for pretty much everything that swims in the lake including stocked muskie waters. Bemidji - wow tremendous walleye angling. Vermilion - super fishery for big pike, smallies and walleyes. Oh don't forget its also full of nice pannies too! Anyone ever fish walleyes on Plantagenet? If not you should cause its awesome. Fishing in muskie waters in the DL area is pretty darn good. Alex? Miltona? Maybe not every situation in every state has worked out super awesome, but almost all of them have and the MNDNR has proven over and over again to make intelligent decisions on stocking muskies.

In many waters muskies simply replace a top predator that was there naturally but has been unnaturally removed - big pike! These predators keep lakes in proper balance. Given restrictions on harvest and the overall catch and release ethic of most muskie anglers, muskies can bring the ecology of a lake back in line and provide better opportunities for everyone who enjoys the water for any species they choose to pursue.

      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.
