Well, let me be clear when I say that everyone should look for their own fishing spot AT LEAST 10' from anyone else. But, I also have to say that IF someone invades your spot be nice and state what you feel they have done. I believe anyone on this forum can read other peoples reactions for experience. If someone is within that 10' range, simply walk away and call the DNR, if its a big deal to you. Me, I dont care and have been aproached by many people asking if i was catching anything, I always tell the truth and get a kick out of watching others catch crappies next to me.

They always are polite and say what a great person I am to share and how happy they are, but truth be told, its them who make me happy.

Now I have a friend that just started ice fishing. I certainly hope that none of us have gotten so full of ourselves that we cannot recongnize someone that needs our help and someone just being an [badWordUsage] looking to make a dumb point. There is a difference.

It's the point of the concern with the 10' law based on safety on the ice? To reduce the risk of structures being too close and overburdening the integrity of the ice or causing melt down upon another structure with it's reflexivity upon the ice?

I was under the impression it was solely a ice safety issue, and the rest of the proximity concerns was a point of manners and decorum amongst fisherman to sort out on there own.

Probably because they weren't fishing next to anyone when they set up. They were fishing next to an empty shack.

The presence of a plywood box left unoccupied on the ice is not a claim to ownership of the area. I don't have any interest in setting up close to an empty fish house, but if I did, I wouldn't be in the wrong. The guy who thinks he owns the structure under him whether he's there or not would.

Im kinda lost here by some of the posts...The original post stated the guy parked closer then 10 ft but I didnt see any one state that he was fishing within 10 ft of this permanant house and thats where the 10 ft law comes into play ,,,Permanent shelters have been around a lot longer then portables so outlawing them probably wont happen ,,,,In my experience the wheel houses get moved frequently but a lot of skid houses are placed for the season and only get moved to get on the ice and off the ice at the end of the season ,,,I dont see many people with permies complaining that another permy set up too close to them ,,,Its always been the guys with portables ,,,the guys with portables get a longer season as they can get on the ice earlier and can fish longer after the permies have to be taken off the ice ,,,each one has advantages ,,,Get over it or get one of each

The problem my cousin had was with the gentlemen parking his truck so close that he couldn't even swing the shack door open all the way, without hitting the guys truck with it. Remember how you feel when parking at a parking lot and the guy next to you parks so close, you can't open your door? Now, you're on a huge frozen lake, and that same jackwagon decides to block you in. I really don't see how, empty or not, anyone should be able to park anywhere near that close. It seems to me, the a-hole did it intentionally, as it would take some skillful parking to get that close to the shack.

Im lost to how any one thinks its cool or "right" to park their house or their vehicle that close. for any reason. Is that the person is on "your" spot. seriously there's a lot of lakes and a lot of space on those lakes. if there's already someone there permanent portable or whatever you don't have to sit right on top of them. fish have this wonderful ability its called swimming they don't just float under a single spot they move around. If i pull on a lake the last place i'm going is where someone is already sitting. I'm sorry but if you park right on top of somebody your a jack hole.

I was going to add to my post but cant find the "edit" option

Its not a perm vs portable issue or about your means of travel on the ice ,,,,Its about the "additude' of the some of the people out there fishing ,,,there is not test to check a persons additude when buying a fishing licence ,,,,So the people out there with the "its all about me" mentality are going to be on the lakes

The people with the "its all about me" attitude should be messed with. I have no problem being a (insert insult) to someone who has no courtesy. I have bit my lip for people being (insert insult) that when I run into it now the gloves are already off.

Seems a little far fetched. Are you sure your cousin wasn't embellishing the story a little for dramatic effect? So he cant open the door.... So the truck was parked within 2 feet of the shack? Is this shack banked at all? Was he parked up on the bank? I'd love to see a picture of this parking job and hire the guy if he has this kind of tight space ability. Maybe he can drive a fork lift for me.

Seems to me, your the one with the attitude. Big talk, but what you never know what the other guy is capable of. He might be 6'6", 280. Or he might be packing heat. Still want to mess with him and pop holes all the way around him? He might be the local sheriff. Still want to pop holes all around him? I'm sure he can find something to ticket you with or charge you with. If your such a grown up, maybe you should just move on and forget about it.

normaly its just really loud music or constantly drilling holes i dont plan on fishing. However I normaly look for new spots to get away from people and I only mess with the ones that insist on fishing ontop of the guy that is way off by himself.

      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.
