ice fishing formula

Recommended Posts

Wow really??? I didn't know fishing was a science. Most people call it a sport and make it challenging/fun.

I think it's both an art and a science which is what makes it challenging/fun.

From Webster's dictionary:

Definition of SCIENCE

1

: the state of knowing : knowledge as distinguished from ignorance or misunderstanding

2

a : a department of systematized knowledge as an object of study <the science of theology> b : something (as a sport or technique) that may be studied or learned like systematized knowledge <have it down to a science>

3

a : knowledge or a system of knowledge covering general truths or the operation of general laws especially as obtained and tested through scientific method b : such knowledge or such a system of knowledge concerned with the physical world and its phenomena : natural science

4

: a system or method reconciling practical ends with scientific laws <cooking is both a science and an art>

When I think about formulas that don't make sense to me I sometimes think of the scene from Rain Man when Charlie Babbitt is counting the cards at the Blackjack table and stacking his piles of chips. It is then I remember not everything might not be as it appears on the surface.

Hey this stuff really works. confused If you go by the gift store in Beaver bay there is a rock weather gage there hanging outside. If the rock is wet, it's raining. If the rock is white, it's snowing. If the rock is swinging, it's windy. If you can't see the rock, it's foggy! wink

Let Dw = Water Depth, Wc = Water Clarity, Id = Ice Depth, Ic = Ice Clarity, Sc = Snow Cover, and Lp = Light Penetration.

Dw is in feet, Wc is also in feet, Id in feet, Ic is a decimal, between .000 and 1, SC is in feet, and Lp will be in lumens. Your result will be N, BG, or G, N being natural, BG being bright or glow, and G being glow.

If Dw > 2(Wc) and Id < Sc....

sorry. Got away from myself there. Phew almost went back to my calc days. that'd be a hoot.

QED and stuff.

Huh? LOL!

    • 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.
