volunteers needed for "Georges tackle shop" at MN Muskie expo


Recommended Posts

The MN muskie expo or 'Georges expo" has more booths then it ever has and a trout pond for kids has been added.

theres always a big turnout by kids and organized kids groups but maybe quite a bit more this year.

Paul Hartman promoter and one of the owners of the show is looking for volunteers for "Georges kids tackle shop" to help show kids how to build their own lures,Bucktails yes even dbl 10's,,,Jigs and other tackle,,there is first class tools and supplies that will be used,,'NO experience needed' if you have never made lures before the vets of this project will show you how to do it. A chance to learn a new skill or just help get kids involved.

If intrested hours and any time your available would fit YOUR sced and of course free entrance to the show

Dave Knutson is heading this up if you have any intrest pleaase give him a call

651-455-9755

Would there possibly be potential to do this for 40 hours in the three days?

I'm currently a senior at the University of St.Thomas and in order to graduate the business program you are requierd to fullfill a business course called Business 200. Basically I have to volunteer with a non-profit program of my choice for a total of 40 hours. I'm an avid musky fisherman and would love to helpout! plus I could use a lesson on making and fishing up some of my musky baits! I know the expo isnt exactly a "non-profit" but if i could help out the kids and help out at the show I'm sure I could pass it off to my professor. Anyway I was just curious, and it sounds like a great time!

40 hours huh. Talk to me I can put you to work Muuaaaahhhaaahhaaaaa....

Aaammmm, I mean there are many fulfilling things for muskies you can do. j/k

The total for the expo probably wouldn't be 40 hours, but there's plenty of other things that need to be done where we could get you there.

You can drop me a line at [email protected]

    • 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.
