Opener!!!! So where is everyone heading?


Recommended Posts

Boy this year may have some cold water and maybe even ice still if this weather pattern continues. We are thinking we may try Namakagon this year (1st for us). Anyone ever try it? Tips? What are others plans for opener? Little more than 3 weeks away. Hope we can get out

"It is true, water is down already on the flowage"

Dang, I hope its not too low already. I have a feeling its gonna be a good opener with the late spring. The eyes are probably gonna be concentrated...unless the waters too low then who knows.

18 days til opener and still ice fishing... i highly doubt it that we will be ice free for opener but if we are the water will be cold and the walleyes probably will still be in the spawn stages and as for the Minong it should be fishable being that they are not starting the draw down until the end of April so it wont go down that fast so you could'nt fish opener

I can't even get my boat out of storage yet. For the opener I HOPE that I can at least have the boat in the driveway and get my new i-Pilot on and the usual spring stuff that's done annually. At least I refilled the L/U and winterized the gas and motor. Should just need to reload the boat, check the trailer bearing grease, and put the new troller on. But I'm sure the God's are not smiling on us, so I'm sure there will be more in store for the boat.

Looks like we will be hitting the Spooner Hayward area for the opener. Hoping to get on chip, otherwise word is that most smaller lakes are open. Hoping lakes around here open up by end of weekend or sooner! What are your plans??

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • 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.
