in the past i subscribed to many outdoor magazines. personaly the articles seem the same every year. photography is very good. however just too many adds and the same information over and over for me. i can find out the same or more here at HSO than in these types of magazines. plus local information that you dont get from these nation wide papers. good luck.

Ok just opened up the plastic and I have to say I'm a little disappointed. The included ads for reeds and Frabill are larger than the magazine. I have iceguides going back at least 5 years and they seem to be about half as thick as they used to be. OK done with my rant. Still excited to get started on the read.

yeah, the ads can be somewhat redundant! but there are some new ads/wants! it was nice to see Frabill with a nicely laid out booklet! yes i fly the Frabill Freak Flag!! LOL!!Reeds also had an ad that i personally look forward to every year!! i guess for me, it's nice to see Frabill get the attention they so deserve!! they are more than minnow buckets and nets!!you know... after posting so much in favor for Frabill,.. and use it daily on a guiding level,..its nice to see all companies competing for THE hardwater status!! each one offers something a little different! no matter!! i CAN'T wait till the ice gets here!!LOL!!

I've got every ice guide going back to the late 90's, each year the "substance" seems to be less, and the ads/promotion seems to be more. That and the issue gets smaller each year it seems. And many of the articles are just rehashed articles of old, maybe told in a little different way. For example the lake trout articles are pretty much the same info every year.

Yeah I quite buying them a few years ago due to the magazine being mostly adds. If I wanted to look at adds, I would have got a cabela's/Gander Mtn magazine.

All magazines are getting bad. Only one that the articles are more than the adds is the Outdoor news.

Well this brings us to an interesting point: in this day and age, other than advancements in technology, what NEW can be said about ice fishing that we haven't already been told? I mean, the basics are out there. And we've come a LONG way from even 5-10 years ago. Now I'm not saying we've reached a crescendo in the sport, but I honestly don't know what else their is to learn about it.

In fact, the same can be said for soft water fishing. While a an individual person may not know everything there is to know about catching bass or walleyes, the info is out there and has been for years and years. Sure, there's a new lure that comes out or a new type of line. The equipment might change and advance. But the actual FISHING itself is still the same as it has been since the dawn of time: get in an area that has fish, present them with something they are inclined to eat, reel in and repeat.

      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.
