Throw a flasher down that whole and you'll be all set!

Tried that grin was only 14 ft deep and the angle was too wide on the transducer; it was marking all the supports, cross bracing, and posts and did not really allow for it to used. Oh well, the fish were just stacked and was not too hard fishing the "old fashioned way" smile

Looks to me that the hole is for exactly for what he's doing! Too cool! That's a deep dock setup...14'.

I think I'd set up a porty over it and then look at em look.

setting up a porty over it would be a good way to block the rain if it was raining out.

OIE!!!!! Next time i have a 85 year old that had a stroke and lost the use of much of one hand, who has never used a smartphone camera, in a lighthearted thread, I will be sure to make him get better picture of the dock behind the dock the photo will be taken on as well as try to provide better documentation of the depth I am fishing at grin

If you "observe" a little closer, you will see the blue foam panels under the dock. Once the dock brackets are disconnected from the leveling posts, the docks are literally floated in and the wheel that you see sticking out of the water will be....well....umm.....a wheel.....for putting in, taking out, and moving around on land. Suppose i should not mention that those fish were 13 inches either shocked

Very cool and nice crappies! I did something very similar at a public fishing pier last fall. I walked out there with my a net, ice fishing pole and my flasher. The people that were on the dock already gave me some wierd looks but I went a head and did it anyway. Right away i started catching fish. Caught alot of nice crappies a few like yours but most were smaller. Then out of no where i caught four 14 to 16inch walleyes. While this was going on the other people on the dock didn't catch a single fish and ended up going home skunked.

Ok lighthearted thread lol, so maybe ive played one to many of the whats the difference in the photo games in my day. Those are nice crappies and "maybe" just maybe there was a tinge of jealousy of someones great time. No insult intended. Apology given!

      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.
