Crappie Fever


Recommended Posts

Yeah, Matt Johnson has been slaying the slabs all winter, and I gotta say I envy the guy.
Not nescessarily because of his natural knack for finding the fish and consistantly getting them to bite, (not that it wouldn't be easy to envy a guy like that) but because the guy has found the TIME to go do it.

So, just yesterday, I realized the ice has started to pull away from a few shorelines, and I remembered, my boat likes to go fishing too!

Well, folks, I got the itch, and I will do anything to make my boat happy too, after all, it's my one true "baby", so when the ice melts, get out of the way, cuz I got to take my boat fishing!

WARM WEATHER BE WITH US ALL!!!

UJ....You have just proven that the dead do rise! Is it work or women that keeps you off the internet? And the ice/water? Word has it that the reason Matt is doing so good is that you offer him no competition and I know when I'm out-gunned..Tell you what you need to do....take the boat and go to Red Wing dam and fish for some waldos/sauger, just to get the knots out of your gut. Take the little lady along. Good to hear from you!

It is both work and women (a woman I should say) in even proportions my friend that has kept me from my hobbie, passion, and skill.

I think it would be very interesting to see the results of a "fish off" between Matt and myself. However, I don't feel like losing, so it may not be a great idea (at least for my end of the bargain).

I better go get the boat. I can feel it now!!!

    • 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.
