Wild thing how was your trip?

From talking to people some are catching fish and others are having a hard time, be it walleyes or crappies . Had a chance for a trip by sled up to White Fish Bay. Its snowed most of the time we were on the lake. There is slush in a lot of spots now. Here's a video from our trip..... Ted needs a TV show I am thinking

Enjoy

Hi Robert, this is Well Fed Ted's friend Tom. I registered on this site so I can chime in once in a while. It was nice to see you again and I enjoyed fishing lakers with you on Sunday. I had great time especially with the mini snow storm around us. Great video of the laker.

Hey guys was out on Saturday, fished walleyes and pike out west. Sled travel was good with some slush spots. Walleyes were slow the pike on tip ups were the thing to catch. There's a tournament this weekend, Big Island is putting it on. Have fun out there

Thanks for the report Rob, I'll actually be up in Whitefish Bay over the weekend. Have you heard anything in the last week or so about slush and drifts up there?

My son took a group up to get some crappies on the weekend, trail is a little rough. If you don't care about burning more fuel its way nicer to ride beside the trail. They caught a mess of crappies and even a few walleyes in the mix. Bring your extension for your auger just in case.

Cheers

WT - That 21" smally must have been fun through the ice. Our group is heading up Friday coming back Wednesday. I will provide a full report. We plan on targeting trout most the time. Hopefully with the good snow cover and moderate temps we'll be able to get back into some fun lakes.

We fished 3/4 of the day on Friday and fishing was pretty slow with 3 of us catching about 40 walleyes/saugers. Very inactive fish with major work needed to get most of them to bite. Saturday we fished from about 930am to dark and iced around 100 walleyes/saugers, 2 tullibee, 3 eelpout, and a 31" pike with many missed/lost fish. The fish were much more active and caught better quality fish too with many 16-22" walleyes mixed in.

We fish a reef in 25' on Friday and a different reef in 27' on Saturday. Gold spoons were our best jigging lure by far and it didn't seem to matter the hook/jig color that was under the bobber with a minnow, all seemed to produce.

We shoveled down to the ice and then augered and did not need an extention.

Ducks and Bucks- thanks for the report. We are headed up early Friday and really looking forward to the trip. Anyone make the trip from Morson to WFB for lakers lately? Wondering about trail conditions and bite?

Thanks!

Fished Saturday to Tuesday. Mostly went after trout in WFB. Had a great trip. Points and seemed to be the ticket. Two days we were able to manage the trifecta catching trout, eyes, and crappies. It was pretty cool. Fished one 30 ft. reef for the eyes and it was productive. Crappies were off a point in about 15-25 feet of water. Conditions were good most of the time but we did manage to get stuck in slush a couple times. Caught my personal best 33" trout and followed it up with a 38" trout a couple hours later. I was pretty excited. Well only about 359 days until we do this again! Looking forward to getting back up there in June to summer walleye fish.

Heading up Friday for my 4th trip in the past 6 weeks! woo=hoo! Weather looks more like January, but who cares....

....at this weekend last year no more cars or snowmobiles on the ice, it was already melting! What a difference a year makes! Be safe, ya'all!

Wow! Had a great trip but again shortened because of oncoming storm.

WE fished Saturday and Sunday. Caught some MASSIVE crappies near a secret reef only 4 miles out from the cabin. Not a lot, but nearly all were over 13" We kept 18 for the two of us.... went up on top of the reef and hammered the walleyes from 4 p.m. to 6:30 in 14 feet, secret lure that glows red... many 16-17 inchers, one near 20... On Sunday it was -22 below zero in the a.m.! More like January than March... did warm up nice in the afternoon fishing was slower but my buddy landed more nice crappies and I landed a 27" walleye! My biggest of the winter... caught a ton of tiny saugers, too, 12" and under... left late Sunday afternoon to beat the storm home..

A very great trip, likely my last for this winter.... there is TONS of sow up there and lots of ice, Id say at least another two weeks of ice fishing... right through the end of the month.... snow conditions on the ice were very good not too bumpy and NO SLUSH...

be safe all

We got back late last night with a story similar the Wild Thing's. Got up later than we had hoped Friday evening but had time to run out and catch a limit of walleyes. Sat we went to Miles for crappies. Didn't catch a ton but most were slabs. Ran back for the evening walleye bite and had non-stop action, landing over 100 for 4 of us. Most were small but we did get 3 over 22 including a 24". Ran up to WFB Sunday morning, it was cold but the wind finally died. Nice run up there, trail was in good shape. First spot had a lot of slush and not fish. Second spot was much more solid and had a great bite. We fished there about 3 hours and landed 5 lakers, lost 2 and I got my personal best, a 38". Was a great day but we had to leave about 2:30 to close up the cabin and get home before the snow hit. full-27936-31173-img_1767.jpg

      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.
