-10? I had -25 when I woke up. That'll perk up the ol' nips in a hurry. Still, it's good to know that someone, somewhere is fishing a bass tournament smile

I'm going to get into one of the tourneys on Leech this summer and partake of my first tournament fishing experience (assuming I can find someone crazy enough to fish along side me for a whole day!).

it was a tough bite for most of use today, i am fishing as a co- but the weather has stabilized so i think more bedders will be up tomorrow. we went looking for them this morning and found the one roland martin ended up catching but we fished her for about 2 hours and couldn't get her to go so we left and ended fishing rattletraps over grass in 3-5 fow i got my 3 for my limit of 5lbs 06 oz and a bonus gar around 5 lbs. tomorrows pro says we are making a big run to flip so hopefully he is on some fish that can put me in the race. the weather is really nice down here though we are in the 60's still.

Well that was rough today, my pro could get his fish to go this morning so he spent most of the day running and gunning to limited success. I had one around 3 on a trap boater went to net it and knocked it off, the only other boat i had was a crappie about 2lbs......

Well Chris Lane put on a show the final day!!! The kid is a stud on florida bass, the wind switched and muddied up the water he was fishing on the last day which left him scrabbling for cleaner water, which he found and proceeded to catch over 28lbs out of....... it was a lot of fun to be on the same water as the big time pros like Lane, Scroggins, Swindle, Martins and the like. I did get in to fish the northern opens as a pro which I am very excited about to only one that makes me nervous is the Detroit River/Erie simply because of how nasty it can get out there.....

Well, I learned about some different vegetation types (hydrilla, and Kissimmee grass) which fished a lot like milfoil and really thick reeds. I also have never fished pre-spawn fish so I learned a lot about what they set up on before they move shallow which for me meant shallow weeds just off shallow bedding cover (docks, pads, shallow wood that provided cover from above) and that these fish can be located pretty quickly with a rattle bait or a square billed crankbait which ever you feel the most confident in, and one located you should slow wwwwaaayyyyy down and try and mill that structure piece for more and bigger fish with plastic. Most importantly for me I learned the format and timeline for the Opens which I will be competing in later this year which was my original goal.

they were pre-spawn so most of the fish that I saw and caught were on weed just outside of spawn water which was fairly speed out, when you found it the weeds where thick but they weren't consistent..... I think finding fish down there is the same as here just scale every thing shallower.

      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.
