Anyone else headed to the Northern Zone this weekend to chase bass? I will be up in the Hayward area chasing some big bronzebacks. Any thoughts on what the water temps will be up north next weekend? I was in the Leech Lake area last weekend and the temps were around 50 so I am hoping the water temp will creep up towards 55 with a few warm days.

Many of us will be in the Southern Zone next weekend. Water temps will depend heavily on the weather this week. I expect LCO or Grindstone to be coldest at 55-57 degrees by weeks end. Smaller lakes could be up to 63 by then.

I was thinking the water would be around 55 as well. Like Dietz said it will feel great to set the hook legally!

mwal,

I heard the Eau Claire Chain is a good bass fishery. Is it worth a trip up there at some point?

I look forward to posting pics and a report next week.

EauClaire chain has good smallmouth fishery. Very limited on largemouth due to rusty crayfish infestation that essentially wiped out all the weeds in the lakes even Lilly pads. Panfish have crashed as well due to no habitat. If you work hard you will be rewarded with some smallies. Remember that Bony and Upper EauClaire have sechi disk readings of close to 26ft . So light lines or flouro are advised. Due to the clarity these are mainly prime fishing time lake sun up and sun down or night. Very tough during daytime unless raining or very windy. If you are up to the challenge you could catch a whopper smallie. I would not consider these numbers lakes. They are trophy lakes if you are up to the challenge. If numbers are your game there are many dark water flowages in the Hayward Cable area. 42nd year on Bony Lake

I am looking to get our this weekend. Does anyone have a good LMB lake that you would recommend within close distance of the border?

To second DD all of them are good (with a few exceptions, most notably Deer Lake, it is awful). In fact in many lakes they are encouraging harvest to help bring fish populations back into balance.

Lol our club tourney is on Deer. Thats were im going sunday

I don't think pre-fishing will do you much good. It's weedy by the launch, tons of milfoil in the south-east end, and a few humps. Otherwise you are fishing docks on clear water. The structure actually seems promising: however there are probably more muskies in the lake than bass. It is almost exclusively a perch/muskie lake.

If I were you, I would be prepared to make the jump to any of the other lakes within 10 miles, just so you can catch something with that new boat.

Here are some results from a 3 hour league night there:

Code:
WEEK 4    DEER LAKE  MAY 24, 2010

13 out of 19 boats had NO fish.

11 fish were weighed in.

Total Weight Winners were Rob Newhouse and Mike Anselmo with 3 fish for a weight of 5.460

Big Bass Winners were Rob Newhouse and Mike Anselmo with a 2.600 bass.

Jeff Burch and Jason Hill had 2 fish that weighed 3.240

Jake Reigel and Derek Olson had 2 fish that weighed 2.910

Mike Andren and Jamie Booth had 1 fish that weighed 2.120

Brandon Schurtz and Jerry Dux had 2 fish that weighed 4.00

Eric Larson and Travis Ellefson had 1 fish that weighed 1.980

Anyone fished Lake Mallalieu? It looks like it's a part of the river system.

Fished it a couple years ago. If I remember correctly we got a few smallies and largies, Nothing to big though.

ya craigums. That launch on deer kinda sucks. may not be fun if its your first time on the boat. I fished there opener there last year and didnt get a single bite. I fished shallow to almost 20 feet. I found some nice gravel in like 16 feet that seemed to be just a smal patch. I thought, here we go going to stick at least one. Nothing. it is a pretty long lake so if you have had practice you could at least open the throtte and cruise up and down getting the feel for driving.

      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.
