Haven't seen much action in this thread for a while so I thought I'd see what everyones plans were come June 2nd.

I plan on fishing the ALS walleye tournament that weekend so I'll be up on Island Lake Res. for the opener. I saw 12 musky in the shallows bass fishing this weekend up on Vermillion so I plan to get up there this season as well. Not sure what presentation I'll start the season off with, most likely just a size 10 black cowgirl (my go to) in the shallows...

water temps have been around 65 on the metro lakes, shaping up very similar to two years ago which was a great opener, handful of fish in the boat on 3 different types of baits, so i'll be full speed ahead as soon as i get on the water.

With the weed growth and water temps its looking good. I'll be throwing bucktails and glide baits.

Also, it's official, Sugar lake has an estimated 222 adult muskies. That's fewer muskies than fishermen that hit the lake per week. Hopefully the muskies in the horseshoe chain grow up quick!

I would assume some with the heavy pressure of today and etc. there'd eventually be lower numbers in some lakes for sure. I know on Shamineau for instance a lake shore owner who says he buries many muskies each season, many I said is that why a guy hardly see's a fish in there for long stretches of time. So my opener plan is and has been in recent years anywhere but Shamineau. Likely Battle Lake so if the muskies aren't happening the walleyes are so that's a great 2nd option for the day.

Still waiting on the stocking of Tetonka......but I am gonna give it a go this opener and see what goes because there are a few in there. It can not be any worse then trying for one of the two fish that live in French. smile

Most lakes fall between .2 and .4 muskies per acre, so Sugar is at the low end of normal. If you hit even 0.5 fish per acre, you are talking a pretty good numbers lake. AFAIK though there isn't a single lake in Minnesota that has half a fish per acre.

4:30am for me. I will be tossing some of the new gear, but hoping to stick the 55 incher I saw last year. I only see her the first week of the season for the last 3 years and then she disappears to open water.

      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.
