I 've been a longtime subscriber of Outdoor News, but, of late I am not happy what with the almost complete lack of BASS articles.....They have Northern and Walleye, sunfish and crappies, carp and perch, catfish and smelt, dogfish and sheepshead , deer and bear , moose and deer, cormorant and song birds, crows and crawfish , rabbits and squirrels , wolves and coyotes, BUT, no BASS.....Its one thing if the staff of Outdoor News don't like bass, but, how about the subscribers that are interested in all things bass, articles , photos, lures etc......Come on!...I sent an email to them complaining , but, no response or editorial space.......Bull Droppings!

Maybe RK will respond (maybe not) but I would send another email to both editor and Rob Kim (RK)contributing writer, besides a great muskie fisherman I think he's admitingly stated he prefers bass over muskie IF he had too and I think he's one of my favorite contributing writers for freshwater fishing period. I too chase muskies and bass and but with kids and the wealth of bass lakes in my area I always resort to bass so a suggestive push to RK and staff at ON i think wouldn't be a bad idea.....again.

I dropped it because its the same thing over and over and over.....

How many articles can I read about "Go deep in the heat for panfish", or "Get the heavy artillery for thick cover bass", or "Scout now for deer and increase your chances",,,, etc etc.....

its all been covered a hundred times in that publication and the oodles of other magazines.

Bass has been beaten to death IMO. Lots of calls for "something different" right now. Contributing writers and editors are pushing "kick the can" type of articles right now. Something to get the readers excited, get their attention.

I personally don't read the "how to's" or "bass in cover" stories. But what I do like are the articles on current events, outdoor issues, all the pictures, and cuffs and collars. Lots of good stuff in outdoor news, but like anything you sift through to your likes.

Hiya -

Flattered that someone actually wants me to write something...I'd think you guys would be sick of me.

I do have a couple bass things in the works, but have to get some photos shot first. Heading up this weekend to hopefully do that. Not about slop though, which is too bad because I have some great photos.

To the larger discussion though...in Rob D's defense, the ODN by nature has to try to be all things to all people. If you don't trap, you don't care about trapping articles, or deer articles, or whatever. This thread is a vivid example. some guys want more, others think what they're asking for has already been done to death.

Plus, he's somewhat at the mercy of freelance writers - he has X number of pages to fill each issue, and beyond the regular columns and assigned pieces, he kind of gets what he gets. He has a wide range of interests to serve, things have to be timely, can't be totally redundant, have to have supporting artwork... It's quite a jigsaw puzzle. Plus, he has to do it every week. The guy gets worked like a rented mule 52 weeks a year. Quite honestly, I don't know how he does it. I don't think they could pay me enough to make me try.

Cheers,

RK

      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.
