I was out on Maple this past Sat 7/21 and noticed a bass tournament out there. Anyone know how they did? At one time or another, I saw a boat on pretty much every bass spot that I know (there aren't any secrets anymore).

I was prefishing for my multi-species league which is tonight. I have plenty of bass spots so my goal was to find a northern pattern. I feel comfortable that we should limit out on Northerns in 1/2 hour or so, leaving the rest of the night for bass fishing. In the two hours we were out there, we landed over 20 pike. If you want to introduce a kid to fishing, take them to Maple, tie on a Walleye Diver in orange, let 120' of 10 lb. line out, try to stay in 15' of water and hold on tight. It didn't matter where we went (on the South, larger portion of the lake). Biggest was only 25" but it was a blast. We couldn't make it much further than 200 yards without a 20"er hammering us. Fun change of pace.

FYI - If anyone wants Northers for pickling, meet me at the access tonight at 9pm and I will have two limits for you. I'm in the 16' lund with a 25 hp merc.

No problem. I would never spill my guts about fishing patterns/spots for walleyes, rarely for bass, but I really don't care about northerns. That lake needs to thin down the herd!!

Do they still recommend keeping the northerns from that lake? we had a bass tourney out there last year and I remember seeing signs on people docks from the lake association asking people to keep the small northerns

Yes, they still want you to keep the small northerns. I had one guy yell at me from the end of his dock "Make sure you kill that thing!!" I let it go. They weren't biting very well last night as we only caught about a dozen. It seems like after three days of hot stable weather (last Sat.) we were catching them at a rate of 15+ per hour, ranging from 19" - 25". After the storms rolled through (last night), we were catching about half as many that were only 16" - 18". That lake gets hit pretty hard -there was at least two leagues on it last night and a tournament on it the weekend before. Still fun to be out.

The Tournament wss the Chris Schneider Memorial Tournament. It raises scholarship money for the Maple Lake High School. Chris was a alum who pasted a few years back in an auto accident and his folks put it on every

year. Took roughly 20 for 1st. 17 for 2nd and 15 for third. 6 fish Limit.

Great tournaments and great folks.

      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.
