Ice fishing on Grand Lake

Got out on Grand Lake for a few hours today and didn't do so hot. I got a couple perch and Jim caught a nice sunny and a crappie. I haven't been out yet this year! I usually like to fish in my own house but since we were only going to be out for a bit (and Jim promised to put the heat on in the Otter) we fished together in Jim's house. Great first trip out and back in time for the game. SKOL Vikings! Got to see some other HSOers-Gary(ripstick), Randy(loonasea) and Mark with his daughter Rachel. Hopefully everyone's been able to get out and enjoy a fun relaxing day on the lake.

Good to hear you finally got out ice fishing. I have been down with the flu for 2 weeks, and December was pretty much shot with my husbands health problems. I am planning on heading to Red on Thursday. Jim caught the crud from me, so he will be staying home. The Yellow Submarine will be making it's 2013 maiden voyage. laugh

I'm home today with the crud too. Lots of coughing, fever and sinus congestion. Glad you're finally coming out of it-hopefully Jim won't have it too long and you'll be back in action.

Good luck on Red! I've been reading the reports-people are catching like crazy up there!

Great to see all of you out there Lisa. Rach got a case of the crankies and I pulled the pin a little early. We caught some gills, but all were small. That lake is becoming a zoo. Lot's of people, noise. I think it may be affecting the bite. Glad to hear you are feeling better. Lot's of sick people around. Enjoy the weekend. BC

Never made it to Red, evidently I passed a kidney stone late Tuesday afternoon. Scared the bejeezers out of me. Wow, what pain, had to call the doctors and got an appointment on Friday. He is giving me the okay to go, but I am a little leery with the bitter cold coming up. My doctor said this is the worst year he has seen in a long time for flu and upper respiratory infections in a long time.

Kidney stones!? What in the world?! Not fun and definitely painful.

It always seems something breaks or breaks down when it's super cold when you're on the ice. Although I think I'd take the cold over wind any day of the week. I'm going to try to get out this weekend. I know my buddy Tristin is going out locally. That might be an option. Hopefully by the weekend you'll get up to Red, Barb. Get that Yetti rolling!

I didn't go in so I'm not sure what I had. I just figured that if it's the flu, I better just stay home as to not spread it to anyone else. Several of my coworkers were out with influenza though. Sure is ishy stuff!

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      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.

      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.
