So... Got a reservation in Bayfield this coming weekend and was wondering if there would be any possibilities of getting out on the big lake near Port Wing or Cornucopia? I know the Bayfield area is a bust... Maybe in Michigan? up to Ontanogan?

Still dragging my boat over... figure we can do some work on it, the poles, and tackle if nothing else... A good weekend to get away and have a cocktail or two..

I'm sure I'll have my river stuff with also... maybe venture over to the Brule...

We told the wives it a men's crafting weekend if no fishing is done... wink

the landing in bark bay is the only landing that might be open. from the noaa satellite images it sure looks like it is free of ice. wish i could say for sure, but im down in hayward and also want to drag some cranks. maybe someone will get over that way and let a guy know. so sick of jiggin through 8 inch hole.

We'll the boat is making the voyage... I figure even if it doesn't hit the water I can do some work on it so it all up to snuff for later...

..So far I've added a new graph/gps unit (install that this weekend); 2 new tires for trailer; new prop (since I hit a dead head on the Rainy last fall); and now need new bow light (noticed it got crunched in storage... and then we'll start with the poles..tackle...etc...

So we'll have plenty to do... and then maybe a cocktail and some Prime Rib to keep our spirits up... grin

Back from our trip to Bayfield... The boat never saw any open water, but we did get a lot accomplished.

We checked both Port Wing and Cornucopia... Not a chance... Both bays and Harbors were full of chunk ice and bigger sheets not far away... I don't see boat fishing in this area for at least a week if not two, and that depends on the weather (if it'll ever warm up) and the winds..

As far as Bayfield area... that still locked up tight and looks like that might not happen till the end of the month or beginning of May..

If you looking to fish, call Rock Inn and Bait out of Ashland, they'll get you on the fish... we stopped in and they gave us the low down.. Just make sure to bring your ice fishing gear.. we didn't... but were told they had up to 2' of ice out in the bay in some area..

Now you could bring your waders and steelhead gear... all of the rivers are doing fine and taking fish...

Back to the boats... not going to happen... I brought mine with and really didn't expect to launch it... Our crew got it ready for the open water though... new graph wired in... put new line on all the poles and worked on some tackle... plus a few cocktails and some really good meals...

I have to say hats off to Mike at the Seagull Bay Motel... top notch place for minimal expense...

      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.

      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.
