Take some of your own advice and stop and think about it yourself....So if you could use two lines but agree to not keep any fish that's not 'ultra-conservative'? Not keeping any fish is nearly as conservative as quitting the sport all together. Even if it's the half limit- you're not keeping any more fish with a 2nd line.

What you posted makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. You tell me to think about it and then more or less make the same point I was making. crazy

Why would you pay a king's ransom when you're effecting the resource the least? The trade-off is right there: you get to double your lines but only get to take half the normal limit.

There is no reason to pay extra for that.

Good grief.

Limitout, what is so hard to understand about wanting to use a second line to catch more fish? Whether I'm keeping fish or not I prefer to catch fish in larger numbers. A second line helps me to do this.

There's no option to do such a thing now and no option in sight. Money seems to be a motivator so PERHAPS they'd think about it if they were going to make some money- that's why I'd pay a 'king's ransom'. Put it this way, I would be willing to pay less than or equal to what a ticket is for extra line. I'm not keeping any fish, and especially when I'm by myself- I want to have two bait options out there until I know what they prefer that day. I would pay that to do it legally during daylight.

Like I said- nobody has to buy it whether they don't like the idea or the price.

My comment regarding buying a second full price license was based on the first license being a standard full limit license.

I agree that if there was a conservative type license that has very low bag limits but allowed a second line it shouldn't cost more.

Sorry to throw this whole thread off track with the bonus line talk. But with the MNDNR starting to offer a handful of options, I would love to see a bonus line option.

I've always said i would purchase a second license at full price to use another line.

That makes the most sense.

The state of Minnesota would love to increase fishing participation by having people new to the sport buy a license and allow them to keep a legal possession of fish.

With the idea DTRO proposes the state would get their money for the "extra angler" but the fishery would not feel the pressure of another person taking another possession limit.

Let people buy two licenses, but keep the possession limits the same for the person no mater how many lines they purchased.

Keep it simple:

2 consevation licences 1 conservation possession limit,

2 regular licences 1 regular limit.

A conservation licence and a regular licence... not allowed

Don't be so sure that "catch and release only" affects the resouce the least.

Possession limits limit the number of fish havest anglers take.. (ie they get their limit of fish and go home) possession limits do not limit the catch and release only crowd.

As a mater of fact there is no limit in Minnesota on catch and release only.

Catch and release 500+ fish in one day (killing a certain percent in the process) no problem...

I am also unaware of anyway to regulate catch and release only, other than to close seasons.

If you know of another way to regulate a catch and release only fishery, please let me know.

Thanks

Merk

I'm all for it. Always have been.

However, paying extra for this option makes no sense.

On the other hand (your approach)- waiting around year after year wishing for it for free has been working so well. ;-/ The DNR isn't going to give a F it they aren't going to make $ on it.

So let's make it $500 for another line. Heck, let's stop beating around the bush and charge $1000/yr. How's that?

It makes sense as a compromise to get it done.

.

Why does there have to be a compromise? How about just plain ol' common sense?

People need to quit thinking they have you over a barrel on everything. Maybe, just maybe, some wrongs finally need to be made right.

Limit-

You are the master at spinning chit into worthlessness just to argue . Congrats, my hat's off to you, you are the winner. You and I both know that 500-1000$ is nuts/out of the question/idiotic, and not even in this conversation until you spewed out more manure here. Like I said- equal too or less than the fine for an extra line would be a good starting point, the price of another license makes ever more sense. Obviously if it was more than that then there's no point to buy it you'd just 'gamble' like many do now and hope you don't get caught and just pay the fine. I'm sure you thought about that obvious fact before posting your 500-1000$ worthless post.

I totally agree- free would be great, fair, common sense, 'right' whatever in my mind but it's not happening in anyone's lifetime and we only have one of those.

Nothing worthless about it. People appear to be willing to unnecessarily shell out money for this so what is the breaking point? I think that paying the equivalent of a second license is "nuts/out of the question/idiotic".

      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.
