Pathetic

Anyone else find themselves fishing vicariously through others by watching bass fishing videos on Youtube and such? I watch these videos from down south and can't help but think how nice it would be to have open water year round.

We're a month and change to bass opener and I'm watching someone plow snow out my window. Come on spring!

ya it stinks but its not like we have this and bass opener is here...to me its more than worth it in the end to see the lakes replenished...the lakes were in horrible-horrible shape last fall...

its for the best & things will turn around...no doubt it's going to be a great bassin season and well worth it!!

I do the same exact thing Juan haha. But I am kind of excited about this years bass opener. I think we will be hitting pre-spawn for once. Might actually get to see some largemouth on beds. It is pretty sad that I have resorted to going after eyes on Pool 2 though :-( It does feel good to have something tugging on your line.

You're not alone, I have been doing the same thing. It's getting boring watching other guys pull in bass. I did enjoy the extra time ice fishing this year, but now I am ready for some warm weather and open water!

This weekend I was watching the 2013 Classic on the Outdoor Channel while I was watching the live weigh-in from the Elite event on my iPad while I was flipping through the latest bass magazine.

Yeah, I'm itchin' bad.

Ice fishing isn't even over for me yet - that's the crazy part. I'm going perching on Winnie on Sunday!

Same here...shopping for tackle everyday also and have also resorted to targeting Walleyes on Pool 2. Gave up ice fishing back in March it just makes me miss the boat too much!

Hopefully the river will warm quick with the melt and rain and some bass will start staging around those backwater areas...until then looks like another walleye weekend...

I scratched the bass itch today on the lower end of Pool 4.

Fished slow, pitching jigs and wacky rigged Ring Fry.

Put a handful of fish in the boat in about 4 hours then switched to fishing for Pike at the entrances to some of the large shallow backwater lakes.

With the warmer/normal temps forecast for the weekend and next week I will be fishing Tuesday and Wednesday for sure.

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • 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.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • 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.
