I am looking to do a trip up to Vermillion this September...usually come up in early June but have a baby due this week so not going to make it this year.

I know there is a pretty good post each year on this but I did a search and could not seem to find it on Vermillion board...

Is there another lake you would recommend that may be better for good numbers of 2-3# fish with the chance for a 5#+ fish? Not thinking Rainy due to one guy does not have a passport.

Thinking September would be a good time to come this year to try "the other end of the season."

What week in September would you recommend for great numbers of smallies? A few largemouth are always a bonus as well but mainly focused on smallies. Will probably stay on the west end (VDL) but not positive yet as trying to find a good 17'+ 120hp+ boat to rent along with a cabin.

I have always had great success the first week of October. Little harder to find them but when you do you can really spank them. With the weather this year they may well still be in there summer haunts, if we get a summer. laugh

Wondering if any other fisherman have input on this one as I appreciate the guides' info but do know they tend to fish one end or the other...so wondering what people that fish both ends or often on the west end have to say about which end is best for Smallmouth and Musky.

Just trying to decide what cabin area to stay in and where to rent boats from based on where we think we will fish the most.

Thank you!

Last year we were up there in aug caught big smalles on 5 inch swim baits and zoom horny toads over and around eel grass but the big largemouth are on the east side pay attention to water color it seemed like the cleaner the water the better the fishing got every thing looks good that's the hard part you just have to fish around

you do know that Rainy is half in the US and you don't need a passport to fish it?

east end way better for smallmouth. Sept is not nearly as good as mid-summer

      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.
