I havn't been to an elite level tournament since they were on Minnetonka in the 90's. Kinda dating myself I guess wink

Without going on the water, Is there much to do while the pros are fishing or is it better to just wait til weigh-in time?

There is a few things you can do before the weigh in such as take a ride in a Nitro or Skeeter. There are a few other booths you can visit and look at the newest products out. The real show is the weigh in.

Last year was a great time, i'm looking forward to this weekend.

Heading down there on Saturday, my boy follows the pro series and knows all the guys names so figured it would be a good time for him. Can a guy watch them come off the water? Would be interesting to see the boats and tow rigs. Any vendors there also?

CASTnBLAST,

Yes, you can stand right next to the landing and see all of the boats. You can also listen to the anglers talk to the media (before and after) and some anglers will even take pictures with the kids. After the weigh in the anglers will walk out of the back of the stage, most will stop and take pictures and sign autographs. Your son will love it!

Last year there wasn't a lot of vendors but you can talk him for a ride in a Nitro Z9. smile Ask for Jay.

I agree with a number of pros who have said that they shouldn't even be fishing a state that has a no cull rule. If you looked at the area he was fishing the state boundary snakes all over the place and even with gps you could be off a few feet and be eligible to be disqualified. You can actually have a five fish limit, caught in Wisconsin and Minnesota, cross back to Wisconsin ,release the fish and go back to Minnesota and fish. How ridiculous is that? Many of the pros are staying out of Minnesota waters for that very reason.

I am afraid that was the last elite series event on the area for many years.

Perhaps if Minnesota changes their rule, they would come back.

After last years disappointment with the WIDNR and the sturgeon bay closer, this seems like another slap in the face of trip Weldon

      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.

      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.
