As for the where ya at... Finishing up a project that went from bad to really bad at work. Then home to work in the shop. Should have several decoys done tonight and a couple that will be finished up tomorrow. Look for them on the 2014 decoys thread in the next couple days.

Now I am thinking of covering the house I got from Canotrapper with Aluminum flashing it will be so bright it will be visible from space.Have to figure out better runners for it. Also gonna help the in-law finish and redo stuff on the 4x6 he built in 3 days in January. Luckily he has a carport to stash them under to protect them. I bet your are glad MJ1657 to not have to get the tractor out and deal with snow etc.

Yesterday all I could do was think about open water so that's what I did. Myself and Archerysniper put my boat in Pool 4 and caught a bunch of sauger and a few walleyes. I was happy to be in the boat, but miss peering down the spear hole.

mwal check out the flashing that is steel/tin that is dimpled like a golf ball it is colored and really doesn't weight that much more than aluminum. just my 2c

I bet that metal would work good.

Mwal, I bellyache about it but its all worth it. Do a search and find Spearheads house like yours. I believe his is covered in some type of metal.

Going out spearing with my dad on the last day of season here in MI. Went out today and seen 8 pike just didn't see the big one I was looking for, did get to spear my first sucker though the ice, it was 12-13' down and moving, ended up being 22" long!! full-40781-43376-image.jpg

The steel/tin material is easier to work with than aluminum. The house that I built that merkman has that on it with colored aluminum flashing on the roof. You can find it at the big box lumber stores or any place that sells siding materials

Jason those suckers are great smoked and that one alive would be awesome flathead bait. grin ,but it would take a half pound of lead to hold in the strike zone!

My wife and I are wrapping up a vacation on Maui. As a boy we lived in Kailua Oahu for a couple years and I did a lot of spearfishing.

On this trip I really missed having my speargun in hand as we saw some very nice fish for eating that would have ended up on the end of my spear. I have the itch now to get some new bands, maybe a new gun, and hit some of my MN spearing lakes to scout weed lines/structure and shoot carp for the garden to keep my free diving skills up.

Is anyone else doing any local MN diving/spearing? Stick500 are you still out there?

I used to hit Harriet after we moved back to MN from HI and took some nice sized carp. The viewing of large gamefish and lure retrieval was pretty good too.

    • 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.
