Any carp shooters out there? West Metro


Recommended Posts

Hillbilly would love to shoot sometime. I have boat as well and some spots near Howard Lake if you ever want to try someplace new. I have land that way so we could do a dump of fish if needed. My folks live in Hutch so we will have to keep in touch.

I was out today and found the carp in shallow mucky bay. I missed every single one. I probably shot a couple dozen times. They were really skittish. Water wasn't the cleanest and sun was not shining all the time. Fun time though.

I have a ranger cherokee, great fishing boat, probably not the best carp shooting boat as blood and guts will get everywhere.

I do have an old 14 foot aluminum that I need to register and put a deck on. I might just rig this thing up with lights. Maybe get a 5 horse and trolling motor. This could get expensive LOL

Jaako93, let's hit the water one of these days. We could wait for the carp spawn and hit one of the local lakes. Let me know what days you are open. This weekend won't work for me.

Sorry jaako93 I don't give my spots away.. there's already a few cyber scouters on here that are from around my home town.... only time they talk to me is to find where the birds and fish are.. when I do get my boat setup I'll let you know. I do have another boat that is setup that I'm selling

I was all set to go fishing/bowfishing opener and as I left the driveway noticed low tire warning on. Pulled back in driveway, unhooked boat and discovered nail in tire. So much for that.

In a week or two any lake you go to will have carp all over the shallows spawning. The hard part is getting out there crazy

If there are any carp shooters out in the west metro and you can get on Tonka find an inlet from a nearby wetland. The one near Crescent Beach is flowing strong with schools and schools of carp out in front/side of it. Probably can't be shooting carp there since it is next to a beach, but find some place like it.

    • 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.
