I'll be up in my cabin on the west end of Lake Vermilion. I've bought a lot of muskie lures during the winter, and I'm excited to see if I can have a chance at a true giant using these things. Still ticked about the terrible temps though.

Got out for a little bit yesterday. Raised an absolute hawg (50+), went into the figure 8 and followed it around for roughly a minute. Other than that we had an upper 40s come unbuttoned at the boat, half a dozen follows, and put one 34" in the boat.

Well in WI I only got out this evening for about 3 hours. Got one dink that was all of 24". Had one follow that was around 40", and saw 2 other muskies that were about the size of the one I caught. That 2012 stocking class appears to have been a really good one for WI (I know they produced quite a few more fish than they needed that year).

All of the fish were utilizing my most hated weed to fish (curly-leaf), next to sharp drops. I was expecting them to be on the inside edge picking off bass on panfish on beds: didn't seem to be the case. I did get some bass to run into my lures throwing over their beds though.

What a great weekend! I got one follow on Saturday, and another on Sunday. Since I'm beginning to learn how to muskie fish, I forgot to do a figure eight on Saturday when it was approaching the dock (I'm still kicking myself). Like another poster here, I am now officially hooked on muskies after witnessing 2 leviathans chase after my bucktail and spinnerbait. I just have to keep trying. Saturday's weather wasn't as bad as my first post dictated, so it was an awesome opener!

I went out Saturday at sunrise for a few hours throwing a jerk bait. I had a small one (38-40?) come from under the boat and hit a lazy figure 8. Than my back was hurting so bad I had to stop. I went out in the evening and did some trolling (easy on the back), I had a 46 1/2 just crush my crank bait. Nice start to the season.

      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.
