Okay so I think we have 2 teams... Who is all interested in a chance to finally get out bass fishing May 1st?

BigMike/Dan
Daze Off / partner

How about keeping this mainly for fun. $20 per team with an optional big fish pot of $5 per team.

Winning team is titled "FishingMinnesota RiverBass'n Champion". Payout up to 3 places.

I like the Chisago area for later in the year too, maybe someone more familiar with that area can set that up?

Daze Off

If you haven't filled the seat in your boat for this and you still plan on doing it I would like to be the one to fill the seat. I see you are in Ramsey, I am in Hopkins so we should be able to hook up. If you want drop me an email and we can discuss the particulars. Thanks

biglakebass,
Pool 4 north end is in Redwing down to pool 5 south of Wabasha. Probably put in on the south end of pool 4 (near wabasha).

The smallies should be going good at that time and there is some really good LM fising in the backwaters.

It is a good chance to get out before the season. Either that or go to cheese land.

Biglakeba$$, I've seen some of the pics from early season bassin' down on pool 4 and it's awesome! Big largemouth in the backwaters and it's prime for smallies.

You should come on down and this could be the pre-"smallie magnet tourney" wink.gif.

Where is Hawgtide and Ebass... they need to get down here for early season action!

Anyone else want to get in on this friendly FM outing/tourney. Should be a really good time.

Maybe we should start a new topic in the bass forum for just this May 1st Pool 4 event. The more boats the more faces to link with people from FM (and more bragging rights!!)

There is a large tournament with 80 boats and 160 anglers going on May 1st and 2nd on Pools 4 & 5. Just thought I'd let you know.

Also, there is a 14" minimum size for both species of bass on the Mississippi River on those pools. And according to WI law, no culling also.

This isn't catch and release. The river has no closed season. We will release fish after the weigh-in of course, but you can keep fish during this time on the river. As mentioned, there is a 14" size limit on border waters.

Ross, what tourney is that? I know the Extream tourney is that following Friday. Do you know which launch that will be out of?

This sounds really good. If I may, I think there is a limit on the total payout for an organized tournament that has not applied for a permit. Also there may be a limit on the boats. I am really interested in making the trip over for this one. I live in Austin and not sure I can wait much longer to get a line in the water. Smallies are a mystery to me, but sure love one on the line. Thanx Flip

Man, this cold front not only turns off the fish but the FM posts as well... LOL

So who do we got so far:

Dan/BigMike
DazeOff/partner tbd
Flipnrip/partner tbd (Flipnrip, lookin' forward to meeting you)

If they bring in a couple partners and at least a couple more boats we could have a nice field of teams.

I'm still waiting for Hawgtide, Biglakebass, and Ebass to chime in and get their tails down here for this outing. Maybe their scared to go up against the smallie magnet LOL!!! wink.gif

Hi Guys,

Just got back from vacation and look at all them posts....I used to live in the Twin Cities and now live in #$%#!...for those of you that didn't catch that it would be Fargo.......DOH! Count me in for the FM Bass outting. I am not a big fan of the river but would be willing to give her a shot...kind of a long haul from Fargo though.
I have a boat but don't think I have a partner. Just to let ya all know. The new GF likes to fish but not sure how serious she is. Anyways I'll keep checking this post.

P.S. Go easy on me. I'm not an expert.

The tourney sounds good, count me as a maybe-pretty sure-probably.

I have never been in the area at all, so I if I can get their at least once before the tourney to find my way around, I'll be even more probably sure. smile.gif

Is there any guides for that area I can hire?

We'll have to plan another one for later in the year somewhere in the central part of the state. Dan, I'll talk to you about it this weekend.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      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

      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.
