Still 16 inches of ice, Waubay but ice is starting to deteriorate from the windy weather. Fishermen are advised to walk out only. Driving is not recommended. Still a fair perch bite on Waubay, most in the 9 1/2 to 10 1/2 inch range. A good pike bite on Cottonwood Lake by Lily.

Call The Grenville Sportmart 1-605-486-4641 for a report on Waubay.

Don't need a permit for ATV or a fish house. Weather is not looking good for Friday night into Saturday morning. Freezing rain and snow in the forecast. In sioux Falls today we had freezing drizzle.

BE, is right! The bigger fish are in the middle portion of the lake. I was there last weekend and will be there again this weekend. Most of the perch we got were in the 11-12 inch range, and the walleye were numerous. The refuge has also been good, but remember to check out the special regs before wandering around in there. Look for the 22-26 foot range for a good mixed bag of walleye & perch. See ya on the ice!ScottS

I fished Waubay this weekend and not many of you guys can say that. I didn't see another person on the lake. It was really cold/windy Saturday but the fishing was good. Flyingfish and I sorted through some nice jumbos and easy caught our limit of nice ones. We also tried two other lakes and managed to pick up a bunch of crappies. As for the walleye, we got one small one but that was it, they didn't want to cooperate with us.

As for the ice, the ice is still real good. We did not drive on and probably could not have due to the huge drifts on the lake.ScottS

I've heard from a reliable source that the action on Waubay the last week has been FANTASTIC! Not sure where he was fishing, but in 3 evenings he landed 6 8+lb walleye and a 20# northern. Said there were lots smaller than that, but those were the trophies...

Wishin I was Fishin

      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.

      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.
