Heading up for the muskie opener this weekend. All the gear and clothes are accounted for, just the food to get now and try to sleep at night.  Looking forward to my first visit there and my first honest effort for muskies.  Oh, I’ve caught some in the past while bass fishing but going toe to toe with an intentionally caught monster with the proper gear will be all together different.

 

Anyone else going to try their hand?  We’ll be fishing till Wednesday.  I hope to have a couple decent pics to post next week.

Good luck Wanderer!

 

I've been up to Crow a few times to fish lakers through the ice.

Always thought a summer trip up there to chase smallies, lakers, and muskie's would be fun during open water.

 

I'm looking forward to the pics.

Thanks Duffman.

 

I’m at the all packed up/can’t sleep stage now.  Tomorrow at work will be tough to keep any focus.  I’m lovin it.

 

Once we hit the border my electronic leash is going off.  Hopefully for the whole trip.  Hope to have some pics to share for sure.

Quick recap:

 

Weather was too darn “nice”!  Upper 80’s - 90’s; no wind to speak of; mostly sunny.

Water temps were anywhere from 64 - 71 depending on location and day.

 

We looked the lake over from end to end, marking up our map and returning to some places where we saw fish either later the same day or a couple days later.  We could literally see the transition from spawn to post spawn happening during our stay.  Being new to both muskie fishing and that lake, we spent time in dead water as much as good water but feel like we got a pretty good handle on how to go about setting up a more efficient return visit.  It was a lot work and long hours but I’d go back this weekend if I could so I must’ve enjoyed it.

 

A few pics as hoped for:

Sounds like you guys gave her heck up there to find them. I'd be praying thanks, too if I got that one on! ☺️

      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.
