The good news is we may be seeing an early ice out date

Good grief! Even ice out is political now. Clearly some of you need to go ice fishing before global warming ruins this season..   

 

Been doing my part for the bait shops this winter by spilling a large tub of waxies every time out.

To be fair, the article the OP shared is focused on how a collection of resort owners are lobbying state legislators to get low or interest free loans to get them through this rough period. But your point is taken and I myself plan to drown some minnows tomorrow for the first time in a while.

Well, since the owners of the resort who are spearheading efforts to get a bailout are located on Winnie, a lake known for jumbo perch, I would say a late ice out would be better. Hopefully attract a few more ice fisherman and recoup some lost revenue, so they don't need a bailout.

Ice out isn't political, using tax dollars to bail out resort and bait shop owners is.

Well it is here right now, to the point this post should be moved down to sillytown. Was the OP trying to stir the pot? I don't know. The title started in the right section. 

 

Just have to wait and see on early ice out, which I'm against. The good news is the ice put on 2-3 inches last week, I can no longer K-drill from inside my car.  This weeks forecast could add some more. Those that cater to sleds have to be doing good,, most traffic I've seen for years and mostly new machines running around. Lots of money being spent.  

 

This challenging winter (aren't they all?) has helped further diminish my want for a wheelhouse. Since I've shifted from beer drinking to catching fish this comes to mind when considering wheel or skid houses-

      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.
