Where are some good ponds to fish for carp in? I figure these waters would be better since they'll warm quicker. I want a vacation from the rivers for a while. Any ideas? Also, will creeks be good yet(minnehaha creek for ex.)

Lunker... I know of a few in the Eagan/IGH/SSP area.. one of which I pull 10 lbers as an average size... (the other being filled with a lot of smaller 4lbers... but they are still fun) I've caught a few out of Simley in IGH allready this year.. and they should be going nuts with this warm up. I might try the other one I know of tommorow. The river has been producing jack squat recently...

I used to fish a small lake up in Arden Hills called Lake Valentine. Had an uncle that lived near it and I'd catch carp while my parents visited. Haven't fished it in years but I pulled quite a few carp out of there in the past.

yeah, that is what I was talking about, I was there a couple days ago trying to get the boat running and they were really nailing them. I might have to go and try it if the catfishing slows down.

Maplewood? Hmmn.. I thought Battle Creek was in woodbury... Maybe it's in both? I heard that lake had a lot of Northerns in it.. but it's shallow and weedy so I suppose their'd be carp in it too....

I nailed the carp on Seidl's pond last night; They put a new path leading to a culvert that they put in, and they were all over the mouth of that culvert. It was not 5 minutes before WHAM. A big carp slams the rod down and heads right into some brush before I could talk him out of it, snapping my leader clean. I ended up getting 8 carp in the hour and a half I fished; 3 of them being over 7 lbs and losing several that were much bigger. I need to go back there when I have a little more time than an hour and a half and see if I can't get even more...

Crawlerman, you are thinking about Battle Creek lake in Woodbury, and yes it does have a lot of northerns but most are small. Im talking about the Battle Creek park in Maplewood. Its on upper afton road. The ponds I am talking about are fed by the battle creek lake, there is a stream that starts at Battle Creek lake and feeds into these ponds im talking about.

Went back to Sedli's Sat and got an 11 lber right off the bat, followed by about a dozen smaller ones.

Muskie- Seidl's pond is in South Saint Paul on the corner of 4th ave and 14th street. Take 494 to the 5th/7th street exit, which I beleive will dump you on 7th. take a left, and head on 7th street North. The first and only stop sign on 7th before you hit southview is 4th. Take a left. Keep going on 4th over a small hill and past a couple of stop signs. There will be an open area with a single picnic table and streetlight with a sign reading "Seidls lake park". The lake is down the path, you can't see it from the road. I've been doing best over the culvert they just installed there, but there is also a barrier wall on the opposing side you can fish as well.

      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.
