I plan to hit Whitefish Bay this weekend over the portage. Has anybody been out in that area recently? What is working the best at what depths?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Daryl, sorry that nobody got back to your question. Did you end up making it into Whitefish Bay? If so, did you get into the trout? I just haven't had the time to trout fish this fall. Sure was busy last weekend around 3 Sisters though. How was the Portage operating?

We did not make it up to Whitefish, our "leader" said it would be too windy so we went to Miles and did crappies. By the time we realized how nice the day turned out to be, it was too late to go for trout. Had to stay home this weekend for my wifes family get-together.
Looks like I missed a beautiful weekend on the big pond.
Heading back up next weekend to winterize the cabin and probably do some more crappies.

Daryl, you missed a nice weekend on the pond indeed! I was just at my place on Sunday, but what a day. I actually tried to Portage from Boot Bay in Whitefish into Obabikon Lake, but was unsuccessful. My "Solite" brand aluminum boat felt like the Titanic trying to go up and over the first hill. (the portage is 1/2 to 3/4 of a mile) Anyways, I aborted that, jumped some ducks, and went walleye fishing, which was very slow. I plan on taking the Turtle Portage next time I want to get into that part of the lake. 20+ miles driving the boat is easier than 3/4 mile portage.

I don't know what I was thinking...just thinkg about crappies and the accomplishment of the adventure, I guess. I've done it by snowmobile too, and yes it is a doozy of a ride. Hindsight tells me to go over Turtle Portage and start fishing there.

      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.
