I just wanted to remind everyone that the Wright County Anglers League will be holding their first meeting Saturday, March 6th at 12:30 pm at Buffalo Bar and Grill in Buffalo. All anglers are invited to attend the meeting. I will be on the side with the pool tables. There are several long tables behind the pool tables and I will be in this area. I will be wearing A red Cabela's hat with a gray bill. The meeting should last about an hour.

Hi Dan,
is this a multi-species league? If so, we will be willing to work with you in forming a Wright County LETS League.

Tom Herman, Dennis Steele, ChuckN or Dan Wood will assist you if you'd like to get a LETS League going.

Hey guys, a LETS league in Wright county sounds good. But just to let you know there are A LOT of leagues already in this neck of the pavement. These lakes get hit pretty hard. Just an example: I was in a league and one night on Buffalo Lake there were 2 other leagues on the same night and I know of one other that was on Buffalo the previous night. Just a heads up. smile.gif

Hi Rick...
Thanks for the offer, but we've decided to do this on our own. At least at first. We want to keep the costs down and the commercial aspect far removed from the enjoyment of fishing... grin.gif --Andy

I have filled Dan in with the Wright County lakes, and the dilemmas that have been reported to the DNR. It is a fact, that there are people reporting more and more complaints with the additional organized get-togethers on the lakes.

Dan,
I will try to get our league contact to you ASAP, so you are aware of the leagues we already know about, and their schedules.

Multiple leagues showing up at a lake at the same time is only going to create more problems.

Thanks for the heads-up guys,
The last thing we want to do is promote a bad image for fishing leagues. I'm willing to work around other leagues schedules if they are willing to work with us. There are 160+ lakes in Wright county so we should be able to work with each other. I think it is to our advantage to work with each other because the last thing we want more government telling us what to do.

I'm not sure what a LETS league is but it i'm kinda thinking along the same line as Andy. Im having fun dreaming this thing up and we can go many differant directions with it. I would like to get our league started first, take our baby steps, as we get some experience then we can get more involved. Im fishing in a B.A.S.S. club too this summer so I cant go too crazy or my wife may hide my boat key.

When we get our schedule figured out I'll be more than happy to pass it on to the other leagues so we can avoid conflict.

I'll tell you what may be kinda fun is if we could some day organize a Wright county championship. Get the top angler from the all the differant leagues and fish for Wright County bragging rights.
I hope those other league practice Catch and Release.

...That "Wright County Angling Championship" sounds like a cool concept too, but way beyond us, at this point...it would be nice to have some sort of Angler's Coalition/Association, for cooperational reasons...

Right on man!
Last fall my league partner and I tried to get the ball rolling for a "cooperation" of sorts. We got names from more than 10 different leagure reps over the summer, and we had a meeting with a person from the DNR Fisheries in attendance for questions.
Our thoughts were to try and get an overseeing group that several leagues would report to. People thought it was a GREAT idea, until the night of the meeting of course. Only 6 people showed up, and 4 of them were from our league. A total flop and waste of time.

One guy in our own league that came was totally against making it more organized. He wanted to keep it simple. Well, nobody was saying we want to make it difficult. All we wanted to do was to make it more organized, so people would run into less conflicts. And in the end, make it more fun for everyone. Just a matter of time, before the DNR will need to step in and make the changes for us, if the complaints continue to rise.

Who did you send the e-mails to? I was at the meeting and have not gotten one yet. Would you send me a copy please? You should have my email on the list we passed around.

Thanks.

      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.
