Jefferson 12/04/04


Recommended Posts

Fished Jefferson today. Caught 25-30 Macs. All under 20". Will be heading back up tommorow A.M. Road is not passible even with chains, unless you have very high clearance. About a 2 mile hike in, if you don't have a sled or ATV. Ice is 0-8" thick. Lots of soft spots ,so be careful. Didn't fish for any Bows, but I'm sure you could get 50 or so a day, up close to the shoreline. Lucky7 (Don), showed up for about an hour& 1/2. Him an a buddy hiked it in. I was young once too! Hope to see some of you there tommorow,

Dan it was good to see you yesterday. I definitely gained inspiration to get a snowmobile soon. Needless to say I was a little tired at the end of the day. John, did you go to Lake John Yesterday?

Fished Jefferson again today. Got a few bigger Macs,but still most were under 20". Caught about 30 between 2 of us. The wind today was relentless. You know, your basic all day ,blow you away, Jefferson wind. Still had a blast though. Still need some fishermen for Glendo. Can't wait to ice some Eyes.

I think I spaced out loading up my tackle box and left it by the side of the road last Saturday up at Jefferson. I was parked above the hill right before you cross the river in a pullout that was down to bare gravel. Did you happen to see it on your way in last Sunday or on your way out Saturday?

It has my fishing license in it too so it should be easily identifiable (sp). The box is tan and pretty small just mainly stuff for ice fishing and my license. The license is in the top in a sportsman wharehouse holder. First name is Luke.

If any of you are going up there would you keep a look out for it. Or if you already found it, I need the license most.

Thanks,

Luke

Luke,

I was in the Maroon Ford super crew parked right in front of you. I didn't see your box when I pulled out Saturday or when I pulled in Sunday. Sunday there were probably 5 or 6 fishermen in front of me. Sorry for your loss. Maybe someone else will respond.

I was parked on the other side of the creek from where you guys were parked. I had my kids with and never made it to the lake. I was in a Green mini van.

I may be going up Saturday and will look then. I wanted to go to Lake John and stay the night, but none of the guys I go with could stay the night and I did not want to drive that far for only a one day trip.

Thanks for looking.

    • 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
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • 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.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • 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.
