I would love to go fishing, and catch, some jumbo perch. I have never caught one. I was close once. I found a lake that we caught 9.5-10.5 inchers on, but they were not jumbos. I know I can go and get them on Mille Lacs, but I live in the metro and that's a weekend trip---not too easy to pull off if your me. I have lived here for five years and fished for all of them, and I know there has to be some jumbos closer then Mille Lacs. If not, let me know.

If anyone would want to join up to fish for these jumbos, let me know. I have two portable ice houses, a power auger, heaters, many rods, vexilar, etc. Everything but an underwater camera. Drop me an email at [email protected]

or just reply to this post.

Good luck this weekend! wink.gif

I dont know of really any lakes in the metro that can produce jumbos like the big lakes to the north. Sure you may get a few, mostly I would bet they would be little 4-5" fish.

I have caught a few decent perch from Bald Eagle and White Bear but even then it was probably a 100 to 1, runt to keeper ratio.

      Problems with Yetti

      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.
