Hey guys, I will be heading out to Waubay with a group of guys on Feb 17,18,19,20, and the 21st. I am the youngest of the group at only 15 and the closest in age is about 21 so i would love to show all the big guys up by catching more and bigger fish. So would anyone be willing to help with lures, presentations, are they catching anything with tipups, about how deep are you getting the fish, things like that. Plain reports would be nice also. It doesnt have to be anything special, just to give me an idea. Thanks for the help everyone.

I've had great luck on Waubay all winter. The key is to just keep moving. The fish are usually so schooled up that you can be catching them one after another and someone 15 feet away can't graph a fish. Keep moving, drill lots of holes, pay close attention to the vex, and stay away from the masses. My 1st choice of a lure would be a gold genz worm with waxies or colored euros. Stay away from the heaves.

Had good luck with a yellow and orange genz worm. A chartruese pounder is good also. both with maggots or waxies. And use a very light rod and line. I use noodle rods and 2 to 3 lb. test. most of the time you see your rod bend and not feel it. So, if it's windy and you're outside it can be tricky. Very light bite!

Good luck.

If you don't have a noodle rod make sure you have a spring bobber on your rod and stay tight to the bottom. If you have a vexilar or markum you can try to coax them off the bottom when you see them come in. Sometimes they'll grab it as you are raising it up away from them. Also if it's not too cold do a lot of hole hopping with just a bucket and one rod (and a vex.) so you can move quickly to old holes left by others. Have fun!

      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.
