I want to get out this weekend and I was wondering if the ice was off Thompson or Sinai? I'm really getting the bug to go out.

Rost are you aroung this weekend? Want to meet up anywhere? I also thought about going to Flandraeu Sunday early A.M.

Let me know. Send me a email.

Thompson is good to go. And I have been heering mixed reports of big fish, but not real greatd numbers. THere has not been that many people out yet. This weekend should bring the people out.

I can't speak for Sinai. As of last Tuesday it was just starting to open up in the main basin. I will check it on my way into Brookings today and report back as soon as I can.

Was out at Thompson last Sunday, no docks yet. Put in with my waders. Fished 12' to 14' of water by the old boat ramp drifting from the point north towards the state park. Managed to pick up 3 nice male walleyes using spinners. Bottom is very green, you need to be off bottom or you will get a ton of moss. Buddies fished grade and same thing, couldn't pull bottom as to much moss. They got skunked. Good luck.

I did make it out fishing for an hour. The bite on Sinai has been pretty slow for the most part. I was out Sunday night and had quite a few bites but just couldn't hook anything. Stinger hooks were in order, it was just too bad they were sitting on my work bench.

The honey do list is dwindling down and the water temps. are on the rise, so you can bet I will be on the water quite often in the next couple weeks.

The SW bay is normally excellent in the spring. There has been people fishing from Rinharts old driveway every night. I'm not sure how they are doing but there was about a dozen people out there the other night.

Hey Rost.

Heard of anything? I have lost your email address. I cleaned out all my messages and must have dropped your address. I have to build a sandbox around a swing set this Sunday, but if I can get done early I think T.H. might be going out to SD jumping around and fishing from shore on a few lakes. Couldn't be any worse than what we did. I hope I can go.......

      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.
