Smallies on Chequamegon?


Recommended Posts

Would really like to go to ashland tomorrow and try for smallies. How has the fishing been? Where is the best spot and what baits should I bring?

Thanks in advance

Still some fish in the sand cut and kakagon area. Plastics are what I would use or jerkbaits. If you want, sucker minnows will work if you want to live bait rig. Shouldnt be to hard to find the fish. grin.gif

I was there on Wednesday.. Sorry JKH, forgott the cell phone at home(maybe a blessing in disguise)... That bay kicked my butt! Winds were horrible in the morning. Afternoon it died. I saw places that looked awesome, but not a fish to be seen!

I eneded up catching 2 fish... thats it..

I did get discouraged enough to pull the boat out and head to a different lake. Was a great move... stumbled on an awesome lake.. Just a beautifull lake!!! one of the prettiest I have ever been on. And caught about 40 fish smallies and largies!

That's alright Dietz,I was out musky fishing that day. Glad you could make it up this way though and experiene what the bay is all about. smirk.gif Tuesday was an even better day out there on the big lake. grin.gif

I was down around that way yesterday, after the trout/salmon wouldnt cooperate too well. Still a lot of fish hanging around in the cut.

Pretty slow start Outdoor... Have boated a couple fish, with a low 40 incher being my biggest so far. Been seeing fish everytime out, but they still seem a bit lazy.

Last Thursday, a friend and I were up one the St. Louis with Northlander. We fished 'eyes for awhile, then he took us around where we threw for some 'skis. My buddy had one follow. Steve told me you do a little bit of musky fishing up that way? If and when you ever want to go fish the river I would love to go along to chase some fish. And if you ever want to fish some lakes I know, let me know and we can go do some musky hunting.

Let me know, [email protected]

Well... It is those post spawn blues for the most part out here on the big lake right now. A lot of fish moving to their summer haunts but there are still a few fish holding in the shallows. With the recent hot weather, the bite was off, really off on these bronzies. I got out the other day with a good friend where we did manage to put a few nice bass in the boat a long with some pike. Other then that, a week or so and the fish should be on the feed.

Mike with a nice fish

    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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.
