Cat/River Rat Meet


rushing

Recommended Posts

As far as a "Cat/River Rat Meet" how about 7/16 in Mankato at West Sibley park?

Meet some of your fellow FM catfishermen!

For those who havent been there...there is camping spots right next to the river and plenty of shore fishing spots good boat landing.

Anyone interested?

Hey Rob!

I am in!

Unfortunaely I missed last years due to either guiding or a tourney. I will definately make it this year!

They are always a good time and fun to talk cats with some of the best guys running the river!

Right on Dennis! It’s been awhile since I have talked to you. It will be good to get you down on our stretch of river again.

I think Dragon is gonna be coming up too.

How about 7/23 instead of 7/16?

It's great to see you're still fishing the Minnesota River dude!!

Hey rick! I have to work all that weekend(7/23) plus I think thats the weekend of the Franklin Catfish Derby Days, but I'm not sure. If that weekend works better for everyone thats cool too I just wont be able to go. I just thought I would throw out the idea for a cat gathering on the MN river since no one else has talked about one yet.

I would sure like to make this gathering also. The Catfish gatherings are some of the most fun!!

Unfortunately, 7/16 doesn't work well for me either. 7/23 would be perfect or what about some time in August maybe?

Rusty's Gathering in Crookston is on the 30th of July & the Portable Ice House Modification Gathering is on the 6th of August.

Maybe we can get another gathering going in the late part of august or very early september on a different stretch of river? If someone would like to take it upon themselves to set something up that would be awesome. Summer is slippin by....like I said before there hadnt been any talk of a gathering on the MN yet and I didnt want to see a summer go by without one.

tight lines

Looks like I won't be able to make the 16th after all. I forgot about a prior comitment I have.

I'll work on getting something together for Summer of 2005's 2nd Minnesota Flathead get together.

Any one want to suggest some dates for #2?

I can't make the 16th. For cat gathering #2 I have commitments for the August 6th, but I think the rest of August is open for me.

August usually holds the kato and BP tournies as well, so not sure if we would try and schedule around those dates or just try to find a different stretch of river.

    • 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.
