Fishing Report 3/05/06


Recommended Posts

But thats a nice bass Bob!

I fished the final winter Ultimate Panfish League event with Corey Bechtold as my teammate and we pounded the dump out of the largemouth bass. Have I ever said that I don't like largemouth bass. grin.gif Them critters and the pike stole half of my Custom Jigs & Spins Ratsos! Its getting to be that time of year in Minnesota, shallow water panfish bite with bass & pike mixed in for fun. grin.gif

Jim, I was going to go but Katie had to see a surgeon on Monday and I thought it would be best to say at home. Everything is ok so I am thinking of next weekend. Is there still good ice and snow cover? Chris, I talked with MJ and he was saying that the bass wouldn't keep off your baits. Hard to catch gills when the bass are attacking. grin.gif

It was insane! After catching a number of them, I think I figured out it was the same darn fish over and over again. I got to thinking I need to catch him 1 more time and then throw him in the Ice Well so he can stay off my line. And then let him go when we were done. I'm not sure if the wardon would believe that one though. blush.gif

Give a call later in the week.. As the conditions can change rapidly on this big lake. For now, the ice over near Ashland and over to Washburn is still in great shape. Not much snow left...

Yes, those bass certainly were going crazy! I think BDR and I landed about 10-15 bass within a 45 minute span! Not to mention the other 10-15 that were caught throughout the day as well smile.gif Everyone around us were hooking into bass left and right trying to jig up pannies for the UPL event.

What surprised me was that no one really hooked into any pike. Usually I'll get broke off in that area a couple times a day during this time of year. But not a single pike was caught, nor mentioned. Everything of any size came through as bass...

Corey & I got some pike, although not very big ones. They may have been 14-16" or so. When Corey was sight fishing, I'd hear him yell "No, no, no!" and pull his lure up really quick. grin.gif

    • 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.
