Fished Crow last weekend, we got into a few lakers. I think the weather had a lot to do with the bite. The crappie bite was non-existent on LOW while we were there, we got into some, but nothing like years past. We averaged about 7 lakers between the three of us for the morning bite, a couple 5 lbers were caught. Just fished Crow for the trout, no idea on the other lakes. Good luck.

Thank you. I wonder what has happened to the crappie bite? I was up in mid-January and we only managed about 40 total fish for 4 guys and about 10 hours over two days. The size of the fish are dramatically smaller as compared to the last several years. I haven't heard a good crappie report for 2006 from anyone that I know who has fished Stevens Bay or the Hay Island area.

Back in 1999 or so the crappie limit was cut from 30 to 15. The crowds didn't get any bigger and its been the past 2 years that the population has nose dived. My guess based on that small ammount of info is that something other than angling pressure is to blame.

Fishing pressure and netting both probably are a factor in the noted decline of crappie action. There is also a third factor that might be afoot.

When we were there about this time last year, we ran into another problem. The first night, we hit them pretty good. Then next day, the bite was off significantly. The third day, you could not hardly entice anything to bite. There was some big hatch going on under the ice, and that is all the fish wanted.

      Problems with Yetti

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      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

      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.
