Anyone found them on beds yet? Probably a bit early but with this hot weather if not yet shouldn't be too much longer, eh? I like to get out at least once a year with the fly rod and fry a couple up, nothing better eating if ya ask me wink.gif

Spent the day on Sat panfishing and found crappies on the beds and some dandy pumpkinseeds and bluegills just moving up to the grounds. Biggest pumpkinseed we got was 9 1/2" and biggest gill was 9 1/4" I'll try to get some pics up. No matter how old you are its still fun to watch that cork disappear as soon has it hits the water. cool.gif

The gills are shallow on beds on Wissota. Its not know for them but if you're in the area the gill fishing has really improved there the past several years.

Brought the 3 kids back to the lake yesterday for some panfish action. The crappies were absent from there shallow bay from where they were a week ago. The bluegill beds were all but empty. Did manage to get them into some action but the spawn on this lake is pretty much over. Very warm water.

4labonte - no prob, whats the email address? Or, its quite simple, hit the shallow areas with weeds and/or wood cover. Lots of areas in the Little Lake have good weed growth - the bay by the old Riders/Wissota Marina. Those bays up Paint creek from there. Stillson creek area. On the big lake, the Yellow river/state park area plus Pine Harbor. Bobbers and leeches/worms/waxies work as does the old fly rod and foam spider. In a nutshell - find weeds=bluegills.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      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.

      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.
