Do our (metro) lakes have crayfish? I don't recall seeing any evidence of crayfish in any local lakes. I sure see lots of mussels! Too bad there's no mussel shaped plastics.. (joke)

Yep. We have crayfish. I don't know if every lake has a significant number of crayfish, but there's very few times where I can think of live welling fish in a metro tournament that did not spit up crayfish.

I just read the 'officially' a tube is supposed to imitate a crayfish. Didn't know that.

I agree to a point. It all depends on how you are fishing the tube, and the color selection. In some cases, I would use one to immitate a baitfish as well.

well like it has been said bass are opportunistic feeders. So if they have eaten 1 crayfish in their life they will probably eat another if it was dangled in front of their face. i think this is why so many guys like the j n p and tubes they get it done. ike

OCF, I got your handle wrong on the first post, so I gave Deitz a chance to take a shot at me grin.gif Trust me it had nothing to do with your post just mine... Yes you have craws in Ida, I had a home on Ida for about 8 years and this past weekend fished a tournament there, after the tournament I had enough craw pieces in my livewell that I needed to use a shop vac to clean the mess up. smile.gif Great job on the first walleye, hopefully it will be the first of many. This fall (Oct) frogs at night on the south shore of Little Ida bay, you will get some huge bullheads, but about every 4th or 5th fish will be a nice walleye.

Huge bullheads? Sounds like bait to me grin.gif

      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.
