Not my favorite lake, but I like White Bear. My favorite is a little lake nort of the cities, no public access. I am sure a few of your guys know about it. Deitz I would assume knows, its in his neck of the woods.

I have a bunch of lakes that are my favorites. It all depends on the time of the year and weather conditions. My favorite Metro lake for purely sentimental reasons is White Bear Lake. It's where I really learned about bass fishing as a youth.

Seriously, I like Mink lake. Not afraid to give it up as it most likely is too weedy to fish right now and is C&R anyway. My favorate SPOT, however, is not on a lake wink.gif. Check out my how to/not to paddle rapids post on the canoeing forum to see it. Not going to give it away, but others on here know about it.

Well it's probably one of the best lakes in the state and should kick out the next record soon. Every time I've been there have caught one over five and have seen at least three sevens out of it. Not to mention all the fish have small heads/eyes and big fat bodies so they still have a long time to grow to reach their max weight. I've never heard of another lake in the state that can even come close and to tell the truth I've fished all over the country and it's still the best lake I've ever been on. I won't say the name now, but you'll hear it soon enough when I crack a 9 and a half out of it and shatter the state record in the next year.

Last year I had a day out there in the fall where my best five added up to 28.5 pounds on the digital scale. Lakes are always in a constant state of flux and I just hope this lake doesn't have a forage base crash, but right now I'm sure it's one of the best lakes in the state as far as size and numbers. And if it stays left alone for the next few years I'm sure it'll put one out over 9. Even if it doesn't, I can't complain about pulling a few sevens out every year wink.gif

max, i live on the lake. my hints are during the day work the outer weed edges with jigs and texas rigged worms. dont even bother fishing the docks (unless you want to catch those small fish) also try crankbaits that dive about 10 feet around the north end of the point on the west end in 10 - 15 feet of water. make sure you are rippin through the weeds. i just got off the lake doing that and caught a five pounder. great lake. and by the way clearwater is home of this years big bass bonanza. i caught my limit of five fish for around 12 pounds. cya later

      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.
