Just wanted to post I got back over the weekend from a week stay at Wabigoon Lake, my first time ever there for an extended period...Maybe someone else can use this info...

Lake Conditions...VERY low water, down over 2', really impacted the fishing in my opinion. Fishing the shallows was extremely difficult

Walleyes...the only consistent bite, very easy to find on common reefs, points, and islands,size was hard to come by, largest fish 24"

Pike...AWFUL. Very few found in the shallows, they weren't on the reefs either. Majority of the fish came in mixed in while jig n minnow fishing for walleyes. I was hear in June 1 day and had Great pike fishing, very disapointing.

Muskies...Never Had been skunked going up North on a trip, ever( unless going to Vermilion). Well, not only did I not catch one, but never even got a follow all week frown.gif Very disapointing again

All In all a disapointing trip, all people there who have been going for years said it was some of the worst fishing they had ever seen out there. I don't know, but when you aren't catching a lot of fish all of a sudden the mUrky water and proximity to town become a problem to you real quick. I will Not be going back there.....

Musky,

Sorry to hear about the rough trip. We were up there about the same time of year (maybe right before labor day) a couple of years ago and really struggled also. The fish we did catch were some of the fattest fish I have ever seen but the fishing was the slowest I have ever experienced north of the border.

I really enjoyed the the resort and the owners did everything possible to make our stay pleasant but we will not be going back to Wabigoon either.

      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.
