caught some in 8-12 feet trolling number 5 jointed shad raps. nothing else worked but them. This was over a week ago when the water temp. was about 56 so not sure what's hot with all this cold weather hitting.

How about walleyes in the morning right through the middle of the afternoon? (rhetorical question there)

We had the Southcentral Fall get-together today and it was a pretty decent bite in some tougher conditions. Cranks and rattletraps in 2'-6' of water adjacent to and over gravel and rock ruled the roost today, both trolled and casted. Live bait was a dead issue. smirk.gif Got my first fall walleye ever today (nice 18.5" fish) on a red/black rattletrap (yet another first). Many FAT fish in the 18" - 22" range were caught with these techniques at these depths. LOADS of fun! grin.gif

Water temp down here ranged from 42 - 49 degrees on the surface (which was warmer than the outside air!) grin.gif

Had a blast last week in the evenings wading out on the beach area on Silver lake by Hawley, Minn. Caught and released many walleyes between 20" and 28" about 4 a nite between 7and 8 o'clock. Silver and black X-raps!

Borch - Jay hooked one about 6" from the bank in a few inches of water and couldn't finish the deal but he crashed it hard you could here it a 1/2 mile out. He had it for a few seconds and couldn't budge him. Interestingly enough 3 years back a 31" was caught in that area smile.gif

32" that's a huge fish. Mine was 10lb's 30" on the button. One of these days I'll get a replica done when I have an extra 500 laying around. mad.gif

The colder it gets the larger the cranks I throw, nothing like slow crawling a big smithwick super roque for big fish.

      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.
