I know a guy who lives on Bevens creek and last night I took the ultralight and fished for chubs.I did get about half a dozen nice sized chubs and well over a dozen BIG shiners.I dont't know if the shiners are going to make it but they are still kicking today.What is really interesting is that I was also catching small walleye.At fist when I saw the school I thought they were suckers then I tossed my bait in and pulled out a little cigar.There were about three dozen in the school.It was real interesting watching how they inspect the bait before they decided if they wanted it or not.
The night before we wrestled a 24lb flathead from a deep pool in his section of the creek.This is 4 miles from the river itself!He was fat and happy so we just put him back.Big flatheads make great pets you know!

I got the chubs on Yozuri pins minnow.The shiners cam on the same or a tiny black jig with a bit of crawler.Its strange but sometimes the chubs want to chase something and won't take any bait.The shiners I couldn't keep off the line no matter what I was using.There were suckers in the creek also but I could not get them to bite anything.I went to a different creek tonite and got a bunch of chubs on a plain hook and bit of crawler but the biggest of these was only about 5",not much use for Flatheads.I guess I will have to hit the bait shop for some suckers.You should try those bullheads.I hear they are really good bait.I wanted to try them but I have run out of time to get my own bait.

Hey Fishhead! How did you catch that flathead? Were you fishing cats back there? That sounds pretty cool catching a big flat way back in the creek. How deep was it? Good luck in the tourny, Vern

We weren't realy fishing for cats in the creek.Just happened on him laying in a pool about 4 ft deep(the deepest one at this time).I always keep gear in my truck so I went and got it and after pestering him for about a half hour up he came.I actually had to get in the water and wrestle him on to shore.I can't imagine what those southern noodle boys go through.We weighed him and put him back.He was in the very same place the next night,although he looked a little angry.

I was gonna ask ya if you noodled him out of there. That's some crazy stuff those noodlers do, reaching around in hollowed out logs. You never know what's down there. I wonder if anyone does that up here. That would be a good topic. Anyway, that's an interesting story. Vern

      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.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      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.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
