The water temp is right to see a cat bite start very soon. A good idea would be to stock up on some suckers as bait. By chunking them and freezing them in milk cartons or zip-locks you are ready to go at a moments notice. Spring sucker run will be very soon so take advantage of the bait opportunity, fun fishing too. I manage to catch a mess of suckers with white twisters while fishing for post spawn walleye, good bait can be hard to find in days to come folks!

Go Piggy!

Hey Backwater Eddy,

Could you go into more detail about the catfish rig you explained in your article about high water cats? I have an idea of what you are trying to explain but not exactly. If you had a picture of the rig a link to it would be appreciated. Sorry, but I often have to ask people to draw me pictures as I am not the sharpest hook in the tackle box.

I fish the Minnesota between Shakopee and Lesuer and this high water is killing me. thanks for all of the information. Good info on cats in Minnesota is hard to find and you are a wealth of it.

Thanks,

------------------
Go get 'em!

It is basically a 3-way rig with a drop loop made from a light duty steel leader attached to the 3-way swivel with a split ring.

Loop the leader through the drop weight and attach the clip to the leader at the split ring, this will alow the hollow wall tubing to role on the loop and the bottom.

Next set up your bait leader from the other open swivel eye, a 20-40 lb mono or Teflon coated Dacron leader with a 8 or 9 O/T circle hook and your ready to rock.

Sorry I have no illustration for you but if I can come up with one I will post it when I do.

Hey guys, I was hoping for some help finding fish in the Fargo area. If anyone knows of a good place for walleyes, bass, or northerns or good spots for cats on the red or elsewhere, within a couple hours drive of Fargo it'd be of great help. I don't own a boat so if anyone knows of good river fishing that'd be ideal or if there is a good place to fish from shore in the area, please let me know

thanks

ON2STIX,
I DON'T KNOW OF MUCH AROUND FARGO CLOSE BUT DOWN BY FERGUS FALLS, THERES A FEW NICE LITTLE HYDRO DAMS TO CHECK OUT ON THE OTTER TAIL RIVER. I AND THE FAMILY ARE GOING UP THERE ON SUNDAY FOR THE WEEK AND STAYING AT SWAN LAKE RESORT. THE LAKE IS GREAT FOR SUNNIES AND BASS BUT I'M GONNA BE SPENDING ALOT OF TIME AT ORWELL RES. SOUTH OF FERGUS ON THE OTTER TAIL.

CANOPY SAM, I HAVEN'T HEARD ABOUT ANY REAL BIG ONES BUT THERE ARE CHANNELS TO BE HAD FOR SURE. I AND FISHHEAD ARE HEADING OUT TONIGHT AND HOPEFULLY GET SOME RUNS!
WET NETS!

ON2STIX?
FISHING THE RED RIGHT AROUND FARGO CAN BE GREAT FOR CATS AND WALLEYES - NOT SO SURE ABOUT PIKE, BUT THEY ARE THERE. LOOK UP BACKWATER EDDY AT THE RED RIVER (OR WESTERN MINNESOTA) FISHING REPORTS SITE. HE'S A GREAT RESOURCE FOR INFO ABOUT THAT SECTION OF RIVER.
DARK, I JUST READ YOUR POST - WISH I COULDA JOINED YOU FELLAS LAST NIGHT - HOW'D IT GO?
I'M GOIN' DOWN TO THE BRIDGE (EAST SIDE WHERE THE BIG EDDY CURRENT IS TONIGHT) MAYBE I'LL SEE YA THERE.

How 'bout the Crow River?
Just moved to the West Metro (Long Lake/Independence area) and am wondering about fishing on the Crow River - anywhere from Dayton on up. I love cattin but haven't found any of real size. Also, any other fish in there - smallmouth? Walleye?

      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

      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.

      By Wanderer · Posted

      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.
