WELL AN ACT OF GOD JUST SET MOST OF MY BAIT DOWN THE CREEK! MAYBE THE TREE HUGERS ARE RIGHT....DON'T KILL ANY ANIMALS AND EAT LETTUCE AND STICKS N STUFF.

I JUST GOT 2.5" OF RAIN AND THE CREEK IS CHOCOLATE COLORED. THIS MOST LIKELY WILL CHANGE THE BITE ON THE MINNESOTA RIVER IF THIS RAINFALL WAS WIDESPRED.I GUESS WHEN YOU FIND THIS RIVER LOW AND SOMEWHAT CLEAN, YOU'D BETTER FISH WHILE YOU CAN.
WET NETS!

Dark, a guy that works with me left home at 7 this morning and he had over 3" of rain, he lives in the MN river bottom south of Sacred Heart. Actually, Jesse Ventura stopped less than a 1/4 of a mile from his house yesterday on his tour of the MN river and CREP land. We needed the rain bad though! Good fishing.

I didn't realize that we had so much rain. There's more coming I guess. We finally got out last night until about 10. Just one flat about 6 pounds. I need some big ones! Those creek chubs we caught make a big difference. I left my chub out there for about an hour and a half before he got hit and he was tuggin' the whole time. They are much more active than the bait store suckers and free too. I guess we'll see how the rain effects the river this weekend. Vern

Hope you didn't lose your traps!A big gully washer like that could have restocked some of my bait tanks!What did it do the the water levels?Is she coming up?Some of my favorite spots are going to be ruined if she did.I hope the fish are not done eating just yet.Rising water sucks but I think the cooling temps has them moving and looking for wintering holes and packing it on for the winter.I have caught them into october.If the river stabilizes we could still have some good fishing.

ITS NOT OVER YET! I THINK THE RAIN WE HAD SOAKED IN REAL WELL AS WE WERE SO DRY TO START WITH. LAST NIGHT THE RIVER LOOKED GREAT ALTHOUGH ITS TAKES A COUPLE OF DAYS FOR WATER OUT WEST TO SHOW UP HERE. THE CREEKS CAME DOWN REAL FAST AND NOW ARE CLEARED UP PRETTY GOOD TOO.
WE HAVE TO GET SOME MORE PICS THIS FALL YET! I NEED A NEW BIG WALLEYE SHOT TOO!

My traps were full of 4-5" suckers.I don't think they were very happy!Also caught some more of those madtom things and a ton of crayfish.Went out to the rapids last night and all was eerily quiet.No minnows on the surface or in the water.Nothing even on the sonar.Weird!

      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.
