I seriously thinking of hitting the rainy river an the gap area. Local freinds up there tell me youre missing alot if your not trying take'em coming back down river. The same holes from the Gap up river a couple miles where we were hiting them last week is where I'm gonna start looking. A large rattle spoon tipped with a couple shinners whee haww. The river should freeze over nicely an early with the almost no current. If the pigs go up the pigs come back down. Later Boar

Hmmm lets see.. Same as the last umpteen years, walking out on the LOTW. As for just where time will tell depending on ice condition and intuition. Lower river? The bay? Morris or Graceton beach areas? Unfortunatly with this nice weather it may not be as soon as I'd hoped. But one can still get into some fantastic Walleye fishing from a boat in the mean time!

Odds are better than good I'll be out there Chris. Jim has moved out to the valley and will only be around weekends so this may find me on the ice a bit more often midweek.

Would you shoot me an e, got a ? for ya.

local lakes - first - then first trip will be a Minnesota tour - I have the week off between Christmas and new years - current plan is to leave Christmas Day and return New Years day (pull the sleeper house with) - thinking Mille Lacs, Winnie, Red, then LOTW? Need to figure out which lakes for sure and how long I'll be at each - thinking the fishing will determine time spent on each lake - maybe I will not make it off of Mille Lacs

I'm excited

the first trip every year is at the cabin on fleming lake since it always is one of the first to freeze in the aitkin area. the only thing is a little snow is almost a must since the lake is not too deep.

Selkirk/Red River next weekend baby. Lake of the woods a couple weeks after that. Big walleyes here I come. The house is ready. The rods are rigged except for the ones on their way to me from Thorne. I just need to put the final tackle together and I will be ready. Can't wait.

      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.
