Reliable sources for Info as I travel the state..

Hi all,

I will be traveling thru MN after the ice show, and wont have a computer with me. I would like to know "Ice Leader friendly" places, (bait shops, resorts etc)(no links or phone numbers needed, just some names of places) where I can get reliable up to date info about fishing conditions as my wife and I travel thru...

Brainerd,

Grand Rapids

Virginia

I Falls and LOW

Thief River Falls

areas. Also, if you would be willing to provide your personal contact info so I can touch base as I pass thru, and maybe direct me to a spot for a quick half day fish, that would be great. Wont have a lot of gear so it would need to be a real close/quick shot and then I would be on my way.

Many of you guys have become like family to me (ok 3rd cousins!) thru this site and its always nice to know who/where the "friendly's" are when you are traveling. When I traveled thru fishing 2 years ago, every one was VERY helpfull! This is THE place!!!

Thanks!

In the Brainerd area your best bet is talking to WalleyeDan at S&W Bait right on 371, also check with Jason at Sportland Bait in Nisswa. They are both moderators of the Brainerd Forum, and will be up to date on the latest whenever you pass through. In fact, you may want to post on each of those other local forum pages as well. Good luck and have a great trip.

Well, I'm in the Brainerd area. If you are stopping by this way just let me know, and I'll send you some contact info. But seriously, I just checked weather and its in the 40s here next week, I'm not sure how much ice we are going to have right after the ice show (of which I'll be attending on Friday).

several folks have responded and I appreciate it, but I will not have a laptop and dont want to count on being able to find a computer to email. So, again, some reliable bait shops/sporting good stores to get the most up to date info is most helpfull, with a personal contact via my email below, even better. I'll buy the bait and the beer!

    • 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.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • 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.
    • 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.
