Great Thanksgiving weather for all of us. My boy and I fished Giest Reservoir T-day and did great on crappies. Largest was about 11" but the numbers were beyond countable. I hear Lake Michigan is giving up good numbers of perch. May have to try this tomorrow morning out by the port of Indiana.

I was born and raised in Indiana, left when I was 19. Been living in Minnesota for over 20 years now, but I would be VERY interested in finding out what's happening down there. I still have lots of family in Indiana.

Has anyone got any info about Lake Shafer, or Freeman, or the Mississinawa Reservoir?

I have not had much time to fish this year but hit lake michigan last monday for perch. Caught a two man limit with a friend of 30 jumbo lake perch averageing 11-12 inches each. Caught several small ones that were released unharmed. Had a dead stick over the boat in a rod holder. This was a 5'4" Loomis Mag/Lite with 4 lb test and a 1/16 oz jig with a minnow bobbing up and down. It produced a 31" laker that went 8 plus pounds. Release it as I was sure it would glow in the dark. Take care

Cool. It's been a while since I've been here but plan on getting back into fishing a lot more than I did last year.

So cool to see a Indiana forum here (was always hoping they'd get one)

So everyone from Indiana.

Tell us where you're from & what you fish for & where.

I'll start. I'm from Mishawaka, mainly fish panfish & bass every now and again.

Like to fish Fish Lake & Shipshewana.

Oldtyme,

I'm from Crown Point. I don't fish much in the area now but used to fish the chain north of Valparaiso and Fishtrap in Laporte. Another favorite spot is James Lake north of Warsaw. Most of my fishing these days is done up north of Bemidji, MN.

Regards,

Indiana Mike

I live on Lake Louise in Shorewood Forest near Valpo and have property on Flint Lake in Valpo. Enjoy panfish and south shore of lake michigan for coho and perch.

Indiana Mike,

I'm glad to see you're posting from the great city of Crown Point. I have a buddy that lives in Crown Point. I've been trying to get him to do a little posting. Maybe this will get him interested now that he can see a little local interest.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      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.

      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.
