First time out!!!


Recommended Posts

Well Friday was my first time out on the ice, and as you can see they seemed to be hungry!!! I caught my limit of Jumbo's and Eye's, in total I would have to say I caught at least 50 perch in all. They were all at least 10" long and healthy as ever, they seemed to bite like they did 5 yrs ago, we can only hope they continue!!!

Not a better view!!!

That is sweet!!!! What body of water is producing those size of perch? I went to fort Thompson on friday and got my limit of eyes out in the spillway behind the dam. You had to fish through alot of small ones to get a keeper but it was fun. Probably caught 30 13-14" walleyes to get 4 keepers.

I haven't heard anything this week, I am heading out tomorrow to try it again so I will know more tomorrow night. I was at Richmond last wednesday and there was a good 10" then but since this warmer weather I have no clue what to tell yah!!! Good luck and be careful I will try to update this post tomorrow night.

I was on Richmond Sunday, and there was still 8" or a little better of good ice...I don't think it is losing too much these days, because it is still below freezing overnight. It is only in the mid-40s for a few hours through the middle of the day.

Verg, PerchJr, tell me, tell me! I promise I won't tell all of minnesota.... Isn't it funny how when you post some pics everybody wants to know where you are fishing. Good old internet scouting. Nice fish jr. Just remember to keep those lips tight and hopefully you won't have too many shacks within 10 feet of yours.... shocked.gif swamp

I believe that this HSOforum is here to share information on things like presentations, new products, ice/water conditions and various other things. But, I don't believe that someone else should fill your bucket full of fish for you. Congratulate the guy on a nice catch, then get out there and start fishing and hope you find your own honey hole! Then you can post pics and make him wonder where you caught yours...

    • 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
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • 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.
