Anybody here around the bay fishing the inland lakes? What is the ice condition? I'd like to get out. I heard that last weekend there was someone out a couple hundred feet on the pond at Drummond. Any info will be appreciated.

I have been out a few times now.. Ice conditions on MOST lakes are good to go for foot travel. And all lakes varied for ice conditions. Some had three to 4 inches, others were 4 to 5 inces. And with that, the bigger lakes were still a bit thin over the deeper water when I checked. Deeper water was 20FOW or more.

Be sure to use a spud and check as you go. Also, would be wise to fish with a friend. Definately is a weird year for ice up.

Thanks for the reply.

I went out to the Delta area today. Saw some folks out on the Pike Lake Chain and on Bluebird. I did spud Delta Lake and there was 5 inches on it. There were tracks of others that had been there.

Bass & Bellevue ice was sketchy today, anywhere from 2-6". Some of the 2" was very soft, I made sure to avoid it. Fishing sucked. Drilled 70+ holes this morning and did not mark a single fish. Did some spudding on Buskey bay and it looked pretty solid, didn't have enough time to fish it though.

Bellevue does have some good Pumpkinseeds Cheffrey... 'Gills and Crappies I have caught in there have been pretty small, but the pumpkins were very nice...

Shoot me an e-mail and we can discuss some lakes if you want...

      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.
