Got nothing else but fishing stuff - cranks, plastics, jig paint, RAM mount for the boat for the hand-held GPS, cheapo "fishing" watch by Casio, etc. Nothing big but all fun.

Mostly focused on getting colors/sizes/styles not fished locally very much (that I know of) like Zipper Worms for example or stickbaits in Blue/Chartreuse Laminate.

Now I can't wait to get to some soft water.

Wife OK'd a late March/early April trip to Table Rock/Lake of Ozarks/Truman area to fish so the countdown has begun!

Doug -

I've heard that about the rock and thanks for the location tip - never fished the lake before but have done Table Rock several times. Used to fish the backwater below that dam for crappies when we lived down in KC and did not have a boat. They would get pretty thick in there - where I caught my biggest ever - 16.5"! Isn't the dam where it becomes Truman on the other side?

All kinds of deals are to be had on lodging I am finding out. One even gives a free half-day with guide. Would love to get enough guys to have about 3-4 boats - would improve our chances of finding fish and even perhaps allow for a little friendly and informal competition....

Only tough part is you never know what to expect that time of year - 30 degrees or 75 degrees (or both!) But, hey, at least it is fishing in soft water....

In any case I hope I can make it happen - too expensive and not as much fun to do alone.

      Problems with Yetti

      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.
