Polk County Report!


Recommended Posts

Had a great day today for multi-species! Fished a small lake outside of Luck and got about 30 nice sized gills, a few decent crappies, a big ol bass, and a 36 inch pike! small white jigs and waxies or Gulp! took the sunnies and crappies. I tried crappie minnows with little succes. The big pike came on a tip up with a monster creek chub. Talk about a blast. The lake only gets 13 ft deep but we did best in about 10 ft of water right off the weedline.

Burnett County Report - I had a good day on pike on a small lake east of Siren. I used up over two dozen shiners. I got lots of two and three pounders and one over 36" that I am not sure how much it weighed. All the pike were hooked using circle hooks on a tip up so I could release them. Only one was hooked too bad to release and I only missed a few.

The bluegills were hitting good but they were small. Around four PM, the crappies started hitting and some of them were very big for such a small lake. Now it is raining and I am stuck in the cabin with the inlaws until it stops raining! The lake had only about 6" of ice.

mpester,

My inlaws are from spooner, was up last weekend and fished Clam one day, it was poor for bluegills, i drilled about 100 holes and didn't ice one, got a bunch of runt pike on tipups though. Fished a few other lakes around spooner and got some dandy gills and crappies though. Ton of little fun lakes around that area.

My in-laws cabin is on Clam but I hardly fish that lake anymore. It is a fair lake for big fish but the numbers do not seem very good. I need more action than I get on Clam. The other lakes in the area are better for numbers of fish and many of them give up some good sized fish. Also, I like to be away from the crowds that Clam Lake seems to have. Most of the smaller lakes I fish in that area have fewer than five houses (if any) on them in the winter.

    • 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.
    • 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.
