It just seems to be getting harder now days to find a bunch of crappies and big crappies in Wi. I would like to see a crappie limit of ten fish with a 10" size limit. Do you think this would help or am I looking at it wrong. Whats your thoughts, are you happy with Wi. panfishing?

Personally I do not think a slot is the way to go on panfish... Lower the bag limits for sure!!! Tis the time and age of better angling methods and more users.. We need to protect our fisheries...

No need for more then 5 crappies in my mind.. and 10 gills... That a 10 and 20 possession limit... Surely enough for the freezer for sometime...

I have talked extensivly with wardens and biologists on this exaxt matter. Glad to see other people getting concerned. Trouble is everybody loves to keep and eat panfish, and they get no respect. The political ramifications killed a lowered panfish bill about 15 years ago when it was reccommended from the top (dnr) seems resorts, and other groups with lobbyists started howling how it would hurt business. (opposite of what really would happen if the fishing improved-look at U.R.L.) So the only way to change it is from the bottom up. Write those proposals and bring them to your countys Conservation. Congress meeting. This is the only way it would change. From the people I have spoken to, the semantics of the law could be changed to actually increase the "Panfish" limit, while protecting the fishery. A change in the law allowing the panfish limit to be raised to 30 fish a day might interest alot of the special interests, the stipulation would be 10 each of a species. You could keep 30 panfish, but only 10 crappies, 10 gills, and 10 perch per day! If you like this idea, write it in a proposal, sign your name on it and submit it at the congress hearing! The only way anything will ever change is if you get involved at a personal level and git-r-done!! Now, Where is our ice?? I have lake trout trips scheduled and may just have to un-winterize the boat !!! PRAY FOR COLD!!!!! Craig, Outdoor Allure Sport Shop & Guide Service, on the web.

FYI the panfish life span is 5 to 6 years. The DNR has limited various lakes down to 10, but I think it is only part of the issues. I have seen no size difference in 10 years on these lakes. You have predators (us included), food, oxygen, genetics, etc. Like the goldfish in a small bowl - only gets bigger if in a bigger bowl and has no competition. Be careful what you wish for. You may get a lake full of stunted fisheys..

      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.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      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.
