where's the ice?!!!!


Recommended Posts

Just got back from Devils Lake, ND a couple days ago. Plenty of ice up that way. There was 2feet of it up there. That would be a long haul from Indiana though. I takes almost 7 hours from Minneapolis..

I hope to be going to (Contact Us Please) soon, i think it should take 10 hrs. from my town. i can make duluth in 10hrs. so it should be less to (Contact Us Please). Plenty of ice though, i have been to leech lake and drilled through 37 in. before, lots of ice. How did you do at devils lake,and where did you stay, supposed to be getting jumbos up there, any luck? Always wanted to get up there.

We did pretty good up on Devil's this year. The jumbo perch were biting pretty well along with the walleye. My buddy has an uncle that lives on the lake and we used to just stay in his perm. shack. Unfortunately he sold it in the off season. We ended up renting a sleeper from a guide service. We mostly fished out of our portables and tried to stay mobile to keep on the bite. My buddy's uncle and his friends tried hard to keep us on fish and they did a pretty good job. We did better this year compared to last out there.

    • 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.
