I don't have much experience fishing trout through the ice but would like to try. I live near Square Lake and was wondering if anyone had any tips on where to fish (depth, etc..) and what lures and bait work best. Also is there a bettertime of day to fish? I tried fishing one day last week and was skunked.

Im going out there saturday morning. Im going to set out some tips for northern and also jig for trout/pannies. Ill let you know if I have any luck.

Does anyone know where the sunken boats/airplane tail and platforms are. I would think this should be some sweet structure for ice fishing.

Last time I was out there was last spring, caught several small northern and bass. The water is amazing on this lake.

Tried the hump on the west end with tip ups and jiggin for anything, we didnt see one fish on the flasher or the tipups. After that we went to the bend on the north end and saw some large crappie on the camera and one northern. I had one hit but it got off and didnt see anything else. We were out for an entire day. It was pretty sad. -(Contact Us Please)

      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.
