WARNING BIG WIND ON THE WAY!

Good advice Ed.

I recently moved from MN to Williston, ND, and we definately have wind here today!!!

Was out to the Lake yesterday (Sakakawea) and many were moving their houses off. A good idea I think!

Anyways.....look out for the wind!

And windy in Grand Forks during mid-day to afternoon. Never made it outside, but they were calling for 25+ mph. By the way the trees were rocking in town, I'd probably put it up around 40+ at times out in open areas. Not a good situation for a light fish house on an open lake with little snow!

Not real good...at least for me.

Was out yesterday afternoon for a few hours. Managed 1 nice saugeye and about a 7 pound ling...what do they call it in MN....the eelpout...I thought about taking it home to try but just couldn't do it! LOL

Not a lot of fishermen out on my end of Sak.

With the slick ice and warm weather anglers should quickly check on there permanent shacks.

Winds in excess of 70 mph are in western ND now. Headed East is the prediction, so anchor them shack folks.

Several shacks melted through in ND this weekend so watch for open areas near fish houses.

Going to be a big blow by the sound of it!

    • 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.
