Last night was a good night out, had some great weather and a nice warm wind. The best part was there were fish biting. I went out with a friend and started out the night by fishing log jams for channels. Around 7pm we decided to start fishing for flats. Got all set up my friend casted out his channel pole and I tossed out my bullie and wasn't but 20 min came the sure sign that we had a big flat on the other end. With a hard thump and a slow steady pulsing I set the hook into the fish and the fight was on! After a couple mins. up came a 42 lbs flathead. After that we decided to run up river to a log jam and see if we could contact another feeding fish but didn't happen. We finally moved to another spot on a rock point with a nice current edge. at this point we got are bait in the water and it wasn't but 5 mins. and got bit got a small flathead that went just over 10 lbs. I got my bait back in and 10 mins. later my line just tore out of the spool I set the hook right away and the fight was on again. It was fighting good but we knew it wasn't as big as the 42 that we had earlier in the night but it was a good fish. Up came a 25 lb flathead. As we were taking pictures my friends rod had a big thump! A Slow steady pulse of the rod tip he set the hook the fish pulled him right back down, got about 5 feet and Snap! frown.gif The line was frayed pretty good from the rocks! All in All it was a good night with plenty of action!

42 lbs 45 by 28.75

25 lbs 39 by 26

didn't have a tape so just used a piece of line and measured them later so they might not be exzact but should be close.

Not up to par on how to post pictures so if someone would be willing to do so for me that would be great! Thanks Kyle

      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.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      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.
