A fun trip to DL


Recommended Posts

What a fun trip. The fish were not helpful for us on Tuesday but Wednesday was fantastic. What a great fishery.

Great size and we caught about 30 eyes from 7 am too 11 am.. size was tiny 9just a couple to eaters -0- 15-18 and about 15 over 20 inches. biggest in the boat was 25 inch. Had a couple to the boat t6hat were bigger but lost them, of course.

It was great and I think everyone should give the DL a try. We had a great guide as well.

Ok -- I do have one very painful story to tell you. First of all I am NOT one to add on to a story or the size of a fish. At least I am not doing it now.

Anyway after doing very well Wednesday am I had a very nice hit. A big fish -- no question about it. I brought him up and before the "guide" could get the net he surfaced. My dad and I saw a monster walleye. I saw him out of the water so I know he was big -- not just "water" big.

He must have seen the net and he did one last run. and broke my line -- or at least I thought. When I reeled up I had a jig that was attached to my hook. Yes, a huge mister twister that was starting to rust. It had some line attached to it as well.

My guess is that when I set the hook I caught the other guys hook!!!!

What are the odds of that?

The fish had to be between 8-12 pounds and I am guessing about 30 inches -- like 10 pounds. Man that is tough to deal with.

What are the odds? I guess that is how they get big -- they get smarter and they have to be a little lucky.

100 percent true story.

Did anyone lose that lure? wink.gifgrin.gifcool.gif

    • 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.
