It might not be as big as you are imagining, but I never miss it. I can usually cover the whole thing in 3 hours or so. You can find representation from most any manufacturer of ice fishing gadgets available. I like to go see what's new. You can get some good buys ususally. Last year I think I paid 10.00 for a new Vexilar battery. I can't remember what else I bought. I met "dave" there that is always posting on the ATV forum here. He had an atv there that was set up like an ice fishing assault vehicle. I don't know how far you are driving, but I don't know of a better ice fishing show around.

It's worth the trip, the biggest ice fishing and winter sports show in the us of a. Visit the shoremaster ice fishing section and visit with T-BONE and myself for one of the best kept secrets out there for ice fishing now and years to come called the Rock&Reel. Have been testing these units for 3 years with fellow icefishing people across the country in hard water land. Should be one of the best shows in the last few years.

Yeah... that's prally the Sportsman show. That generally runs in Feburary and is bigger I think... altough the last couple years I've been disapointed... no Bass man fishing from the Semi-tank and WAY too many people. Less shows as well and more RVs. I might go to the Ice Fishing show though; the Rivercenter is nice and close... Hopefully my schedule works out right.

Oh yeah... will there be a possiblity of deals on augers? I'm in the market for a new one myself.. Would be a good place to start....

Let me be blunt.....If you ice fish, you need to attend the Ice Show. You can fill in all the blanks on your equipment list and see ALL that is new in one place. There are also seminars given by the noted experts as well. It's the Disney World of Ice Fishing. Some of the "show specials" that offer lower prices on some of the big ticket items are hard to beat any other time in the season. So if you are in the market for something, bring the "secret money" along .........T

The ice fishing show is a good time, and as all have said, you can find some good deals... The only problem is, once you pay your entry and parking, the deal isn't so good.. Go and write the money up as entertainment!

There are actually quite a few shows in the cities... The Big MPLS show this year is only going to be a 6 day show MARCH 4th threw the 9th... There is the show at River Center in Jan also as well as the ALL Canada show and the Midwest Muskie Show which also runs in March.

its one of the things that is great about minnesota..No other state has as many outdoor shows!.. I LOVE IT HERE!

Secret Money....Those are the bills you come across once in a great while (How'd I wind up with an extra $20?) and get folded twice. Then, they find their way into the inner inside of the inside lip inside your wallet. You know the ones!.......T

It seems that whenever I use the secret money I get in trouble. As soon as you've got some fancy new toy you have to explain where it came from, "Well honey, I, uh, I....got in on sale, yeah it was really cheap...um" wink.gif

Best deals at the ice show are on Sunday -- many of the exhibitors want to get rid of what they got so they don't have to haul it back with them.

Hope to see some of you there.

T-Bone & Spike,
Your secret money coments reminded me of an old truth.
There are three prices men pay for their toys.
1.The price they actually pay.
2.The price they tell the wife they paid.
3. The price they pay when the wife finds out what they actually paid. OUCH!!

TIGHT LINES!!

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      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

      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

      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.
