According to the DNR Crappies have the ability to negotiate the test nets and swim around them rather then caught in them....With that kind of inteligents you know that they just have to have some other form of protection from anglers...

"The leader of the pack".

Not even Walleyes have this kind of "get-up" in their gang.

I also had a dream. A voice told me that the Guardian fish which you see on you Vex is only a reflection of your inner-guardian fish, the same Guardian fish that is within all of us. When the Guardian fish appears on your Vex, it's only a reminder to you (and all of us) that what you really want and seek is a protector or a guardian, as it were. The only way to rid yourself of this unwanted interference on your Vex and in your life is to join my "Church of Guardianology", sign over your paycheck and wife and soon all your fears and blips will be gone.

Bass do not get caught in the nets as often because the nets are not set up in the weeds and such areas that Bass love to hang out...

You see numbers of Crappies in nets because populations are high....

But according to some fishery experts at the DNR Crappies are most likely to negotiate the nets...This witnessed on underwater camera recordings...again told to me by...THE DNR.

On lakes that I have fished for many years season round and have a good idea as to the Crappies population and sizes I can first handidly say that the netting reports and fishing results don't always match up.

I thought that was Bass and carp? Crappies, Bluegills and Pike make the majority of net catches; as if they purposely swim into them. Bass and carp are rarely caught in gill nets; even if the lake has a large population of them. I haven't seen more than 6 LM bass caught in a given survey of any of the lakes I've looked at; and one of them-- Orchard; which I catch many bass only came up with 4. Interesting....

Either they are swimming around the net.........or the DNR isn't suspending those nets over deep water during June and July when they are test netting. It helps to put the nets in areas that the fish prefer at that time of year......I wonder which one it is? Scott Steil

Bass are the ones that are good about avoiding nets smile.gif Thats why they gotta zap em to survey their population. Walleyes n such are kinda like lemmings...thats why you see so many in the nets. The bassies are smart. Thats why they fight so hard when hooked, them walleys are just too dumb to know they are hooked and don't really try to fight much untill they are in the bottom of the boat or on the fillet board.

      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.

      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.
