The camera locked on my jigging rap/minnow head on a sand flat on Mille Lacs from another hole 4 feet away. Great, right?

My hair raised as the musky moved in from behind the cam and stopped at my jig, blocking my view of it. The last 1/4 of it still behind the cam as he checked it out for about a minute it seemed.

I was getting nervous because the perch set up seemed a tad light for this one. Finally it just moves along and when my jig reappeared, there was no minnow head any more! It wasn't on the sand either!

Last year at winnie, I looked at the camera and saw a perch that was nose first in the silt. All of sudden out of now where a nothern hit him. He was there one second and in the northern's mouth the next. that was cool

The flashlight that i dropped down the hole the weekend before. The thing was standing straight up with the light on the bottom. If only the loop would have been open i might have been able to get it grin.gif

Very first time I used the new camera (about 5 or 6 years ago now) I put it in the hole on White Bear. My brother was sitting in the house with the moniter and I was lowering the camera, he starts screaming like a little girl and then I feel the hit and head shake and a good pull, then it let go. I went in to ask what the heck happened and he said it was a big muskie. It hit almost immediately after my brother switched from normal power to turn the lights on. I thought it would be the greatest thing ever from that point on, and it pretty much has been a really fun tool that I have learned a lot from over the years.

Perch fishing on Winnie 2 or 3 years ago I had a school of pike come past, 5 or 6 of them that I could see on camera. Couldn't tell how big they were and they didn't want anything to do with my baits. Surprised me to see them schooled up, I always thought they were loners.

Custom built deadstick with a shimano 500 symmetrye blush.gif 1 trebble hook duct taped to 2 hockey sticks, a piece of 2x3 and a cut canoe paddle (thank god for cordless drills) and we got it back. Still attatched was the thief (2lb walleye pre-slot on upper red). The owner took a pic holding everything.

Well my brother just called me today. He was fishing on a small pond on one of our farms. My cousin and him were just starting to fish when a muskrat attacked his camera that looks like a crappie, then grabbed his bait. Luckly he didn't hook the dumb thing. He was awful excited when he called, would've been fun to see that. grin.gif

Hey Gator, U do believe I was just looking at those photos yesterday and wishing I still had access to that very nice sleeper we were in. I also believe that bug eyed blinded crappies that wont bite take away from the boredom of a long trip

Last winter on URL, Jonny P and I couldn't figure out why one of the rentals wasn't kicking out crappies/walleyes one night. We put down the camera after seeing some mega-targets on our marcums, and saw two 20lb+ pike cruising together slowly measuring-up each of our baits. The more frantically we jigged, the more interest they'd each show, from one end of the house and back to the other. We couldn't get them to leave!

I think the coolest thing I regularly see is finicky panfish, and how valuable the camera can be. This weekend, many of the bluegill would suck/blow about 3 times, then eventually come back, take in the bait, then after 2-3 seconds, take the hook into their mouths. Then, and ONLY then, could you set the hook. Do it any sooner, and you'd spook them. Dietz was catching them without the camera, but I wasn't good enough!

A big beaver, at first I didn't know what it was because it was so close to the camera. It finally backed away and i was able to tell what it was. He bumped the camera several times, so after he left I bent over to adjust the tripod and the sucker came up the whole I was hunched over. I don't know who was more scared the beaver or me. Next time i see a beaver I'm staying back from the holes.

Quote: Out on Little Long lake in Minnetrista (I think) straight out from the launch about 40 yards there is a dock at the bottom with a toilet sitting upright on it....

That dock is a dive platform that is used to train divers. The Underwater Schools of America in Long Lake use it to train dive students. By using the platform they dont kick up silt.

      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.
