Well I had the best ice fishin day ever on Sunday. Got there at 9:00 and some guys were in my favorite spot. I setup near them and I must have caught 15 yellow perch by noontime but no big fish yet. The other guys were leaving around 12:30 and I got a real nice pickerel. 24 inches long around 3 1/2 pounds. I moved two of my traps over to some holes that I knew were good for bass. I kept getting more perch and then I got another nice pick, over 20 inches and a good fight. At 2:00 I got a flag at one of the traps in my bass holes, a real nice fighting 16 inch large mouth bass around 2 3/4 pounds.
A little later I got another nice pick. I was thinking of leaving cause my legs were getting tired from running for all the flags when I got another LM Bass. Smaller around 11 inches. Started pounding down beers and my legs felt better so I stayed longer. Got some more perch then I got another LM Bass, this one gave a real good fight. He was 17 inches about 3 lbs. It was the best day. In total I got 3 LM Bass, 3 Big Picks, and at least 25 yellow perch. Over 30 fish in one day...Planning to go next Saturday and get that 17 inch bass's big brother... Should be over a foot of ice by next weekend. Had 8 inches of ice on Sunday. Shinners are up to $5.00 a dozen now. (OUCH) How much are they out there?

I am in favor of "Catch and Release" however I did keep the 24 inch Pickerel to try once again to cook one up. The last time I tried a Pick it had so many bones that I could not eat it. I guess I just don't know how to clean it properly? I also kept one of the yellow perch cause it died when I caught it. I was going to leave it for the Gulls but brought it home to try as well. I've never had much luck eating freshwater fish. They have too many bones or they end up tasting like the pond. I've had good luck with trout though. Last time I got trout I smoked them for 2 1/2 hours with some green pear branches and they were great!

      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.
