Ice fishing 2007-2008


Recommended Posts

Timmy - Most cameras go to no-flash when you put them on macro(up close) setting. If you want flash you have to select it. My new camera has 4 diff macro setting - no flash, always flash, flash if the camera deems it neccesary, and an infa-red setting with a little light added.

That pict was taken with a setting called "available light". No flash but it amps up what light is already there. Iv'e used that setting alot inside and out when you dont quite need flash as the flash would overpower the shot...

I am not going to be able to go either on Thursday. I forgot I have a "All Managers Mandatory Meeting" @ 2pm tomorrow. It's a good thing I checked my Microsoft Outlook Calendar. Missing that meeting would have allowed me to fish all winter...because I would have no JOB.LOL

Hopefully I can catch up with a few of you somewhere on the Hard Stuff this weekend. If anyone has an extra spot on the ice somewhere...give me a message.

Thanks and be safe.

Be careful Kyle, I know a few that carry guns. lol I seen a guy pull a gun in the spring on another guy who was trying to steal his dock. It wasn't a good sight and I thought for sure I was going to see someone die. Needless to say the law was called and he ended up behind bars, at least for the rest of that day. I don't fish there anymore, to many shady characters for me.

Tim,

We used a technique called "pain compliance" on the job. I could teach you guys some. I learned a lot about how to hurt them without leaving any marks! HEHEH Less personel complaints that way. Seriously, there is a way! I may head out looking around tomorrow. I'm bouncing off the walls. Just need to find a place I won't end up swimming. Got some infoon my secret place. We'll talk.

CNY Lee - if we head down south somewhere, I'll post it here. Hopefully there is local ice by this weekend.

If there isn't safe ice in Madison County, does anyone have any suggestions on where to go Sat or Sun?

Aaron I'm sure Fishingking and others will be scouting. Anxious for the C report later today.

Just talked to Jimmy and Kyle iced one crappie thus far, still all by themselves out there.When I was on the phone with him he had a nice school move in. grin.gif Dark Cloud does that when things are slow, gives me a hollar and the bite seems to pick right back up ;\)

Fishingking - The ice was great off the backside, thanks again...

Did a drive by of Delta a little while ago . . .about 6 guys out on the main lake side. Nobody on the backsets. 2 out in front of the beach and 4 further down same side. Don't know how they got on the ice. Lake is very high. Be very careful.

Thanks Frank looks like Delta will be ready for you tomorrow if your still taking a day off, suppose to get an inch or two of snow tonight.

Doug sent me some pics of his trip with his family up to the dog from earlier in the week.

Mmmmm Happy...

is that the only crappie you caught Doug whistle.gif

Scouting reports from the past 2 days after 450 total miles traveled reports 3 ponds (with not so hot fishing) in Chenango County with safe ice and 0 places in Madison County with safe ice. We checked around 30-35 places including everything from 1 acre private ponds to the bigger lakes. Shorelines are still messed up on almost every body of water and alot of the places in Madison county still have open spots on them.

    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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.
