As we all know, we are into our time of year when everyone is out getting the spear holes cut, and the spears wet while we are looking down that hole all day long.

As a result, I think its time that we start figuring out WHEN/WHERE we are going to hold our [color:"red"] 1st Annual [color:"green"] Get-to-Gator

There is alot of places that we can do it. I would like everyone to take the time to list a few lakes and dates as to when they might be able to hang out. I was thinking of sometime in [color:"red"] February , where we are away from the holidays, and right in the middle of the spearing season.

So lets start to get some ideas out there, and hopefully right after Jan 1, we will have our date set.

Sounds like fun. I guess finding out where the majority of the people are from is going to be one factor. I know there are a couple of us from central mn. One suggestion might be if there is alot of you from the cities and some from cenral mn maybe meet some where in the middle like, Annadale or some where in the that area. I'm from west of st.cloud and have many good lakes but I don't expect all you from the cities to drive that far. I'm just suggesting maybe some where in between. To me it don't matter I'll go anywhere.

i live in cold spring and spearfoots idea of yhe annadale area works for me. make sure its a big enough lake to deal with all those spearholes cut. after we are done the lake could look like swiss cheese.

Hey all,

As we all know, our loving sport of spearing is in full circle, so lets try and plan a Sunday where we can all get out on a bigger lake, and hang out together.

I think that we should go somewhere in the central part of the state, say the st cloud area, annadale or out of the cities, where everyone doesnt have such a far drive.

So lets get some thought rolling on lakes that we might be able to go and hang out for a full day of spearing with all the FMers!!! cool.gifgrin.gif

Had a beauty that was pushing the 20# plus mark that hit my decoy and did a somersault under the corner of the ice and took off!!!! That was a rush again! I live right on hwy10 by Motley if anyone ever gets in my area. Thanks guys

OK I know I am the noob here but I think if someone doesn't step up and make a place and time it won't get done

According to the DNR lake finder info Big Lake (Sherburne County) is clear to 12 Ft

Place: Big Lake (Sherburne County) Big Lake, MN

Date: Feb 2nd, 3rd, 9th, or 10th

I vote for the 3rd but then again I don't care about seeing the superbowl either. I will TiVo it for the commercials though.

My second choice would be the 2nd but I am not sure if B N S can make it on the 2nd.

It would be nice to get the location nailed down at least.

      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.
