Hey Guys,

Dumb question, but can I get some feed back on how to best fish for smalllies through the ice? I know what I'm doing in the summer, and fall, but I have never tried them durning the winter season, and would love to give it a shot. So if anyone could fill me in a little as far as depth, and what type of structure ( if its different then the summer/fall time) and bait. I don't do a ton of ice fishing, I'm a muskie guy, and when they aren't biting I chase smallies. thanks guys! I look foward to hearing what you have to say, and Happy New Year to you all!

I hear ya, but I do thinks its funny that you see all these TV Shows, and see all these Guides that offer small mouth fishing durning the winter via ice. I've seen some Fat pigs caught as well, and that's why I was asking. The lake I fish up north has some big crappies, and I've seen some guys nail 21" smallies, but wont share how they caught them. So with that said, I'll stay clear, and hold off till spring. thanks again for the info!

To clarify, as the question was raised in the ice fishing forum.

Smallmouth season is Catch and Release only from 9/15/2007-2/28/2008, not closed, meaning it is legal to target smallmouth, but an angler cannot have one in possession.....

If not a lot of guys on Mille Lacs and Vermillion would be in trouble! blush.gif

      Problems with Yetti

      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.
