Good Morning All,

Thanks for the warm welcomes, would love to be on the river this morning hooking a big wally. I dislike this time of year so much. Stuck between water and ice. Would be nice if we could just wake up and there is 10 inches of ice. Andre, I have my eye on this great new outdoor cooker (made by King Kooker), double fryers on a table. Hot walleye chowder on one side and deep fried walleye on the other, served to you in your ice shack. Only problem is I would need atleast 8 fishing buddies. I would be torn between the fishing and cooking.

Is there ice yet?

I will be waiting for all to join me.

Holly

First picture is of a monster cat, Stu and I where on our way back to "Cats" when he said, " Gotta show you this little honey hole." Five minutes later, hooked this gal. Second is of my daughter last Sunday, her personal best at this point. She is still a little afraid to hold them but that does not stop her from catching them. Guess that is what she has a mom for, lol.

I share, my best day out there was with a wonderful couple I took out on a four hour trip. Took 34 cats, 28 of them where trophies. They almost wore me out. Biggest in my boat this year was 41. 75 inches and well over 35 lbs. More than one third of my body weight. Love to take you one day, can take you to a few secret spots. Music to my ears when I hear a client say, "Time Out, I need a break." Lol, a women with a cruel streak....lol.

Thank you all, I live to fish and hunt. Cat fishing in the summer time is nothing less incredible. The power that these fish have is wild. My winter is spent on the ice looking for big wally's. I have all custom clothing to make it nicer to enjoy the outdoors. If anyone is interested let me know.

Lisa,

Thanks for the warm welcome,it is much appreciated. Nice to know there are still some good folks out there and you are one of them. I am just glad that I am not the only one that feels a bit confined in the winter attire. (WE ICE FISH TOO!!)Totally relate to the wardrobe issues. I hope mamacats does well w/her venture. smile

Actually I do not sell the clothing. I used to give seminars about "Women in the Outdoors", so I simply give ideas on how to make it easier for us out there. For instance, you can buy camo sweats for hunting, or sweats or cargo pants for fishing. If you sew it is easy, if not left your fingers do the walking in the yellow pages. Take your sweats or cargos and add a zipper that runs from the inside of one knee around to the inside of the other. If you have a layers such as ski pants do those to. Guess what you never have to pull anything down again. LOL.

Ingenious! That is a great idea! I think I could learn a thing or 300 from you Holly.

Julie and Holly, what gear to you gals swear by? Anything specific that you keeps you warm and dry?

Zippers and velcro are our friends, lol. As fare as warmth well, I love anything with gortex. And good old Sorel's. In the winter time I wear layers of velcro sweats topped with heavy ski pants with a zipper. Oh yes and one of those great Elmer Fud hats. Toasty warm is good.

Another thing I do is wear really long socks. Take hand warmers and roll the socks down once over warmers, you would be suprised how much warmer your legs stay. You would be suprised were those hand warmers fit! Grandma always made me wear plastic bags in my boots, lol, but if I am ice fishing and pulling the auger out of the hole you would be suprised how many times those shoping bags have kept my feet dry and warm. I could go on and on with things like this, lol.

Plastic bags in my boots would make my feet sweat, then they would get chilled faster. I spray my boots with water repellent several times during the winter. I also have 2 liners for my sorels in case one gets wet. I also have a spare pair of boots. I have some chunks of 2 inch foam insulation I am going to take with this winter to get my feet up off the ice.

Wow what a remarkable program. I have discussed this with Stu and we are both in agreement that we would love to start a chapter up here. Stu has donatedhis time and efforts on many other occasions and once again stepped up to the plate. I am waiting to hear if we can work this out with LGF.

My name is Melissa, I am married to Mark (Rippinlip). I have a 10 year old daughter Taylor. I enjoy 4 wheeling, ice fishing,(I probably don't go out fishing as much as my hubby but I do love it when I do go). I'm bowhunting for the first time this year and enjoying that too. I'm new this HSOforum my hubby talked me into it to see if I can make some new friends with the same interests. So I hope I'm doing this right.

      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.

      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.
