Favorite fish to target through the ice?

I like to eat fish so I'm not picky. I have yet to catch a pike through the ice so I think that would be fun and it's been a few years since I got in some eyes. Hopefully my trip to Red will help me out on that. Pannies, love to catch, but would love to really go after eyes and pike.

ITs is SO true! Once you tie into a laker you will wonder how you've never heard of it. It is so exhilarating and you're fighting such a mighty fish on a 3ft pole. Also the possibility to catch a 10+lb'r is all the more rush you need.

1. Crappies

2. Sunnies

3. Lake Trout (by far the most fun)

Hey Powerstroke, I've been trying to find them (Crappies) out on Tonka too, but have had no luck. I have been able to find some decent Walleyes out there. If you're ever interested in joining me, let me know. I kind of gave up on the lakes around EP, since I wasn't having much luck and they seem to be fished pretty hard.

Good Luck,

Curtis

Walleyes ( big ones ) sure are fun, but crappies hold a special place in my heart. Pulling a fighting, 11" crappie through the hole ranks right up there!! grin.gif

Headed to the BBash this weekend for some Lakers and from what I've been told, my list may completely change by next week \:o

thanks for all the responses so far, i just thought it would be cool to see what everyone liked targeting the most. Especially because i will soon be able to have many more opportunities to target different species because i will be getting my licence in less than a month. grin.gif

      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.
