So my two brothers, myself and brother-in-law are headed to Winnie this week for some fishing and bragging and probably a little boozing...not necessarily in that order! \:D

I get a little bored with the usual first fish, biggest fish bet so does anyone have any fun bets or games that they play to provide bragging rights to the best catcher?

I was on a trip to Lac Seul for walleyes this fall and we came up with a "Pike Penalty Pot". Whoever caught the most pike owed $5 to all the other guys. The pike didn't need to be landed, a confirmed sighting in the water was enough to count. It turned out to be really fun, every time someone got a big fish or one that was really thumping all the other guys started cheering for it to be a pike.

You could do something like that with pike, pout, and/or tullibees on Winnie. You might need to combine them all into 1 contest since it doesn't seem like you get too many of those fish on Winnie.

Hope you have a fun trip.

Myself and a group of about 8-12 others go on a Mille Lacs launch trip every summer. The last few years we have made it that the person who catches the biggest fish has to plan the trip next year. No one really cares to be the planner so it makes you think twice about wanting to catch the BIG one.

Aside from the typical first/biggest/most bets or usually first/biggest/most throw back in hole or the first/most lost fish in the hole bets. Not all wins are good for the winner. LOL's.

The No Flasher usage bet.

The no live bait usage bet. (Artificails only bet).

Jigs only bet.

Spoons only bet.

Chubby darter bet - well not yet because some of them refuse to spend $$$$ for those lures. LOL's

Fish poker was fun up on Red last year. Everyone gets a card to start the day then you earn cards by biggest fish in each species, first fish of the day, and when ever you catch a new species. Things like that, however you want to do it. Just don't drink to much and leave your cards out while your sleeping for your buddies \:\)

      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.

      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.
