I would stay away from Big Mike's. They are very short with people they aren't familiar with.

I've only been in there a couple times and they've been VERY nice and helpful.

Backwoods bait store is the one on 70 in falun. Also, Oakland store right by the lake has minnows.

You'd be hard pressed to find any useful fishing info at any of these bait shops. Or at any bait shop for that matter. All they do is tell you what they've heard from somebody else that comes in.

The fishing everywhere has been pretty poor so far. Don't be suprised to go days without a flag.

Planning on being on a small local lake early for pike, then hit Yellow later in the afternoon to try for some walleye, maybe stay later for the crappie bite.

Black 4 door Dakota pickup, maybe pulling a small trailer.

Nothing to report for we did horrid.. Moved a few times and found promising areas but could not get anything to bite. Lots of lookers, but no takers. Used spoons, flyers, darters and different jigs. Used live bait, plastics, nothing! The only fish we caught came off a tip up.

Red Ceder the day before was not much better. 4 dink eyes, a pike and a mud puppy. Slow weekend of fishing and frustration..

Ah we'll... Had fun

At least I wasn't the only one. Fished both Saturday and Sunday from 3 pm-7 pm. Never have I done that bad. Only one short walleye caught. Did have two large northerns cut me off, one each day. So if someone catches a northern with a green moon-glo jig on the side of it's mouth, enjoy. But I've never seen so many lookers.

logged close to 30 hrs of ice time on 4 bodies of water.pathedic is the nicest word i can use to describe fishing.couldnt really find a pattern when nothing bite.sat on 5ft wall of crappies for couple hours and caught three.shallow or deep didnt really matter.small shiners on flags did best,

Fishing is downright awful right now in the area. A friend of mine has a wheelhouse and logged 42 straight hours on the lake this weekend. He caught a 17 inch walleye and a 20 inch northern the entire time. It's been the same report from others as well. There has been a night/two with a little flurry of activity but it's been few and far between.

Hey Guys -

New to the board and spent the last few hours reading and enjoying the back posts. My family has a cabin in Danbury and I've spent the last 27 years fishing Yellow Lake (specifically musky), so I'll be glad to provide any advice I can and looking forward to learning new tips. Haven't made it up ice fishing this year but I'll be up this weekend. Planning on fishing the home lake Saturday morning and heading to Yellow in the afternoon. I'll be in a Clam Bigfoot out of Ike Walton's if anyone wants to stop in and say hi.

Nice to meet you all -

Vic

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • 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.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • 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.
    • 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.
