Still haven't fished for anything but crappies yet this year.  Had limited time on the water Saturday and Sunday with the weather and other distractions, and could not find them in my usual spots.  Yesterday though was different.  

Love crappie fishing in calm water.  Slid quietly into a cabbage flat and you could see the surface activity of feeding crappies. This is my favorite way to fish, casting small jigs into visible activity.  In just a couple hours, I kept a dozen 11 - 13 inchers and released that many more smaller fish.  A great end to the weekend. 

From reports I've heard, walleye fishing is picking up and a few muskies were seen this weekend.  Lots of sunfish also being taken with small leeches up in the weeds.

How has the fishing been on yellow lately, I am heading up tonight and will be hitting the water tomorrow morning. I was thinking about tying big McKenzie tomorrow but I haven't made up my mind yet.

I was up yesterday.  Too windy today for me.  

The bite has been tough.  Walleyes are deep, 17 - 20+ feet.  

Nice gills are being taken by those who move around to find them.  Deeper cabbage seems to be key right now.

We had a period in August where the wind wasn't too bad but since sturgeon opened there's been a weekly pattern of fronts coming through on Thursday/Friday and Saturday is WINDY then on Sunday when you're going home it's beautiful. Today and yesterday are no exception either. Although the forecast for this weekend seems to be nice. 

 

With sturgeon coming to an end on Friday I'll probably be fishing muskies. Darn! :grin:

Completely garbage. I've caught 6 sturgeon this season. My average by now is around 14 fish. Lots of skunk days before finally pinning one. I only know of a select few people that have done any good. I don't know why they're so hard to find this year. One day around the middle of the month I drove around for two solid hours until I finally marked a few fish that MIGHT have been sturgeon. 

 

It's very frustrating to say the least.

Last weekend we had 59-61 degree water temps. Muskie fishing was completely dead to say the least. Moved nothing all day on Saturday. I'm blaming the extreme high pressure and bluebird skies for that.... LOL

I'll be closing down the camper next weekend so not much fishing (if any at all) will be done. Before we know it there'll ice reports on here. :crazy:

Went there Friday for sturgeon. One bite and no hookup. Another nearby boat got 2 little guys, but nothing worthwhile. One guy at the launch said they tagged a small muskie. Also the forecast for 5 MPH winds was way off, it stayed quite windy the entire day.

Pretty much all of Sept. has been that way. Stupid wind just would not let up. 

 

I'm just trying to figure out why there was such a lack of sturgeon activity this season. I just can't figure it out.

Since we gave up our seasonal this spring, I didn't get up much this year.  From all reports walleye fishing was also VERY slow and spotty this year.  Lucky for me the spring crappies were as good as ever (my favorite thing to do).  Hoping this winter proves to be another good one.

I've heard this too, Don. I caught some pulling cranks in May but a lot of 12"-14" fish. The crappies though, I didn't do as well on. As soon as muskie opened that's all I did. This year was okay for the 'skies. Nice to see some numbers of 28"-34" fish like there is now.

Closed up the trailer on Saturday. Only was up for the day so no fishing was done. Saw some muskie and walleye boats out there and that was about it. I might make a trip or two up there this fall for muskie otherwise the next thing I'll be posting about is ice reports. 

Good luck guys

Been pretty dead here lately. I'm contemplating another muskie trip up there this fall but between Minnetonka and Mill Lacs I'm not sure where it'll fit in. 

 

Anyone been out lately? What are water temps.? Should be right around or just after turnover....

    • 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.
