hope you ladies don't mind me invading your forum, but i just read a good tip in the "Bass Master" mag.

instead of thowing those address labels you get with your new checks away; take some of them and place one on each of your rods. then cover with a clear plastic tape for protection. just in case! grin.gif

Week of 4/01/08

With all the talk of open water and boat prep, let's not forget we still have some good ice fishing left! With the warmer temps, melting ice and snow gives a lake some fresh water and it can really rejuvenate fish. The thinning ice gives the weeds a chance to receive light and make oxygen making fish more active also. So don't pack up your jiggle sticks yet-get out there and fish!

Hey glenn! Are you heading up north? Good luck, be careful and HAVE FUN!! We have the 2nd Annual Swap Meet in Twig this Saturday and I have a huge test coming up this week. I have to get extra lab time in so no fishing for me this weekend (I'm still doing really well! Yay me!). I think Jim may hit the North Shore rivers though for loopers.

Hey Lisa,

I haven't checked in for a while but was reading through the fishing tips from you and Tami. Great ideas! I too am curious about where you got your ledger. I keep track hap-hazardly during the summer. Can't wait for the ice to melt and the soft water fishing tips \:\)

Ok, so I bought an In-Fisherman a couple days ago and it's such a great magazine to get a person revved up for open water walleyes! I'm going to be trying more plastics this year. Not that I'm totally swearing off the spot tail shiners but they have some great artifials like Gulp, Gulp Alive and Slurpies that look yummy AND deadly. I'll let you know how I do! cool.gif

I use ALOT of plastics for open water ( leeches are my next fav. )

"My go to" - is - - And I can catch most anything with this, but its deadly for Bass, both lg and smallies, - is a Berkley PowerBait 7" Ribbontail Power Worm - Pumpkin / Chartruesse. Texas rigged on a # 8 red hook. grin.gif

I love plastics for open water.

You can figure out some of a lakes underwater features by observing the shoreline and surrounding topographical features. If the shore is sandy or rocky, it's likely that the bottom of the water nearby will be similar. When the land declines steeply to the water, the lake there will drop off sharply into deep water. Where the shore has a gradual slope, the lake near the shore will be likewise.

Ok weather tips: The severe weather season is upon us, it is very important to be aware of the weather around you. An excerpt from NOAA on lightning:

"In the United States, an average of 62 people are killed each year by lightning. In 2007, 45 people were struck and killed by lighting in the U.S.; hundreds of others were injured. Of the victims who were killed by lightning:

* 98% were outside

* 89% were male

* 30% were males between the ages of 20-25

* 25% were standing under a tree

* 25% occurred on or near the water"

Lightning can strike from a storm as far as 10 miles away,but high winds can also be a danger. Many storms can have downbursts that can be 60-100 mph. Hail is another danger along with the possibilities of tornadoes. A wise fisherperson should carry a portable radio and be aware of the forecast before you go out. We were fishing on Ice Cracking one year when we saw a bank of clouds coming over the trees,my husband said we should go in. I said it doesn't look that bad but he insisted and we headed in. We barely made it to shore before the skies turned very nasty looking and we were hit by a large gust front, then severe lightning, hail and rain. If we had waited another 10 minutes we would have still been out on the lake when it hit.

Be safe, be aware and know the conditions before you head out. laugh

Don't wait for the perfect day, - the right temp, a falling barometer, no rain, just enough cloud cover - get out and enjoy any opportunity you get.

Get on the water - find your spot - set the hook - and reel em in -

Happy summer fishing to all - - - smile

      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.

      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.
