I am going up to Gull this upcoming weekend with the wife, I want to sneak out and try to pull up some crappies. Is there anything that I should be worried about with DNR, if I accidently pull up a walleye I can release it and have no consequence correct? I do realize that I cant fish for these species, but what happens if one is pulled up accidentally? Thanks for your help.

No such thing as a dumb question when it comes to clarifying a regulation question.All kinds of game fish get caught on panfish and perch tackle, after the regular season closes.The late ice season is fast approaching. All fish will be on the move,and putting on the feedbag.Immediate release of caught gamefish, as was already posted, will be the thing to do to be legal.

A DNR officer told a friend of mine with regards to closed season fish that if what you're throwing catches more than a couple non-targeted fish to change it up. This was in regards to catching smallies while fishing for trout. I don't think I would worry about it too much though.

This is what is was thinking also.

For perch up on ML, I would be dropping smaller buckshot spoons, so the possibility for an EYE is good. However on a local bowl lake to be throwing down the same tackle would seem kind of rediculous. I would imagine the CO might think the same thing...it might depend on the lake your are fishing.

I would think most CO's are going to use reasonable discretion as to how blatant a fisherperson's tackle or presentation is before they start writing a ticket for catching a specific species out of season.Like already mentioned,it really depends on which body of water the fish is/are being caught on.

You shouldn't have anything to worry about. On many lakes you can find walleyes and crappies over the same spots/water and catching one while in pursuit of the other.

I have another question to add: I am taking my son fishing for perch on Mille Lacs on Friday and if he were to catch a walleye, would it be legal to take a photo of him with it?? I think the regulations say "release immediately"??

I know at least for slot fish in season it has been made OK as of last year to snap a photo and release. I am not sure if that includes out of season or not. Of course if the DNR sees your camera has several walleye shots on it from after the season you're in trouble. One may slide.

Provisions are now in place in the regulations to allow you to snap a photo of an "immediate release" fish. I caught a five pound bass on a 1/16 oz. flu-flu last year fishing for early spring crappies. You bet your jigging stick I got a picture of it before it hit the water.

This was always the source of heated discussions on the forums before. The way it was worded before you couldn't even snap a photo of a muskie you caught because the regs said "immediate release".

While perch fishing last March on Mille Lacs we were really hammering the perch and the 3 of us caught about 4 walleyes. What do you do. Throw them back down the hole and catch some more perch!

      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.
