pretty slow weekend, but sunday afternoon i decided to make a move if nothing was seen within 45 minutes.

saw 7 more nice ones on the camera, but i was trying minnows or minnow parts at the time and they weren't interested.

the one closest to the auger was a fat 13"

We managed 7 keepers on Mille Lacs Sunday, we only fished for a couple hours, really had to work them into biting, they were all over on the screen but not really interested in biting. A couple were really nice. Then we headed to a crappiesunfish bite for the afternoon and did pretty poor on a lake near Baxter.

As the case is always you guys should have been there a day or two earlier. On Friday my brother and I went up and things started out slow with only two 9 inchers being caught in two hours. Then in the next two hours we picked up four in the 10 1/2 to 11 1/2 inch range. At about 11:00 I had all I could do to keep my lines in the water for roughly 10 to 15 minutes as I caught 12 perch right around 11 inches then my lines got tangled and by the time I got them back down the bite for the most part was all over. In that time I tried yelling at my brother to drill holes near me, due to the immense wind that day he never heard a word and all he could muster was a lonely 11 incher. When he came to check on me later he could not believe what he saw in my bucket he was within 30 yards or so and had one bite. The rest of the day we managed a few more and then at 4:30 everything seemed to shut down as far as biters go. For the day we actually only managed 30 perch but, 23 of them were over the 10 1/2inch mark with the rest being 9 incher and little under 9.

    • 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
    • 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.
