A broken flashlight

half a can of the stuff you infalte a flat with

any of the 25 cans or bottles

an unopened box of Mac and Cheese

a cardboard box,

a couple wads of duct tape

a broken tip up

the handle from a ice scraper

two empty chip bags

three empty pop cups

a container from Taco Johns

and my favorite - a [PoorWordUsage] diaper????

If so you can come and get it at my house.

Of course none of you have done this because no FM'er would do such a thing.

Thanks for picking it up. It is amazing what idiots do sometimes. I usually leave a lake with more trash then I make. I really can't understand what people don't pick up after themselves.

Not looking for kudos, just sort of a reminder. What in the h do you need cat litter for out on the lake - getting unstuck? Then why not take the container with you? I used to do this about 20 years ago with my kids. I thought folks had gotten more respectful - maybe they have. I can remember pulling half a truck load of carpet pad up one year back then.

Ya its like all the a holes who leave all the boards and stuff they use to get the perms off the ice out there for snowmobiles and trucks to run into. The ice was totally like a dump today after most of the perms got off the ice. I know a couple guys names and adresses and will be dropping off all the [PoorWordUsage] of theirs I picked up. I will also be notifying the DNR. Some people just dont deserve the privelage to fish.

Dang! You scored all the good stuff befor I could get over there. Should be some excellent trash hunting this week if the snow melts.

I'll be on Lake Independence on Saturday. North Metro Muskie Inc is doing a lake clean up. We're meeting at the access at 11am. Anyone is welcome to help of course.

I'll take the unopened box of Mac & Cheese if nobody else claims it. A couple of questions. Is it with the standard shaped noodles or spirals or wheelies? Easy Mac? Please send pics. Thanks.

Spirals. I'm experimenting with this to see if I can figure out a way to get rid of the line twist.

Oh I agree Hammer Handle, cig butts are the worst mess I see on the lakes.. Takes over 10 years I am told for a cig filter to break down. I choose to smoke now and then, but I have a butt can in my boat and when ice fishing I have one with also. And I really wonder what people are thinking? Nicotine is poisonous, causing dizziness, vomiting, nausea, stomach pain, weakness, drooling and abnormal heartbeat. That just is not what to leave for animals to get a hold of.

Okay I will kick my soap box out of the way now. Kudos to all that pick up the others guys trash.

It takes a long time for all that [PoorWordUsage] to break down. Pleasant i have seen the effects of nicotine on fish, the worst was seeing a school of perch all droolin ;\) sorry i couldnt resist. anyways picking up mine, and others trash is now a common thing i do right before sundown. gets you out, stretch the legs before the real bite goes on. anyways i hear you on these problems and i doubt they are going to get better. I took my girlfriends 11 yr old brother out ice fishing for the first time in his life, and we went around and picked up garbage. He couldnt for the life of him figure out why we were going around picking up other peoples garbage. and then i told him, if were going to come back here some day, it would sure be nice to keep the water clean. ya my soap box is done, im outta here

    • 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.
