Sorta Fishing Related


FishRecycler

Recommended Posts

I'm going to be in Minneapolis meeting with the Recycled Fish board of directors next weekend (3/29-3/30). We have a lot of business to attend to, but wanted to do SOMETHING fun and fishing-related while we're in town.

Even if it's not fishing, thoughts on something to do? Does Normark do any kind of a Rapala factory tour? I didn't find anything like that on their HSOforum, but had heard about it from someone who is in the industry (maybe tours are just for industry folks?) You guys have any kind of a freswater fish museum? Any open water opportunities in the metro next week? Safe ice?

All but one of us is coming from out of town, looking for a couple-hour thing to break up our day so it's not all conference room time...

Thoughts welcome!

Welcome to FM. Not sure if you've been to a cabeleas, but they are always worth checking out. There's a new one in Rogers and it's not that bad of a drive from MPS. I'll let you know if I think of anything else.

Interesting HSOforum, FishRecycler. Check out Cabela's or the Mall of America. I know you have a Bass Pro Shops in Council Bluffs, which I like better than Cabela's, but definitely worth checking out. There's also one in Owatonna if you're driving up.

Little falls just north of the cities has a freshwater museum Old Motors, Rod & reel, baits etc.Fun to see some REALLY old equipment.I think it may also be Mn,s freshwater hall of fame? Not sure tho.

I think Cabelas has one of their biggest store in Omaha??Lincoln,C.B.That could be oldhat for him.

Alot of rivers open all around the area. Fishing should be very good all around. Some of the area lakes are still walkable and you may be able to find some nice panfish. should be alittle warmer and maybe all the snow gone by then... but you never now around here.

Hey, guys - thanks for the thoughts.

Cabela's is one of our sponsors, so we're pretty familiar with their stores, but you guys do have some nice ones up there!

That freshwater museum could be just the ticket - we'll look into it. If we can spare a little more time, we'll put rods in the water on one of those rivers. I doubt I'm gonna get these guys out for the late ice bite, although I personally LOVE ice fishing!

Again, thanks for the ideas.

Teeg,

Let me know if you're interested in some guided fishing one of those days (or both). I have been doing really well on the river in the twin cities metro area. Good numbers of walleye and sauger, and a half dozen or so walleye 8 pounds or more. We boated a 12 pounder last Friday. Could be a good diversion for you guys?!

    • 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.
