Was out ice fishing for cats a couple weeks ago and hooked into one that was really mad. This is what I have to show for it… (MH St. Croix Legend) 14# fireline, Okuma Epixor reel.

Turns out it was… 32.25”

Yesterday while walleye/sauger fishing on Pool 4 I got into something that owned me for about 20 minutes before this 43.5"er was netted. (Hooked in the lips)

A couple hours later my hook got into my first ever shovelnose. 29"er

Just over 20 days left until I target these fish for 4 straight days. I cannot wait.

14# Fireline threw the ice :o, you da man Tyler!

Did not break the line, but the rod. By the way your winter is going I think you just wore that rod out ;). It is not a cheap one to replace, but you are still smile'in :). A true trooper.

Cool report dude cool.gif.

What was funny about that broken rod, I was just in the process of reaching back to get the camera to snap a couple of "fight" pics, when I hear a snap! Without even looking I knew what just happened. Makes for an interesting story, like I told Ty, better than "I accidently stepped on it." Plus, I believe that the rod is still under warranty, and where that rod broke it is definately a manufacture defect. It broke right at the guide, and that means that they wrapped the guides to tight. Anyway, shortly after Ty landed that fish, I caught a 42 1/2 incher.

Not much chance of breaking this rod!! It is meant for lakers, but I use it for channel cats.

Tyler, man you rock. That's one awesome day. I'm gonna have to hire a private investigator to tail you around and report back so I can figure out what you're doing.

I hope to catch a shovelnose this season. That's a nice one.

I actually have set out to catch a shovelnose on purpose on many trips. I've probably logged on 500+ miles in the last 4 years searching this fish. Each time I've come up empty. Just plain bad luck I think.

      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.
