A buddy of mine just called me this weekend and sent me these pictures....Crazy. He was in town on business in Green Bay and did some shore fishing on the Fox River and just annihilated the walleyes. His boss helped set up the trip and I guess the flow and timing seems to come about every three years or so...Well it absolutely peak for about 3-4 days this past weekend. Just look at some of these slob fish!

Those are some beauty queens. I think he told me the smallest they caught was 17", and they caught fish on almost every cast. A bunch of 30". Might want to put this date into the calendar for next year!

Notice the power plant in the background, it keeps the water so much warmer than other parts. I saw a fishing show where they were fishing a powerplant outflow. They dropped down a camera and you couldn't see 10 feet because there were so many fish. It's like every fish within 20 miles of the plant flock to that one spot to stay warmer.

Im originally from oshkosh, so i know all about those walleyes. I know exactly the spot where you guys were standing! The largest one ive seen pulled outta there was by my buddy Randi. It was 32 inches, and 13 pounds plus. It didnt even look REAL. 30 inchers are not uncommon there... As a matter of fact, I believe that area of the river ( FOX RIVER) the walleyes have to be either 26 or 28 inches to even keep. thats due the the background of those photos. The amount of mercury in there is unsafe for eating. So its trophy only. Im definitely gonna try and make a weekend there next year with a guy i know up here in MN. Im sure he will be game. Wont fill my freezer, but it could most definitely fill up some of my empty wall space!!! ill email Rando tonight and see if he can send a pic of that one he pulled outta there,, maybe even a few others....

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      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

      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.

      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.
