Last weekend I heard of a few folks trying to get out of Bark Bay with no luck.. Last week the marina was still chuck full of ice in Corny.. Could be open now though with the creeks being high and the water drowning the ice..

I took the tour today and here is my report:

I think you could get a boat in today at Port Wing but I dont know what it will be like tomorrow because there was some 2-4 foot ice chunks floating around. Bark bay was full of floating chunks of ice corny and sand bay had open water in sight but the landings were still locked in with ice. Around the islands was still locked in with some dark looking ice and accesses were still frozen in but the ferry was up and running so there was a little open water out there.

Worst time of year.

Too late to ice fish.

Too early to get a boat out.

Maybe I will hit the Brule this week before or after work.

All my ice fishing gear is stored as I thought spring was arriving.

      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.
