Bowfishing reports

Thought we could use this thresd to post our results, water temps, and what kind of places everyone found fish. I will be checking some creeks today if the weather holds out.

I checked 2 spots today. Water was very cold in both. Waders only, no boat. No fish in the rum river backwater. Missed a dogfish and bagged a 22" white sucker from a local lake.

No carp, to cold mabe.

Hit some local creeks in the far south metro today and shot 4 small carp, took alot of shots but was a little rusty being it was my first outing of the year. Hopefully there will be less wind next weekend so i can get the boat out

Just got in, shot about 25-30. Biggest was about 25-30 pnds. I think there just coming in to spawn. Most of them were full of eggs. Saw some spawning activity in one real small bay.

Saw some movement @ luch time. 4 in the bag. Wake hunting mostly, just feeding and sunning, no spawning activity as yet.

Smallest male = 6lbs Biggest female 18lbs.

Not bad for an hours lunch.

Anyone pay attention to water temps while they are out. Last time I tried I found 48 degrees. Going to try some smaller shallower lakes today. I would love to shoot on the MN river but it it always too dirty. Maybe If I get way up some of the creeks?

Went to visit my family in the cities this weekend. Dad played hooky Monday so we decided to try our secret honey hole. Shot 13 carp in quick order. Had four go 30 pounds or bigger with the largest at 36. The rest were between 10 and 26 pounds. Not a bad day for the first day on the water. Can't wait to get back out!

Oh yeah, got out for a little while from shore today. I took a few shots at small buffalo and suckers. I only saw one carp. Should get better by the weekend. All my good spots are too cold or too muddy.

    • 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.
