That's good to hear Shack.

I'm not worried about the monkey, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't worried about softshell Eddie and his Shenanigans. grin

This should be a fun time and I'm looking forward to it.

I probably won't be there. We are running the karts this weekend ( they moved it up a week) , plus 3 of them have new engines. Even the Stock Car gets a new heartbeat this week and I can't miss that if there are issues.

I would like to go, but I will be up in Mille Lacs saturday, if I get home early enough I will try to make it, but I dont forsee me being home during daylight hours.

I believe the monkey was last seen tied to DTRO's trailer winch.

I am glad to be rid of that thing for a while.

I assume we are planning to have dinner at the park by the launch......

Do we have a grill, etc.??

Just let me know if I need to bring anything.

We went out last night and got 4 fish in the Carver area. I would say that the bite is picking back up as I type.

There have been a few big fish caught in the last week or so.

I would guess that the this weekend is the turning point.

If we get enough guys to cover some spots well, we will catch some fish.

yep, I agree maybe not everyone will catch a big one, but there is a good chance for several with a couple nice ones mixed in.

Also wanted to mention the water level. Looks like it should come down another foot or so by Sat. There are some definate areas of concern, but not impassable. For anyone that might be running a boat in this area for the first time, be sure to ask about these areas of concern and we will point them out.

I found a gravel hump of 1.2ft by accident last night. I was due for a little prop shine anyways grin

Thanks guys, I'll be running my boat down there for the first time. Aceinthehole with be with me so that should help. We'll have to keep around you so I don't knock anyone out of the boat though. Would be nice to catch some biggin's but just catchin a few is good or even one. I more want my Dad to catch some. If he got into a 10 or 15lb I think that would be his biggest ever. I don't know that he's got much fishing time left in him, but what he's got, I want to get him on fish and meet some of the poeple that are great to hang out with on this site and just have a good time.

Thanks for putting this together. Look forward to meeting you all and seeing others again.

Sounds as if Aanderud may have a surprise guest of his own.

I met him once.....very loud and obnoxious grin

Maybe loud, but definitely worth it. We put 20 lbs of potatos through the spudzookas last weekend. I'm pretty stoked because this new one holds about 3x as much air in the accumulator resovoir, PLUS it has a catfish logo on it. You can't go wrong with random catfish stickers on things.

    • 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.
