Teresa - bring the pop-up if you want. However, I do have that big tent with plenty of room. So, if you don't want to pull that thing all the way up there, you and Muskybait can stay in my tent (no cats allowed though - sorry :()

Hey gals! Just got done at the nursing home and noticed that Lake Osakis is the lake of the week in the Outdoor News. A local bait shot owner says that walleye anglers should fish sharp drops with GOLD spinner rigs in 14-20 FOW. Some good spots to try are sand flats near the middle of the lake and Bower's Bar near the S. Shore. It didn't say a lot about crappies except that they're popular for icefisherpeople.

I guess if I could actually go cry I would maybe try that north arm though. Looks very interesting in there! smile

Oh sure, it would have to be. Now the lake will be crawling with all those men searching for walleyes. Any good Mexican places close by, I feel a margarita coming on!

I just spent the evening with my youngest neice and nephew. Clair is 1 1/2 and jack is 4, boy did they keep me busy. I can not wait for next weekend. Work has been so slow and my boss and I are worried which makes for a stressful work week. I am going to try and get to a local lake tomorrow just to get a line wet and de-stress. If I did drink I would say have the drinks ready for when I get up there, but since I don't get ready to fish your butts off. I can not wait to be goofy with the girls like last time, but no dead fish pictures this time(wink, wink)

Hope

Oh Tami - you need to talk her into it. It's not all about fishing. You are bringing the yaks right? I would like to learn - I think it would be great fun.

I could bring an innertube to pull behind the boat. Oh I have an idea - while we fish, Donna can ride in the innertube behind the boat and read a book. laugh

Seriously though - the more the merrier!!! smile

    • 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
    • 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.
