Hi Guys,

I haven't been logged in for some time now, but Early Riser mentioned to me that this thread was going on... I know that he and I are both interested, and I have to beleive that Jeff P (and maybe his Dad) would also be interested.

Now that Stiff is back I guess it is time again to get things rolling on the spearing form! What has everybody else been doing? I have had a notion to build a permanent darkhouse this fall to set out on my local lake for convienience sake on those real windy days. I wonder if hunting and other projects will delay this dream yet another year?

I hope that I am fortunate enough to participate in this event. It is going to be a great opportunity to get together to compare techniques, learn from others and swap some stories. Thanks for working to set something up BnS. I will start looking at my schedule as soon as you propose a few weekend possibilities in early January. I like the idea of mid-winter spearing trip for some variety and adventure.

Hey guys-

Sign me up for the Winni trip! Sounds awesome. We could spear during the day, then try for walleye in the evening. I just checked the closet and the orange "pumpkin" hat is ready to go.

I've been traveling a lot for work, but things should slow down in October and I'll be home (with computer access) and back here pestering you guys later in the fall.

Ps If we get a cabin, save the big bed for me.

Ok, this is what im looking at.

High Banks is closed till Jan, and i have a feeling that everyone is going to be very busy after the 1st of the year, and i think its best that we go up there in Dec, that way its still early, and we dont have a ton of ice.

I was thinking of Dec 12-14.

What does everyone else think?

    • 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.
