I am available the weekend of the 12th of December for Winnibigosh. I will likely be bringing our two boys as well. Let us know what you find out BnS.

If people end up scattered at different resorts we could have a central meeting place in the morning and then again in the afternoon on Saturday.

I have a few e-mails in to some places around there.

We will see what they come up with.

I will post the info here as it comes in.

This sounds like a blast.

I am sure either BNS or Elwood can make this happen!!!

I may have some spearer’s coming from the International Falls/Baudette area too.

I sent an emai; to Pat at Dennys resort so I hope to here from him soon . I know that he has a motell and cabins but I'm not sure if his cabins are open in the winter and I have stayed at the motel while ice fishing up there.

I dont think Dennys has spear houses for rent but I'LL be the first to admit that I have been wrong before grin

What do you guys think of this?

we can always do something closer to home where people can drive to a few different lakes over the course of the 2 days as well if we wanted to.

That way we dont have to spend the money to stay, and we all get to go to different lakes.

I'll go anywhere theres ice and can spear.sounds like a good alternet plan BNS now what lakes are we going to go to.

I could possibly get the cabin that I deer hunt at. Its in longville but its not a huge place but it would probally hold 6 guys but would need some cots for sleeping.

im just thinking for the cost that we would have into it, being that we all live some what close to the metro, we can hit a few metro lakes for 2-3 days in a row, and see what happens. Make it right for everyone, where to hit a northmetro, then west metro or whatever.

What you all think?

That sounds good.

Make it happen.

I do know this year I am taking a whole week between Christmas and new years off from work and I am going on a MN spearing tour.

I will leave Dec 26 and be spearing straight though Jan 4

I plan to hit lakes from LOW & Rainy all the way down to the metro.

So any thing in that time frame prob won't work for me.

BNS the metro thing sounds great to me. now lets figure out what date and lakes I'm so fired up and I'm just about done with my new shack. I'll have pics after this weekend.

I will have the 8 X 8 portable with an extra spear hole.

You are more than welcome to come.... as long as you cut your own hole. lol

    • 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.
