Hey Jim-

Good question, Hunting has just started but ice fishing is just around the corner, hummmm?

It's too hard to pick just one, so here's a few.....Early ice walleye tactics, anything that has to do with big lakers sounds fun, smallies through the ice, a spearing webcast might be sweet, superior salmon/steelies/loopers in the duluth area (if we ever get enough ice), a serious pout mission, tip-ups for big pike, monster cats through the ice-doh! now I've got the bug come on ice!!!!

I would really like to see some tips on searching for fish, from discerning potential spots on a lake map, to searching for fish and setting up on them. How to use electronics better to read the lake and catch fish.

Some stuff on lakers, tip ups for pike. Particularly how to best take advantage of a piece of structure. If it is just you, or 2 guys, 3 etc.

I second the how to read a map and start a gameplan. To me nothing is more intimidating/frustrating than hitting a new lake that you hear great things about but not really knowing how to set out a gameplan for fishing that lake I've never been to.

I wouldn't mind some tips on panfish, especially when to use what tactics, and where to use them. Also where to find panfish throughout the year.

In fact, I wouldn't mind learning about the locations of ALL fish species throughout the season, because that's probably my biggest general problem in ice fishing, I'm not sure where to go a lot of the time.

As far as specifics, I wouldn't mind seeing just a Tips and Tricks episode, where we get shown how to fine tune gear, little ideas and things that people've thought up to help out the process, that kind of thing.

I'd love to see a tip up fishing video for pike, but I think that might be a little cliche', there're a lot out there, and there's not much material for a whole episode.

I think panfish'd be the best, because they're the most common in the state, and easiest to fish for.

A video that shows the people what the bottom looks like through a underwater camera and then what it looks like on their Vex, Marcum, Lowrance or whatever flasher they use. have several different areas and bottom content and show them what it looks like on both. I dont think most people really know what bottom looks like on a graph or flasher.

    • 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.
