It is the annual magazine put out by In-Fisherman with all the latest and greatest gear from all the manufacturers. I picked mine up at Barns and Noble on break today. Some cool stuff in there, but you can see most of the info on the products here on FM.

One thing I saw in there that will be a hot item this year is the new heater from MrHeater. It is called the Base Camp. Small portable heater, bigger and more powerful than a Coleman SportCat but still has the low O2 sensors and what not like the Buddy heaters have. How well they work has yet to be seen, but it looks pretty slick.

Stupid question, but what's in the Ice fishing guide?

Every year about now In-Fisherman puts out a magazine for just ice fishing. There is tips, product reviews and places to try. Reed's almost always has a 20-30 page flyer in with it as well. It semms to be a good place to see what is new in the industry for the year and there only seems to be a limited supply of the issues printed every year. Also, there is usually a coupon for $1 or so off the admisson to the ice show at the Xcel in December.

I thought the articles were far too short, and filled with things we have discussed on this board thousands of times before.

For all the talk of "The new age of ice fishing" this years in fisherman ice guide was same old same old.

The magazine read like an infomercial.

Let's be honest here. Many posts on this site are infomercials as well. No matter what you read be it in a magazine or forum, your going to get biased opinions. It is up to the reader to gather as much info about a certain technique or tackle before they make any decisions. Although I value the opinions of moderators, pro-staffers and columnist, I take them only as a guide in my decision process. I would much rather spend the afternoon with someone who has a product or first hand knowledge on a particular technique that I am interested in. Then with all that information you can make a confident decision. It seems that relying on one person or source to look out for your best interest is not wise. It’s all about the dollar. Spend yours wisely.

      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.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      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.

      Problems with Yetti

      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.
