My 3 YO son and I broke in the new permanent fish house yesterday during our first day in it. Got a late start and had our first (and only) visitor of the day at about noon.

I had spend the previous hour instructing him how to run the decoy. No that's too fast, no that's too jerky, no that's too high, no that's too low. Ok, thats just right. The fish came in 30 seconds later!

He got to see it all happen while operating the decoy, and the fact that the fish came in just as he was getting it right hopefully will reinforce that patience and process will lead to a successful day on the ice.

I have another spot. That's shallower have not tried I think will be good. There is a bunch of houses around the area. I looked on a map found this spot on a 6000 acre lake and no one for a few hundre

Good job getting her in! I am glad she didn't slip away from you Slurpie. It sure is a good idea to have a backup spear in the house.  in a clear lake it is sometimes hard to target a weed line i

merkman do you have any problem with fish being skittish when shoveling away the snow from the house?

Yes they were very skittish today.

Even the perch were freaking out.

I am going to shovel some more snow over it tomorrow if it froze enough.

It was froze enough today to walk on but there was still water between the froze over part and the top of the ice.

Right now it is a catch 22.

You have to get the snow off so the ice will refreeze but then the fish freak out.

Ahh, the joys of spearing.

We keep seeing bull sunfish one by one marching by, a few perch today, and a spaz 6" bass that went nuts in the hole then got caught up in the weeds, but no northerns today.

I am hoping tomorrow is the day they will be moving.

Got a little dusting of snow today and that helped the skitishness out some.

All species of fish were moving today.

A bullhead even came up and peeke in the hole.

He was cruzin right under the ice then came up and it almost looked like he took a gulp of air then swam off.

I told my brother if he would have had the ice scoop we could have had a free decoy!!!

My brother did stick a very nice 26.5"er today.

Maybe just a tish big for an eater but a real nice fish.

He guessed it to be about a 21 incher in the hole (it looked small from the top) after we got it out and measured it, it was 26.5"

Got it all filleted up and still deciding how to prepare it.

I am thinking I want to try boiled with white sauce but I have never tried that before.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      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

      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

      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.
