All set guys order is in. Allison will ship first thing Monday and will have them Wednesday. Guys ordering waxworms they will come in tubs of 250 ea. She will call me with the total with shipping on Monday morning. Right now I will probably head out to Todd's Wednesday to make a drop so if you guys want to get together with Todd Wednesday or Thursday to pick up.

Todd if it's o.k. with you I'll leave Dougs, Chris's and Sammy's order with you.

I'll take care of the rest of the guys local or on the next ice trip whatever you want to do..

Sammy we use white spikes. Colored possibly for tourneys but the white are so much hardier than the colored ones. The dye that euro's eat just shortens there life in my experience.

Guys going by the HSOforum not including shipping.

Tim - $25

Todd - $47

Z - $9

Craig- $9

Tuzzy- $9

Doug - $23

Chris- $23

Ray - $9

Frank- $23

Bruce- $9

Jimmy- $9

Kyle - $9

Sammy- $23

I asked for a pro staff break but I guess they receive quite a few requests. Allison said she would check to see what she can do but it sounded doubtful. It never hurts to ask anyway..

I am teaching my last Lab of the Semester that night crazy...If Kirkville/Chris/DoeA$$ might possibly grab mine and meet me on his way back through at the Restaurant to pick up the Jakester...I would be obliged...BTW Kirkville...I thought you were getting out early on Monday to hit my back 150 for Whitetails?

Timmy...THANK YOU for the bait...BTW, I don't understand your logic fully on the Colored Maggots confused...what does the Tourney's have to do with colored bait???

What...fish don't bite colored maggots unless they know a Tourney is going on?????

Thursday is O.K. with me guys.

Doug - the logic is bang for the buck on the spikes. Colored ones never last long, that's my experience with them maybe someone else has had better luck with the colored ones than I. If anyone has had colored spikes that lasted from the start of ice to 3 weeks into the open water crappie season I would like to hear from them. I only used em in tournaments so that is my only experience with them. I'm sure the pannies would love colored ones as well or better in some situations.

Tim,

A few years back I got a mess of the colored ones from Vados. Three colors if I recall correctly. They held up well. I bit more temp sensitive outside of fishing temps. Warming seemed to shorten the life span a lot. Had to change the media more and I added some food as directed but they lasted pretty long. NOT close to as long as naturals though. Did better than mousies though. Although, I've got a lot of fish on mousies for some reason. Did color seem to matter? I tried my own little test that year and IF it did, it wasn't much of a difference. Just my 2 cents.

Timmy...some of the best things in life are "Short Lived"

I still don't understand...can you only get them in volume confused

If I know you correct, nothing stands in your way(even money)...so, if you say not to bother...than I am listening cool

Doug - Yes you can get them in volume. We have fished white only so many years that i don't think it makes a significant differnce particularly for gills and crappies, white spikes or plastics work, right jig, presentation, you know the drill. Deepwater perch on a negative bite maybe color makes a hair of a difference but we have used white for years and I'm not changing. Sure I'd like to see a study to see if it made a statistical difference for tournament fishing but not for the recreational catch and release most of us do. But I think there's to many other factors and variables to consider other than the color of the bait. Take Todd he fishes hair jigs and with no bait at times and he slings better than most. Like Jay and I say it's the guy behind the trigger, bait is just there to provide scent as fars I am concerned. Good discussion that's for sure. Dark Cloud will weigh in too after he get's back from gander..

    • 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
    • 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.
