Questions????


Recommended Posts

I will be coming out to the Appleton area next week for work. I will be there for six weeks. Have a ton of questions, don't want to see my ice season end just yet.

1. How much is an out of state license?

2. What are ice conditions like around Appleton?

3. Are there any good Walleye or Crappie lakes in the area?

I have never even been in that area before so any answers would be greatly appreciated.

Pwaldow:

Can only answer your license question, not knowing anything about Appleton.

Nonresident individual season: $34
Nonresident 4-day individual: $15
Nonresident 15-day individual: $20
Annual inland trout stamp (resident and non-resident): $7.25

No shelter license is needed for ice fishing. No name and address are required on the shelter, either.

Good luck!

Anyone else help out Pwaldow on specific Appleton area info?

I was born and raised in Wi(Hayward area). I now live in the cities. I have fished on Lake Poygan/Lake Winneconne.Its in Waushara and Winnebago Counties. Its a shallow lake with little structure. Its over 14,000 acres. with a max depth of 12ft. I suggest getting a fishing hotspots map of it.I have one if you would like to borrow it.
Another lake to consider is Lake Winnebago. Its alot like Mille lacs. Very large and fairly shallow. Im sure there are alot of other lakes in the area as well. Good luck.

P.S. This is Jim. The guy you were going to help with the garmin 12 gps. I hope this helps you out. If you have anymore questions you can e-mail me at: [email protected]

Hey Paul, you better watch out. After spending that much time in WI, you may be called a cheesehead when you get back. I lived in the Appleton area for a few years and know the area. I sill make it out that way a few times each year. Are you leaving next week for sure, and are you going to be gone for six weeks or longer? The reason I am asking is because the end of March and the begining of April can produce some awesome open water walleye fishing in the rivers. I can talk to some friends and get you some current information. Better yet, get me a job out there and I can show you around myself. wink.gif

Adam,

There's no way that I will ever be called a cheesehead grin.gif. Sounds like I may want to stay a while longer to get in some good fsihing, but that's not possible.

Doesn't anyone that frequents this board have any info on Lake Winebago???????????

Door County is only an hour or two away. Egg Harbor is one of my favorite destinations. If Nothing there then to Dykesville. Egg Harbor for jumbo perch, Brown Trout and Northern Pike. Don't need to get to far from shore and there is just something cool about fishing on Lake Michigan. Worth it for a stop at Al Johnsons as well. Have their Sweedish Pancakes. Make sure that the ice is good before you go 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.
    • 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.
