Hey Nate,

I haven't been out yet, I just got back from Milwaukee my Mother-in-Law passed away Friday night. From what I have been hearing Gogebic is pretty decent, just don't go in the middle as of yet, there is a ton of snow like usual so the ice isn't great. The walleye action is great at Bergland Bay, but I will be going after the illusive perch this Saturday, I will post the report on Monday.

Good Luck and be safe everyone.

Sorry about your mother-in-law Greg. All the best.

Perchking,

I get up to the Ironwood area about every winter,and last winter I stayed in Bergland for a few days,I have not been ice fishing in MI before,most winters I head up to Tower Mn and the lake Vermilion area.I have heard some good things about ice fishing in the western U.P,might give it a try there this winter.

You will be able to get on the ice with a truck but the only way off will be a hefty bill from a Tucker or Snow Cat. I have seen about 5 trucks on the main part of that lake in my life and 2 went through. tons of springs and lots of snow doesn't make good vehicle travel. Plus you cannot plow roads because it is a designated snowmobile route that circles the shoreline. You can walk any where you need to go, remember the lake is 18 miles long and a little over a mile wide. So the farthest you need to walk is about 1/2 mile max. Most of the spots it is just about a couple hundred yards. there are tons of access points on both of the east and west shore line.

There are alot of places to stay, just google Bergland, MI for #'s The Ice will be pretty nice by the end of the weekend, I have a buddy out there right now and the West Shore is nice, the East shore has some slush but it should be fine.

      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.
