Jay - Hole Shots.. Kyle was doing hole shots with Frankies sled and it was never the same again. If only Kyle took care of other peoples equipment like his LX-5 these trips wouldn't be so expensive. Kyle maybe you should pair up with Z next year laugh Sorry pal couldn't resist grin

I'm having nightmares about Sunday just thinking about how I made a bad decision about not going North and it cost us a top 5. I keep going over the numbers in my head and figured we had about 6.5 to 7.0lbs in perch and with an average 8 1/2 gill going .45 equals 3.6 lbs for a total of around 10.6 lbs.

We had it Frank but I made that stupid call not going North, I think if I didn't count the perch wrong and we actually had our 8 and not 7 I would have said lets do it but not actually catching a perch up there I decided to go the mixed pumpkin seed and perch spot. We did get our 8th perch there but we ran out of time, we should have just said screw it and go north and if any time we come back and try for our 8th perch.

Could have, should have and would have.... Those are the questions aren't they? Do you guys know how bad I wanted to be in the 5 and say "knock knock boys, team NY is at your front door". I thought going into it that we had a GREAT shot at making the top 5 and catching those 2 big perch 5 minutes into it I KNEW we had a great shot at it.

Just in case nobody has figured it out, I have a very competitive personality and it usually doesn't come out until game day. Otherwise I'm just quiet and do my thing until it's time to play. LOL

Ok I'm off of my soap box and putting the beast back until next time.

Oh yea Frank, just going 82 mph doesn't clean it out. You have to get on it hard right at the get go to get all the cylinders hot to burn off all the build up. When I was in the parking lot and moving it did you hear how I was goosing her hard with quick strokes on the throttle, that's how you keep the plugs clean. (Can't wait to hear the Kyle and Jim comments from that sentence LOL ). There's a few other tips I'll give you to help you save the belt on her also, 1 is don't use reverse unless you actually have to and 2 is try not to keep it at a steady throttle at low rpm's. The belt starts getting really hot then starts slipping and burning, you have to kind of goose it every so often at low rpm's, helps save the belt.

The way I see it I still think a beefy ATV like Tyler's is the way to go or Joe and Myron's set up with the matching King Quads all racked out. That was sweet. Ice gator is something that should be mandatory for the tour after watching quite a few guys using them, I am convinced they would have a permanent spot on the front of my machine.

Lee thats so funny man, we all kick the [PoorWordUsage] out of ourselves let it go...the first 1 is the worst, you will learn it doesnt matter what you do, you can ALWAYS say i should have done this...the big fish could have came from here i should have hit it, should have moved quicker....you will drive yourslef nuts. Once you do a few it goes away cuz you have 5 friggin hours to make a game plan and the plan changes based on many factors, sometimes as your leaving the starting gate it changes...you have to remain fluid and with your partner make the best guess you can at that time with the info you have...and at the wiegh in, its over, you executed your plan the best you could have during that 5 hours with the info you had....end of story.

You get another 10 hours in December to reformulate your plan once again...i truly believe that is why the NAIFC tourneys are so addicting cuz its really you Vs yourself and your game plan. By tourney time you know where the species you need are. Its how you and your partner communicate and manage your time that dictates how the day will unfold. Dont be second guessin or ill have to slap the [PoorWordUsage] out of you, you did better at your first torney than any of us have ever fihsinhed in the past 3 years. Time to Study the BOOM

Jay and I were talking and there just flat out sick. I saw Joe drill about 6 holes in 28" of ice in about 3 minutes and I think that was with a 7" lazer head. It didn't slow or stop it just kept on ripping of course mine would have been done in a bit less time but you don't have to worry about gas getting all over everything either..

      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

      By rundrave · Posted

      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.
