i just got back from the contest. me and my nephew went. I would have been the first to catch a fish but i released the dang thing. it was a small 4 inch sunny. I thought it was to small but i was asking around after i realsed it and i heard around that no one was even catching them. but towards the end i wwas right next to that emily girl that caught that northern on the rattle wheel with a shiner, i wonder where she got them shinners. but what happened to them having the contest out in the hole on the lake in the big bay. that was such a dumb spot it was at, only 6 ft max.

Years ago this contest was on the north end of the lake. For several years running a 3 or 4 oz. perch was the winner. Never anything bigger. One year there was bad ice conditions on that end so they moved it to the present location. Now, it takes about a 4 lb northern to win it, as it did today.

There are only the two spots to access the lake with those big trailers. I think they made a good call. Anyway, that's why they hold it in the bay.

BTW, I also caught a small sunny and had a flag on my tip-up, but no fish. frown

Hi, new here, just trying to get some info on fishing contests. And, to add what I can. I was at the Chaska contest on Saturday. I ended up winning the portable DVD players from the raffle that was in the tent. It was cold.

We went to Lexington's contest on Sunday, and they said it was to cold and they just held it in the bar. That was kinda neat, but I wanted to fish.

As plans go, I am heading up to Devil's Lake North Dakota this weekend for their big contest. If that falls through, we will end up at Fish lakes contest. The New Market Sportsmans contest is Febuary 8th if anyone is interested. I will be on the landing selling tickets.

Good luck fishing. Don't forget, Eelpout festival is right around the corner.

      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.

      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.
