Vook,

I guess you were right, wow I bet the girth on that is close to 11-12 inches... I like my women a little hefty but when there height matches their girth, then they have a problem...

Nice catch. 65 degrees here in DC, just thought I would let you know...

They use a chainsaw and cut a large square out of the ice...then they use what they call a "rake" to "muck" the wigglers from the soft bottom. I've never seen it done but I might be willing to give it a whirl!

Bill,

I don't think you will find mud flats like we think of on say Mille Lacs. I think the reference to mud just the bottom type you need to be on as that is where the magical wigglers are and the perch are looking for their meal. Perchking & Vook are the experts here so they will probobly chime in.

Hawkeye,

We are hopefully going to be up for 4 days at the end of the month also.

Maybe we can hook up.

Bill,

I know it is tourney time on LG so most people are pretty tight lipped when it comes to spots, the Hog-A-Thon is on the 28th with some pretty good prizes. I can tell you that you should be looking for large flats in 20+ feet of water. I like to stay away from the crowds at this time, and keep it quite once you find them.

Good luck, you will find them.

Hey Guys,

Well my trip didn't turn out as planned. Two hours before we were leaving I got a phone call that my dad was in the hospital again for complications from a snomobiling accident that happened about two weeks ago. I had my bags packed and already bought my license.... frown Anyways I stayed back (my dad is o.k.) and my buddies went up there. They fished for a day and a half, landing 20 walleyes and zero perch. Half of the eyes were legal with two being 23". They caught them all after dark (they pulled a wheelhouse out). For some stupid reason it didn't sound like they tried for perch all that hard (don't know why?) but they did have a lot of fun. They said they sure got a lot of funny looks from the locals!! smile

I hope to make it up next year!

Sorry to hear about your dad man, but glad he is doing ok. That many walleyes and a couple over 20 is a great trip. I only have a handful of walleyes over 20 on Gogebic. I can just imagine the looks they got with that wheelhouse grin

Hey guys. There is no snow on the lake, just some H20 out there now and trucks were abundant on Friday and Sunday when I was out there. There were TONS of fishermen (the most I've ever seen) on those days. I heard one spot had over 100 shacks!!! The bite was awesome on Friday but slowed down greatly the next two days. I am now in search mode and trying to get away from the crowds... I have a pink shack w/a polka dot four wheeler. If you see me please stay clear! Thanks! I got some pics which I'll post later on today. smile

      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

      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.
