Spent Sun Mon and Tues fishing between Baylield and Madeline Island in 140 ft the action was good, 6 trout in total 2 nice 28 inch red fins and 4 that were 18 to 20 inches, good eaters in all...Lots of really good hits that were missed and on the last day my friend had a monster to the hole that came off right when he got him to the leader i estasmated at least a 15 pounder when i looked down the hole way bigger then the 28 inchers. we were at th 9th tree on the road guys were getting fish around us two we used yellow and white bobbing beatles and white crippled herring the crippled herring had by far the most hits. we tip them with cut herring or smelt. go up and give it a try it was awsome. Was any one out there?

blackjack,
Now you got my blood pumping smile.gifsmile.gif I will be up in ashland fishing this weekend. Thanks for the report, i was planning on staying near ashland on the sled, but may have to head over to the road to give it a try now. Nice fish, whew, would like to tangle with that bigone he lost. The beetles will be packed for sure. Were the active fish you were seeing mostly suspended, or near the bottom? Weather looks nice for saturday, gonna have a good time no matter how the fish hit grin.gif

Hey guys... fished the ice road also with Northlander on Monday (130FOW) and today I fished out off Basswood, along the southend of the island (135FOW). Monday was slow for us, as we did have some fish interested and a few hits but nothing hooked... lots of pressure along the road these days but as blackjack was saying everyone is till getting fish... off Basswood I iced three fish.. the biggest being 32 inches today on a firetiger crippled herring and a white power tube.. the other two I caught on a chartreuse airplane jig with a glow twister tail and a small piece of herring cut bait.. was very warm.. 40+ degrees and its suppose to be like this for another two days... so the slush/water situation will be horrible...if you all come up this way.. give me a shout as I live in Bayfield...

Yeah blackjack... Craig at Outdoor Allure sells the firetiger color... in assorted sizes... I usually fish with a 2 or 3 ounce...rattlesnakie spoons also work well.. in the white with glow.. thank god the slush froze up a lil bit on the lake last night... my friend was out doing assessments with the commercial fisherman and said a lot of the bigger holes froze over again.... next week if the ice holds up I plan on heading out north of Red Cliff in a few spots that havent been fished to hard this year... all the reports I have heard from the past few days are good.. people are getting fish.. some more then others.. but thats the way fishing goes... I work days on fri-sat-sun so I cant fish then.. but Mon-Thursdays I can fish.... give me an e-mail if you want.. [email protected]...

Has any fished by the hermit island quarry i have always done well their but have not been able to get out that far this year if any ones hears a report from farther out let me know the ice could be getting shaky after this warm spell .Was any one else that fished the ice road yelled at for punching holes near the road we were 10-20 yards off the road but some guy stopped and told us to fill are holes so we don't flood the road out?i realize that, but hey were just fishing.. Just wondering

      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.

      By Wanderer · Posted

      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.
